Question 1

How much does dog grooming cost at Pretty Paws?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your dog's size, breed, and coat condition. A small dog bath costs less than a full groom on a large double-coated breed. We don't publish set prices because every dog is different. Call us at 812-786-8948 and we'll give you an honest quote before your appointment.

Question 2

What dog grooming services do you offer?

Accepted Answer

Full dog grooming (bath, haircut, blow dry, brush-out, nail trim, ear cleaning, sanitary trim), bath-only appointments, standalone nail trims, and de-shedding treatments. We do everything your dog needs to look and feel their best.

Question 3

How do I book a dog grooming appointment?

Accepted Answer

Call us at 812-786-8948 or book online at book.cuddlesapp.com/pretty-paws-pet-parlor. We're open Monday through Saturday, 8 AM to 5 PM. Most people get an appointment within the same week.

Question 4

Do you groom nervous or anxious dogs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and we're good at it. Justice is patient with dogs who are scared or have never been groomed before. We go slow, give breaks when needed, and never force anything. A lot of our clients came to us specifically because their dog had a bad experience at another groomer.

Question 5

Do you groom senior dogs?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Older dogs need a little extra care and patience. We take our time, use gentle handling, and make sure they're comfortable the whole way through. If your senior dog has health issues, let us know when you book and we'll plan accordingly.

Question 6

What should I do to prepare my dog for grooming?

Accepted Answer

Make sure your dog has water before coming in. Bring them on a leash or in a carrier. And tell us about any medical conditions, skin issues, allergies, medications, or behavior stuff before the appointment. The more we know, the better we can take care of your dog.

Question 7

Are vaccinations required?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines — rabies and distemper at minimum. This is for the safety of all the dogs we groom. Have your vaccination records ready when you book.

Question 8

How long does a grooming appointment take?

Accepted Answer

Full grooms usually take 1 to 3 hours depending on your dog's size and coat. Bath-only appointments are quicker — 30 to 60 minutes. We don't rush. Your dog gets the time they need.

Question 9

What areas do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We're located in Nabb, Indiana, and serve Charlestown, Hanover, Madison, New Washington, Otisco, Marysville, Scottsburg, Memphis, Henryville, Sellersburg, and surrounding Southern Indiana communities. If you're within about 30 minutes of us, we can help.

Question 10

What if my dog has never been groomed before?

Accepted Answer

That's totally fine. Just tell us when you book. We'll plan extra time for the first visit so your dog can get comfortable. We go slow, keep things calm, and let them adjust. Most first-timers do better than their owners expect.

Question 11

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept cash, credit cards, debit cards, and NFC mobile payments like Apple Pay and Google Pay.

Is Pretty Paws Pet Parlor insured?
