Welcome to

Pet Panache CAT Grooming

Thank you for visiting the website to inquire about grooming for your cat. Due to the current situation, the intake procedure for new clients follows current protocols. Please read the COVID-19 Procedures provided in the link below.

In order to book a grooming appointment, I require:

a completed Grooming Request Form (available in the link below) sent to me at
a copy of your cat's vaccination record.

Once those are received, I will book an appointment as quickly as possible.

Thank you for your patience.

Kathy

Grooming Request Form

Ontario has closed down groomers again. The stay-at-home order was issued to 19 February inclusive. All appointments are cancelled. Thank you for your support and believe me, I wish things were different. Stay well and stay safe.

If you can, please use Wahl D'Knot spray when combing out your cat. It is cat safe, and can help avoid clumps of shedding fur turn into mats.

Thank you!

Kathy

COVID-19 Procedures

EARS, EYES & NAILS (EEN)

Ears get dirty and smelly; eyes can have discharge, especially if your cat has a Persian type of nose. Nails grow quickly, sometimes right into the paw pads (ouch!). The average cat's nails need trimming every 6-8 weeks. Prevent these situations or keep them getting worse

$15. Price includes HST.

SOFT PAWS/NAIL CAPS

These vinyl nail caps come in a variety of colours. They safely cover the sharp ends of your cat's nails, while allowing them to extend and retract their nails normally. They usually last around 6 weeks, then are re-placed as your cat's nails grow. EEN included in the service.

Front or rear paws: $25. All four paws: $30.

Prices include HST.

DESHEDDING

$20.

MATT REMOVAL

Prices start at $10 and include HST.

Pelted cats: $150 and up

FULL COAT GROOM (FCG)

A thorough de-greasing bath removes excess oils, dander, dandruff and plain old dirt. Blow drying removes dead undercoat (fur that is shed in your home) and some mats. The finishing comb-out leaves your cat silky soft. The FCG includes cleaning the ears and eyes, nail trim and optional sani-trim. Romani de-shed service is included if needed.

Short-haired cats from $62.

Long-haired cats from $73.

Comb cut - add $20.

Price includes HST.

Price contingent on condition of fur and skin.

LION CUT and VARIATIONS

A clean-shaven cat (except for the head, paws and part of the legs, as well as the end of the tail) can be the style of choice for those kitties who get too hot wearing their fur coat year round. If there are several hard mats or if the mats have felted together into a solid layer called pelting, then a Lion Cut is the solution. This groom includes EEN, pre-clip, bath, blow drying, finishing clip and comb-out.

Prices start at $85 and includes HST.

Price contingent on condition of fur and skin.

BELLY/HALF-BELLY TRIM

Sometimes only the arm pits, belly and groin area are matted. These mats can be shaved while leaving a full fur-coat everywhere else.

Half belly (also known as the "fanny-sani shave" $15.

Full belly $25.

Prices include HST.

COMB CUT/VARIATIONS

Instead of a Lion Cut, consider just a hair cut! Available in various lengths, from ¼" to 5/8" (.5cm to 1.5cm). Since any mats and un-shed fur needs to be removed first, the Full Coat Groom is included in the Comb Cut price.

Prices start at $93 and includes HST.

Price contingent on condition of fur and skin.
