Dog Grooming and Daycare in Farmingville, NY

If you live in Farmingville and you have been putting off finding a groomer because you do not want to hand a dog over and then find out the price at pickup, here is the short version. Our grooming prices are published by weight before you book, and the same building on Portion Road also runs doggy daycare and overnight boarding, seven days a week.

Grooming, daycare and boarding for Farmingville dogs

Most grooming salons do one thing. That is fine until your week stops cooperating — the dog is due for a haircut, you have a long day at work on Thursday, and you are away for a weekend at the end of the month. Then you are managing three different businesses, three sets of paperwork, and three drop-off routines with a dog who has to get comfortable in each one.

Portion Road is set up so that all three happen in the same place with the same staff. A dog who already knows the building for daycare is a much easier dog to groom, and a much calmer dog to board. That is not marketing; it is just what familiarity does to a nervous animal.

Published grooming prices by weight — no quote on arrival

Very few grooming salons publish a number. You call, you describe your dog, and you get told it depends. It does depend — but it depends on something completely knowable in advance, which is how big your dog is and whether the coat is getting cut or just washed and dried.

So the ranges are public:

The spread inside each range is weight. A small dog sits near the bottom of it, a large dog near the top, and the figure that applies to your dog appears on the grooming page when you book — before you commit, not when you arrive.

One honest caveat that applies at any salon, not just ours: if a coat turns out to be far more matted than it looked, that changes the work. Ask your groomer to talk it through with you before anything starts, so nobody is surprised at pickup.

A price you can read before you book is worth more than a low price you have to ask for.

Things we do not do

Worth saying plainly, so you do not waste a phone call. We do not groom cats. We do not do creative colouring, show grooming, or hand-stripping — if you have a wire-coated terrier whose breeder told you the coat must be stripped rather than clipped, you want a specialist, and that is not us.

Open seven days a week, including Sunday

Grooming runs 9am to 5pm every day of the week, Sunday included. That matters more than it sounds. Plenty of people can only realistically get a dog to a salon on a weekend, and a Tuesday-to-Saturday schedule quietly rules them out.

Daycare runs longer — 7am to 7pm, also seven days. Late pickup after 7pm is $5 per fifteen minutes, which we would rather tell you now than at the door.

Daycare while you're at work, boarding while you're away

Daycare pricing is published the same way grooming is:

Passes do not expire, which is the right structure for a dog who comes twice one month and six times the next. They are non-refundable. Sales tax of 8.75% applies.

Boarding is $60 a night for a regular 4x4 private kennel and $75 a night for a premium 4x6. Every overnight stay includes a full day of daycare at no extra charge, so a boarded dog is not sitting in a kennel all day waiting for you. Check-in is 2:00pm to 7:00pm and check-out is 7:00am to 11:00am. Meals go out at 8am, 1pm and 6pm, and custom schedules are available for puppies, seniors, or dogs on a medical diet. Bring your own food, or we can provide it at $5 per day per dog.

Worth adding, since it comes up: bordetella does not fully prevent kennel cough. What people call kennel cough is canine infectious respiratory disease complex, and the AVMA counts roughly eleven contributing pathogens. The vaccine narrows the odds; it does not switch them off. Anything that looks like illness is a vet conversation, not a groomer conversation.
