Where there's Always Time for "Tails"

Welcome to Once Upon A Pup. We are full-service dog grooming that provides a very comfortable environment for your pet. Our veterinarian recommended groomer Debbie, adores dogs and your dog will love being groomed by her.  She grooms with a soft voice and a gentle touch. 

We only schedule one appointment at a time with no overlaps for this cage-free grooming. This ensures your pet will receive individual attention. Your dog will enjoy his/her pleasant, comfortable experience.

Debbie Atkins is a certified dog groomer and owner with years of experience handling dogs. She  earned a "Highest Honors" diploma through JKL Training Academy.  Debbie has also been a  member of The National Dog Groomers Association of America (NDGAA) and the ASPCA. She was awarded first place in a grooming competition, along with the honor of "most votes overall".

Upon request, Debbie will be happy to show you how to brush or comb your dog's hair out. Doing this at home will help remove dead hair and dirt, and prevent matting. It will help your dog to look great longer and increase the bond you have with him/her.

Grooming is an essential part of your dog's health. It is recommended that you groom your dog every 4 to 6 weeks for his/her health and well being.  Your dog will always finish with Once Upon A Pup looking and feeling great!

   "Thanks for taking extra special care of Archie. This is the best I've seen him look in all the years we've been watching him."                                                      

                                                                                    -Brian of Bay Shore, NY  

     "You did such an awesome job on the boys!!! They look fantastic!  They were so happy. When I took them to the last groomer, they cried when I left them. They were not nervous at all. They felt very comfortable with you and that means so much to me. The last groomer said she had a hard time with Rufus (the little one) because he was scared. He was not scared with you at all. He even gave you kisses!  Thanks again for a great job on the boys!"

"He looks soooooooooo cute"

"Thanks so much for my great new look. I usually do not like strangers and definitely do not want them or even my Mom to give me a bath,
but I was immediately comfortable with you.. My Mom said she has never seen me this relaxed after being groomed .She keeps telling me how handsome I look so I guess she's happy too… almost looking forward to my next bath"
                                              Thanks,
