Assembly line grooming is a process that allows a grooming parlor to see very high volumes of dogs per day. Usually, the majority of the dogs seen that day are “checked in” early in the morning. They could be caged for hours before a groomer sees them. In most circumstances stations are set up for each part of the grooming procedure. One person bathes your dog, another may dry them, and finally the groomer may see them for their cut. We feel this style of grooming is more impersonal for both you and your pet. We also feel it is more stressful because of the long duration of the stay, and the many, many dogs and staff in the salon. MOST dogs seen in our spa are out within 1-3 hours (depending on their size, coat type, spa service, and level of difficulty).
