| - We have two male cats, a Siamese and a Ragdoll. The Siamese doesn't really need regular professional grooming, however we like our Ragdoll to get what is called a Lion Cut: body clipped short with fluffy head and main with boots and a tail poof. Though he looks a little ridiculous afterwards, this style helps keep him cool and reduces the amount of cat hair in our house. It also removes the need for us to perform "Delicate Maintenance" around his butt to avoid "dingle-berries". (Google it) We wonder if this style makes him self-conscious of his fat rolls, as he kind of looks like a cat version of a Shar Pei when clipped.
I like the idea that the company sends a full-service grooming center on wheels to your door. Including bathing tub, clipping station etc This cuts down on travel/trauma time for the kitties as most cats don't like being in a carrier. They will come get the cat and wrap it in a towel or you can bring the victim out yourself in a towel or carrier. I elected carrier as I am paranoid of an escape attempt outside on our busy street.
Jason was our assigned groomer and he was very nice and professional. He was running about 45min behind that day as they are an extremely busy company often booking weeks in advance. He called about 20min before our appointment time to let me know of the delay, but ended up getting to my residence a few mins faster.
I had him clip my Siamese claws as this has proven to be a nightmarish task involving both my partner and I dealing with "Super Strength Halloween Cat" risking injury to all parties involved. Jason clipped them in about 2min with no complaints from surprisingly docile kitty. This is due to the fact that most cats get calm when thrust into totally foreign environs. Well worth the added $10.
Our Ragdoll likes getting groomed so once in the van he was fine. The only part he hated was being in the carrier which was about 1,5min. Longer carrier stays invoke memories of trips to the vet and all the indignities and suffering that sometimes happens at the good docs office.
Jason did a great job. He worked on our feline for about 40min and that included the clip, 2 shampoos, claws, eyes/ears cleaning blow dry. Their deluxe package is worth it. The only thing I would change is not getting the perfume he scented the cat with. I had forgotten to mention the omission. It was a tropical blend that had our cat smelling like a Caribbean Escort which he spent a good while trying to lick off.
When I got back to the van, our cat was showing some serious love to Jason and was very happy. Not sure if his new scent was inspiring him to adopt some type of "come-hither" behavior!
I will use this company again as our regular groomer is away. She had recommended we use her vet's office, but they charge for an examination on top of grooming fees plus there's the yowling duet 15min drive to and from.
This was fast, friendly, trauma-light (for myself and kitties), and worth the money. They may cost more but they show up at your house in a deluxe grooming center on wheels saving you time and your pets stress. We don't have kids, so the Furry Dudes get the best. We feed them the best food, use the best litter, carry pet medical, and love'em like crazy.
