GROOMING

At Wag Club, we understand just how important it is for your dog to have a clean, healthy coat. We strive to create a stress free environment not only for the pups, but for the owners as well. Our salon is located just around the corner from our Daycare at 32 Joralemon Street - Store #1. Our grooming team is all about details and helping our human clients navigate their dogs hair. How you should care for it at home, how often they need a groom and what style hair your pup would like - whether breed standard, or a more creative cut. We offer an open line of communication just a like a regular human salon. Tell us what you like, and we can tell you the possibilities!

GROOMING PRE-REQUISITES:

New York City requires proof of the following vaccinations for grooming:

Distemper + Parvovirus (DA2+ CPV)
Bordetella (Kennel Cough)
Rabies Certificate (signed) **NYS requires us to have a Rabies Certificate on file signed by the vet that includes type of vaccine, duration of immunity, name of the manufacturer, lot number and expiration date.**
Dogs visiting daycare while being groomed must have all daycare pre-requisites. This includes the Canine Influenza (H3N2 and H3N8).
Vaccinations must be complete at least two days before coming into Wag Club.

TO BEGIN:

Fill out Grooming Registration Form under our Registration Tab.
Email your pup's Vaccination Certificate with everything listed under pre-requisites (above) to grooming@wagclubny.com. In the email, please include when you would like to schedule a consultation or make an appointment.

PLEASE NOTE:

When making an appointment: Email is usually quicker/preferred.
Aggressive, infirm, special needs and senior pets may be referred to veterinarians for grooming. This is for the safety, comfort and overall well-being of your pup.
If your dog is a new client and over 10 years old, we may ask for a note from your vet to confirm they are healthy enough to be groomed.
We generally book out about a week in advance. For bigger pups, we ask that you try to book at least three weeks in advance as we are a smaller salon, and space is limited.
We do not brush out severely matted dogs. Brushing out severe matting can lead to discomfort for your pup. If your dog is very matted, we will recommend giving them a shorter cut. In some cases of severe matting, we will recommend going to a veterinarian. If this is the case when we meet your dog, we will certainly let you know. If you have any questions, please feel free to give us a call or send us an email.
Depending on what breed your dog is, we may ask that you be on a regular schedule. This especially applies to: any poodle mixes, owners that want to keep their dogs very fluffy throughout the year, terriers that get hand stripping (see below), or those that get breed standard haircuts.
Hand stripping is a labor-intensive process where the groomer pulls out the coat by hand. This typically only applies to terrier breeds that have a wiry coat. Our team specializes in this unique form of grooming, and it can be a great option for certain dogs and their owners. Pricing is dependent on the dog and how often you bring your pup in, but it is generally more expensive than a regular groom. If you are interested in hand stripping, we will likely ask that you come in at least every 4-8 weeks, depending on the dog. We are always happy to discuss the process with you and answer any questions that you may have.
