Member since Apr 2017

Welcome to the award winning, The UpScale Tail, Pet Grooming Salon!

We specialize in grooming fearful pets and we are the founders of the free "Meet & Greets for Anxious Pets". Our grooming specialties include puppies, rare breeds, rustic coats, hand scissoring, hand stripping, special needs pets, cats, conformation show dogs, senior pets, all breeds and more! And, our highly trained Pet Stylists are CPR & Pet Tech First Aid Certified.

Your pets will adore our nourishing spa specialties like our hot oil treatment or moisturizing treatment for their dry skin and brittle coat. Treat them to a sumptuous "Blueberry Facial" or "Blueberry Bubble Bath" to whiten, brighten and sanitize.

Don't forget our "Tooth Brushing" service for great oral health and "Nail Trimming" so that your pet walks on their pads and not their nails. Why not treat them to a "Pawdicure" to condition and sanitize those hard walking paws.
