FAQ's

Q: What kinds of grooming services do you offer?

A: We offer a wide range of services for both dogs and cats, including full baths, styling cuts or shave-downs, de-shedding brush-outs, sanitary trims, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and personalized care based on your pet’s coat, breed, size, and temperament.

Q: Do you handle both dogs and cats?

A: Yes. We groom both dogs and cats, tailoring our techniques to suit each species. With cats, we focus especially on minimizing stress and ensuring comfort throughout the process.

Q: How do you ensure a safe, low-stress environment for pets?

A: Our salon is led by Megan, a certified groomer who treats each pet as part of the family. We use gentle handling, give pets breaks as needed, adapt to each animal’s behavior, and maintain a calm, caring atmosphere. Every grooming session is customized to your pet’s needs.

Q: How much do your services cost?

A: Pricing is competitive and transparent. Because each pet’s grooming needs vary (size, coat condition, style of cut, etc.), quotes are customized. Please contact us with your pet’s breed, size, coat condition, and what kind of grooming you are looking for, and we’ll give you a detailed estimate.

Q: Where are you located and how do I get in touch?

A: We are located at 451 Northeast Road, Unit 4, Standish, ME 04084. You can reach us by phone at 207-648-4100 or via email at megan@megnificentpetgrooming.com.

Q: Do I need to make an appointment, or do you take walk-ins?

A: Appointments are recommended so we can ensure the time and attention your pet deserves. Walk-ins may be accommodated depending on availability — it’s best to call ahead to check.

Q: What should I do to prepare my pet for a grooming appointment?

A: A few helpful tips:

Let us know about any special needs, behavioral concerns, or health issues beforehand.
If possible, brush out mats or heavy tangles before arrival.
Ensure your pet’s vaccinations and flea/tick prevention are up to date (for everyone’s safety).
Bring your pet with no food about an hour before the appointment, if possible, to avoid motion-sickness or discomfort.

Q: What happens if my pet is anxious or nervous about grooming?

A: We understand that grooming can be stressful for some pets. We take things slowly, provide reassurance, use gentle handling, and adapt to each animal’s comfort level. For cats especially, we take extra care to make the environment as soothing as possible. If needed, we can schedule shorter sessions or breaks.

Q: What is your cancellation or rescheduling policy?

A: (Insert your policy here — e.g. “We request 24-hours notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Fees may apply for no-shows or last-minute cancellations.”)

Q: Do you handle special grooming requests, like breed-specific cuts or fancy styles?

A: Yes. We can do breed-specific cuts and special styling requests. When booking, please describe exactly what you want (photos help!) so we can allow sufficient time and ensure the style is achieved.
