About a mile from downtown Vineyard Haven in a gingerbread-style cottage, four dog groomers are busy keeping local and visiting pooches in picture-perfect shape. Owner Mary Grasing has spent two of her three decades on MV growing a huge clientele of repeat customers. She credits the grooming business' success to having a "great, happy staff who enjoy what they do".
No appointment is necessary for nail trimming (cost $5 - $10), but bathing, brushing and trimming tends to have a two- to three-week wait in fall and winter, and a much longer wait in spring and summer. Grooming prices vary based on the dog, but range from $30 - $100.
