When your dog or cat is in need of grooming, come to Wizard of Pawz, located at
2306 Hassell Road in Hoffman Estates, Illinois
Phone: (847) 882-9894 -- Email Wizard of Pawz

We're open Tuesday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Earlier opening and closing hours upon request)

Full Grooms Include;

• Deep cleansing bath using high quality hypo-allergenic shampoo, or one specifically chosen by the groomer or bather that may be more skin and coat appropriate for your dog. If you have a special request for a specific type of shampoo, (i.e., Oatmeal, Unscented, Kava, Whitening, etc., please let us know).  If your dog has prescription shampoo, we will bathe your dog according to the directions, using their own prescription shampoo. 
• Nails clipped and filed
• Pads shaved
• Ears plucked (on breeds that require ear plucking)and cleaned
• Anals expressed (on request)
• Hand "fluff" dried.  If your pet cannot tollerate the dryer, we will crate dry them using a box fan.  We WILL NOT and DO NOT use heated driers when crate drying,.
• Groom - We will clip your pet according to breed standard, or grooming to your specific direction. Prices given over the phone are only estimates. When calling to inquire, keep in mind that our prices are estimates and vary depending on size, temperament, and condition of the coat, and haircut requested.  
•  Haircuts that require hand scissoring, have more complicated patterns or special requests, (Mohawks or color) may be priced slightly higher.
•  Pets that do not require coats to be clipped are always "de-shedded", (cats included) and brushed out in order to remove as much dead undercoat as possible. Pets will continue to shed when they come home. This is a natural occurence after being groomed. 
• Although there are no add on or extra charges for de-shedding treatment, the cost for grooming will depend on the amount of undercoat your pet has and the amount of time spent removing the undercoat.  De-shedding is always part of grooming in our shop.
• De-matting may add to the price of your pet and will according to the amount and severity of matting.
• We will NOT de-mat pets if we feel de-matting may cause pain or stress. We will give your pet a "comfort clip", (a shorter hair cut). 
• Pets who are severly matted or pelted will have a higher groom price according to the condition of the pet's coat.
• Flea Baths will have an extra charge of $5 to $20, depending on the pets size, condition of the coat, temperament and the length of time required to bathe the pet.

Choice of bows or bandana's and a spritz of cologne are included in the groom.  If you don't need a bow or bandana, please let us know when you drop them off for grooming.  If you don't care for cologne, (perhaps you, someone in your home, or your pet is allergic), please let us know this as well.  We will make sure to mark your pet's groom card with that information.

Hugs and kisses are also included, no charge.

Bath & Tidy's

There are times when your pet doesn't really need a full haircut. We call that a Bath & Tidy. Some customers opt for Bath & Tidy's in between scheduled groomings.  Bath & Tidy's include everything you see for a full groom, except, for the haircut.  We will brush out your pet and remove any matting so that you can keep your pet looking great in between grooms. Bath & Tidy's also enable you to stretch out the timing of your pets scheduled full grooms! Price varies, but is usually anywhere from $10 to $15 less than the price of your pet's full groom price. 

Walk in's (no appointment needed) for:

Ear Cleaning $5 - $8 (price varies depending on work involved to clean your pets ears).

Face & Head Trims $5 - $20 (prices varies depending on what we are asked to do, and if there is any dematting, eye cleaning, etc., involved).

Nail clips $5 (Yes you read that right! We actually lowered the price of our nail clips just for you! But, we can only keep this price for so long, (we're part of this recession too). Please note that beginning in 2011, we will need to increase the price of our nail clips.  Price to be determined.

K-9 Pedicures $15 (nail clipping, pads shaved and feet neatened)

Anal expression $5 (dog is rinsed with water after anals are express)

"Bootylicious" Treatment  $5 (After anals are expressed, we will wash your pet's "booty" with a scented shampoo instead of rinsing them with water).

Lion Cuts or Puss n Boots Cut Price for both START at $55. Price will vary depending on size, temperament, and condition of the coat and whether or not your cat gets a "dry" or "wet" bath. Both hair cuts include bath with rinseless shampoo, or fur foam, nail clipping, pads shaved, feet shaped if required, ears cleaned, and haircut. Please note: If you request a "wet" bath for your cat, (one in the bathtub) there may be an additional charge added to the groom price.  (Lion Cut is when the body is shaved and tail is shaved, but with a "plume" of fur left on the end and the cat has a lions mane.
