$5 nail trims! April 5th, 2-4pm, is our next discount nail day!

Yes, we know it is Easter. I am unable to shift the dates, and I'd rather be able to get to the dogs that can make it, than cancel for the month. See you guys there!

2026 Discount Nail Days! Our last one for 2025 will be December 7-8, from 2-4pm. As of 2026, we will be returning to one day a month

*August 7th is a typo. It is August 2nd in that month.

The Altered Dog used Square for our scheduling system a few years ago. We found a more efficient platform (Groomore) about then, and switched. We have not used Square in about two years for scheduling.

If you get a text from Square saying you have an appointment, or I cancelled an appointment, disregard. After two years of inactivity, it has resurfaced old recurring appointments on its own accord, and is sending out appointment reminder texts. Plenty of you are on a different schedule, have left town, or are otherwise confused on the text.

The only contact you should get from Square in relevance to The Altered Dog is receipt/card payment. If its scheduling, its an error that I have now fixed. If you recieve a text from *Groomore* (the 8072 number) that is accurate, and the one we have been using for two years.

It was only brought to my attention because a few people in a short period of time responded with confusion. It shouldn't happen again, but may have happened in the past with me being unaware. A while ago, there was a lot of people who the schedule kept messing up for. We never figured out why. I suspect this may have been it. I apologise, and it should be fixed now.

The Altered Dog has a box up front to collect (not hot or cold) food donations. This will affect a large portion of our county, just in time for Thanksgiving. If you can share, please do.

Updates for 2026:

Discount Nail Days will be moved back to once a month, on a Sunday, 2-4pm. It is a walkin service for $5 (or $15 on our regular days). Keep in mind that our new setup is much more efficient, which solves the reason we originally split up the days at our old location. The discounted dates will be:
Jan 4
Feb 1
Mar 1
Apr 5
May 3
June 7
July 5
Aug 7
Sept 6
Oct 4
Nov 1
Dec 6

Cat day is the day following nail day (pictured is our lovely Maine Coone client, Angus).

2025 Nail Days will continue as scheduled, our next dates are November 9-10, and December 7-8.

The Altered Dog is now opened Tuesdays as well!

For grooming, the no show fee is 50% groom price without 24 hours notice (system reminder at 48 hours). Exceptions are allowed with communication, but if you just don't show up, the fee will be applied to your next groom.

Unless discussed beforehand, dogs must be picked up within one hour of completion. With communication, we can make exceptions. Without communication, failure to comply will result in boarding fees. We are not set up for boarding, if you need daycare, we have recommendations.
