Grooming Tips

  • What vaccinations does my pet need to stay with Tail Town

    Please have your veterinarian email or fax current vaccine records, or bring proof of vaccination when you arrive.


    Age Requirements:

    Puppies must be at least 12 weeks old and must have received Rabies, at least 2 rounds of DAPP, and Bordetella.


    Required Vaccinations (must be administered by a veterinarian):

    Dogs: Rabies, DAPP, Bordetella

    Cats: Rabies, FVRCP


    At this time, the canine influenza vaccine is not required. However, we recommend speaking with your veterinarian to determine if it’s right for your dog based on their lifestyle.

  • How do I make a Reservation

    You can either make a reservation online or by calling our Frot Desk at 505-891-4100. We will ask you specific questions regarding your pet in order to set up a profile and create a reservation. Tail Town does not require a temperament test or interview prior to grooming.

  • Can I bring my own dog food?

    To keep your pet on their regular diet, we recommend bringing their own food, pre-bagged by serving for each day. This helps avoid upset stomachs and keeps mealtime consistent. If needed, we offer Hill's Science Diet as our premium house food for $5 per day, per pet. Refrigeration is available upon request.
