What matters when choosing this business

Do not use playtime pricing to estimate a late fee

The menu lists playtime at $3 per hour but late pickup at $15 per 15 minutes. Two charged 15-minute periods would be $30, not $3. Arrange any longer stay in advance and confirm when late charging begins; the low playtime rate does not grant permission for an unplanned delay. Source

Compare the package and cancellation exposure

Bath & Tidy includes limited face, feet and sanitary trimming, whereas Bath & Haircut includes a full cut. The breed examples differ between their small, medium and large categories, so a size label is not a universal price band across both menus. Cancellation within 48 hours or a no-show is listed at half the grooming price per dog; confirm each dog's quote and applicable terms. Source

Still to confirm

Each dog's package price, approved longer-stay arrangement and late-fee start time.
