Money well spent! My puppy went from being afraid of the leash and afraid of just about everything to a semi-well mannered puppy that loves the leash and is opening up to everything else.
I couldn’t have done it without Elevate!!

Frequently Asked Questions About Elevate Canine Kutz
How often should I get my dog groomed?
The frequency of grooming depends on your dog's breed, coat type, and lifestyle. For long-haired breeds, we recommend grooming every 4-8 weeks to prevent matting and maintain coat health. Medium-haired breeds typically benefit from grooming every 8-12 weeks. Short-haired breeds can often go 8-16 weeks between sessions. Double-coated breeds usually require grooming 2-4 times annually, especially during shedding seasons, to manage their undercoat and reduce shedding.

A typical grooming session at our facility lasts between 2-4 hours. The duration varies based on factors such as your dog's size, coat condition, and the services requested. Additional treatments or special care needs may extend the session time. The dog's behavior and cooperation also influence the grooming duration.
