All questions
What’s the difference between a full groom and a partial groom?
Both include a bath and blow-dry, nail trim, ear cleaning, teeth brushing, deshedding, a face, paw and sanitary trim, a coconut oil finishing touch and cologne, with anal gland expression if needed. The full groom (J$7,000) adds a full haircut and styling. The partial groom (J$5,000) has no full body haircut.
Is there an extra charge for a matted coat?
Yes. A matting fee of J$1,000–J$5,000 applies if excessive matting is present.
My dog is nervous, or doesn’t like strangers. Can you still groom him?
Yes. We don’t rush to restraint. Every dog is different, and we move at their pace to keep the groom as calm and comfortable as possible. We welcome dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and we’ve groomed dogs who can’t see. Tell us about your dog when you book.
Do you come to my house?
Yes. Mobile grooming is available islandwide: we come to you with everything needed. Outside our regular area we come on country grooming trips, with a J$3,000 flat transportation fee within the parish.
When is the country grooming trip coming to my parish?
The tour dates are on our mobile grooming page and on Instagram. If your date has passed, or your parish isn’t listed, send us a message and we’ll add you to the contact list for the next trip.
How young can my dog be?
Our services are for dogs aged 3 months and up.
What happens after I send a request?
We reply on WhatsApp to confirm the date, time and price. Once your booking is confirmed we send consent forms, which must be signed and returned before any service starts.
Do I need to send food when my dog boards?
You can. Boarding is charged by the day, and the rate depends on your dog’s size and whether you send their own food. Ask us for the current rate.
Can you take my dog to the vet?
Yes. Our dog taxi does vet runs and pick-ups. The price depends on where you are and where your dog is going, so message us with both.
Are you a vet?
No. Canine Clips & Coaching is a grooming, training and care business. We offer add-on care like deworming, Heartgard heartworm prevention, NexGard flea and tick prevention and wound cleaning, but for illness or injury see your vet. Our dog taxi can take your dog there.
Can you help me take my dog out of Jamaica?
Yes. We help with the export requirements: vaccinations and health certificates, travel documents, parasite treatments and airline coordination. It starts with a consultation; message us your dog’s details and destination.
Are your prices in Jamaican dollars?
Yes. All prices on this site are in Jamaican dollars (J$). We confirm your price on WhatsApp before your booking is confirmed.
