At Open Arms Pet Grooming, we believe that professional grooming is more than keeping pets looking their best. Regular grooming supports skin and coat health, improves comfort, helps identify potential medical concerns, and contributes to a pet's overall quality of life. Unfortunately, financial hardships, medical challenges, and unexpected life circumstances can sometimes make professional grooming difficult to afford. The Accessible Grooming Program was created to help bridge that gap by providing reduced-cost or fully sponsored grooming services to qualifying families whenever funding is available.

How the Program Works

The Accessible Grooming Program is funded through the generosity of our community.

• A portion of every regularly priced grooming appointment is contributed to the program.

• Community members may also donate directly to help pets in need.

• Every dollar donated goes directly toward providing grooming services for approved applicants.

Applications are reviewed confidentially and individually based on each family's circumstances and the funds currently available. While we wish we could help every pet, approval cannot be guaranteed and may depend on available funding at the time of your request.

Who May Benefit

This program may be appropriate for pets whose families are experiencing circumstances such as:

• Financial hardship

• Temporary medical expenses

• Disability or fixed income

• Senior pet owners with limited resources

• Unexpected life events or emergencies

• Other situations creating a temporary need for assistance

Every application is reviewed with compassion and without judgment.

Services That May Be Covered

Depending on available funding, assistance may include:

• Full Groom

• Bath & Brush

• Maintenance Groom

• Nail Trim

• Deshedding Services

• Other grooming services as determined appropriate for the pet's needs

The type and amount of assistance provided will vary based on the individual situation.

What to Expect

If your application is approved:

• We will contact you to discuss the level of assistance available.

• We'll schedule an appointment that meets your pet's grooming needs.

• Every pet receives the same patient, compassionate, one-on-one care provided to all Open Arms clients.

Participation in this program is completely confidential.
