Why Cage-Free Grooming Makes All the Difference
At Storybrooke Pet Grooming in Otsego, MI, we believe that grooming should be as stress-free and comfortable as possible for every dog that walks through our door. That’s why our home-based salon is proudly cage-free, offering a calm, personalized experience that pets (and their humans) love.
What Does Cage-Free Grooming Mean?
Unlike traditional grooming shops where pets are often kenneled before and after their appointment, our salon is designed for one-on-one grooming. That means:
One pet at a time – Your dog has our full attention from start to finish.
No long waits – We don’t rotate dogs through cages while waiting for their turn.
Immediate pick-up – When we send you the “finishing up” message, your pup is ready to head home and relax.
This approach creates a low-stress, boutique grooming experience that’s especially helpful for anxious, senior, or first-time dogs.
Benefits of a Cage-Free Salon
Calmer Environment: Without the noise and chaos of a busy shop, pets stay relaxed.
Gentle Handling: With fewer distractions, we can focus on your dog’s individual needs.
Personalized Care: Every appointment is tailored to your pet’s coat, personality, and comfort level.
Faster Turnaround: No waiting in kennels—your dog’s grooming is completed start to finish.
