Halloween falls on a Saturday this year, and many pet parents are already planning costumes, photos, and neighborhood walks. A fresh bath and a tidy coat make all of it easier. If you live in the San Fernando Valley, pet grooming packages let a local salon match the service to your dog or cat instead of leaving you to guess.
This guide covers what packages include, what they cost, and how to prepare your pet for the holiday week. The details come from the services listed at Fluffology in North Hollywood.
What Is a Grooming Package and How Does It Work?
A grooming package bundles the steps your pet needs into one appointment. Most start with a bath and end with nail care, and the coat type decides what goes in between.
A smooth-coated Lab needs a different plan than a doodle with a curly coat. Good pet grooming packages are built around coat type, size, and age, not one menu for every animal.
Which Dog Grooming Packages Can You Choose From?
Fluffology lists five dog grooming packages in North Hollywood:
- Puppy Fluff (puppies 5 months and under): two shampoos, conditioner, ear cleaning, gland check, hand blow out, brush and comb out, and nail trim.
- Bath & De-Shed for smooth coats: two shampoos, de-shed conditioner, ear cleaning, gland check, hand blow out, a full body de-shed, and nails cut and filed.
- Bath & De-Shed for double coats: the same core steps plus a brush and comb out, foot trim, light furnishings trim, and a sanitary trim on request.
- Bath & Tidy for haircut breeds: a bath with light brushing and a tidy-up around the face, paws, and sanitary areas. It works well between full grooms.
- Full Groom for haircut breeds: bath, conditioning, sanitary trim, and a full body cut and style.
How Much Does Dog Grooming Cost in North Hollywood?
Dog grooming prices depend on the service, your dog’s size, and any add-ons. Starting prices listed on the grooming page are:
- Bath & De-Shed (smooth coats): from $75

What Cat Grooming Options Are Available?
Cats get their own menu of cat grooming packages, priced by coat length:
- De-Shed with bath: bath, blow out, de-shed, nail trim, ear clean, plus sanitary and foot trims as needed. From $100 (short hair) or $150 (medium to long).
- De-Shed without bath: de-shed, nail trim, ear clean, and trims as needed. From $60 or $80.
- Full Groom with bath: bath, blow out, nail trim, ear clean, sanitary trim, and a full body cut and style. From $170 or $210.
- Full Groom without bath: the same cut and style without the bath. From $100 or $150.
A no-bath option can suit cats who dislike water.
Why Does a Low-Stress Grooming Suite Matter?
Busy, noisy rooms can make grooming stressful. Fluffology uses private, spa-like grooming suites built to keep the environment calm so dogs and cats feel safe and comfortable.
A calmer visit usually means a smoother groom, and it helps shy or first-time pets build good habits. You can meet the team on the Our Stylists page and see finished looks in the gallery.
How Should You Prepare Your Pet for Halloween Week?
Book a few days before the holiday so the coat is clean and your pet has time to settle. Then run through this short list:
- Confirm hours: The salon is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10 to 6. Call to check holiday hours.
- Test the costume: Make sure it does not block vision, breathing, or movement, and let your pet wear it at home first.
- Trim nails and clean ears: Both help your pet stay comfortable in a costume.
- Secure the candy: Chocolate and sugar-free sweets with xylitol are toxic to pets.
- Brush the coat: A de-shed cuts down on loose fur, especially on dark costumes.
What Makes the Best Pet Grooming Store?
The best pet grooming store is the one that is clear about what you are buying. Look for:
- Services listed by coat type, with what is included
- Starting prices posted before you call
- A calm, private setting for dogs and cats
- Easy online booking and a local address
- Photos of real finished work
Fluffology’s grooming page covers each of these, which makes comparing options simple.
