Frequently Asked Questions
How do you complete dog and cat baths without a mobile grooming van?
We are house call (in home) groomers and would need a space available in your home to complete the dog or cat bath. We typically use a bathroom and have all of our own supplies. We bring a drain plug, shampoo, towels, and blow dryer, etc. Some guests have even said their tub ends up cleaner than before we got there! For dogs 100 lbs or less we have a portable tub we can bring as well. Please reach out with any questions or concerns.
"I was so happy to find a mobile cat groomer because they are quite hard to find in the area. I had previously only used services where they came with a van, so at first I was a little skeptical about having it in my home, but it was actually much better! The experience was great! The groomers were super friendly, communicative, and great with my cat, Rhinona. I feel like they listened to what I wanted and I am very happy with the results! I plan on using them as my regular groomers from now on." - Britney
How does Trimmed complete dog and cat haircuts without a salon or grooming van?
We have all necessary tools and our grooming table to make your dog or cat look and feel their best! We also bring our vacuum to pick up hair that comes off during the appointment. We have done haircuts in garages, living rooms, bathrooms, backyards, etc. All of our equipment is portable so most any location will do.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept credit, debit, Venmo, and Zelle. We are moving towards all electronic payments to avoid unnecessary contact and keep our employees safe from Covid-19. During the online booking request, your card is added for no-show protection but is not charged. With your approval we can charge the card on file after the appointment is done.

What is a Lion's Cut?
A lion cut is the fur style given to long-haired cats where the body of the cat is clipped nearly down to the skin. There are a few variations on the cut, but the basic look leaves the cat with very short fur on his body and legs, while his face, neck and most if not all of his tail are left alone.
How often does my pet need to be groomed?
It depends but on average we recommend a schedule of 4-6 weeks. Untrimmed nails can reduce the paw's ability to grip, and put pressure on the foot and leg. This can be very painful for your pet. Long haired dogs and cats run the risk of getting matts in their hair which can cause skin irritation or infection. Those pets will need regular brushing and maintenance by their owner inbetween grooming appointments to help avoid these issues.
Do you accept anxious, nervous, and/or aggressive pets?
We pride ourselves in working with pets that were turned away from big box grooming salons. We have a lot of experience with anxious and nervous pets. Our goal is to provide the service with as little stress to you and your pet as possible. We believe that a pet is most comfortable in their own space with their owner nearby.
"I have a big scaredy-cat of a dog who does NOT like to be handled in any form or fashion. So much so, that I'd previously been asked by 2 different places not to bring her back, or to call ahead to make sure they had enough staff available to hold her down. I'm sorry, but a nail trim isn't worth all the trauma it was causing her. Unfortunately though, the lack of nail trims was seeming to cause her discomfort. Luckily I came across a posting for Trimmed Pets on Facebook, because with Allison's help we've figured out a way to get her to tolerate her little pedicures without too much drama. I also have a demon-cat who tries to bite me when I attempt to clip his nails, but is sweet as pie when Allison does it. She definitely has the magic touch!
Allison and team are very professional, and have been great to work with for the last year and a half. If you're like me with a high-anxiety pet that gets all worked up in the car, or if you have mobility or transportation issues, or you're just busy, let the groomers come to you. I highly recommend Trimmed Pets." - Heather
