Cat Grooming

When booking your cat’s grooming appointment at The UpScale Tail, Ltd. following this simple guide will help you understand how we schedule your cats’ appointment.  Prices for cat grooming do vary based on breed, size, condition and length of coat so please call for individual pricing.

For your cat’s grooming appointment, you must bring your cat in its own individual carrier with a towel inside for it to lay on.

All of the following cat styling services will include a bath and blow dry (if the cat allows); brush and comb out; nail and pad trim if applicable, ear cleaning and sanitary shave.
