FAQ
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Pricing depends on your dog's size, breed, coat condition, and the service you choose, so a chihuahua bath and a matted doodle full groom are very different appointments. Call us at (406) 413-1620 with your dog's breed and what you need, and we'll give you a price before you book. Our reviews regularly mention that we're an affordable option in Billings.
Call or text us at (406) 413-1620, or send a request through the quote form on this site and we'll get back to you. Let us know your dog's breed, size, what service you want, and anything we should know about temperament, and we'll find a time that works.
Our salon is at 706 Central Ave in Billings, and we groom dogs from all over the area, including Lockwood, Laurel, Shepherd, Huntley, Worden, and Park City. If you're anywhere in the Billings area and willing to make the drive, we're happy to take care of your pup.
Yes, we're open seven days a week. Weekday hours are 9am to 5pm, Saturdays 10am to 4pm, and Sundays 11am to 3pm. Weekend slots fill up fastest, so book ahead if Saturday or Sunday is your only option.
Yes, and it's honestly what we're known for. Our customers' reviews talk about rescue dogs who were terrified of everything leaving calm and groomed, because we take extra time, give breaks, and never force a frightened dog through a groom. Tell us about your dog's history when you book and we'll plan the visit around their comfort.
A full groom covers a warm bath with coat-matched shampoo, blow-dry, full brush-out, a haircut styled to your dog's breed, a nail trim finished with a Dremel, ear cleaning, and a sanitary trim. Everything your dog needs in one appointment.
Most dogs do well every four to eight weeks. Curly and long coats like poodles and doodles need grooming more often to prevent matting, short coats can go longer, and heavy shedders benefit from de-shedding treatments during Montana's spring and fall coat changes. We'll recommend a schedule for your specific dog at your first visit.
Yes, ear cleaning is part of our full grooms and we check ears at every visit. One Billings customer brought in a poodle whose ears had developed a yeast problem, and we got them cleaned out so he could go home comfortable. If we spot anything that looks like it needs a vet, we'll tell you honestly.
Both. We trim with clippers and finish with a Dremel grinder, which rounds and smooths the nail so there are no sharp edges. The Dremel also lets us work in small, careful passes, which is safer and often less stressful for dogs who dislike the squeeze of clippers.
A standalone nail trim is usually under 30 minutes, a bath and brush around one to two hours, and a full groom one to three hours depending on size, coat, and temperament. We'd rather take the time to do it right and keep your dog calm than rush, and we'll give you a time estimate at drop-off.
Yes. We choose shampoos based on your dog's coat and skin, and we're used to working with allergy-prone dogs. One of our regulars is a golden with seasonal allergies and skin struggles, and we work through the owner's concerns at every visit. Tell us what your vet has said and we'll groom accordingly.
We keep payment simple and accept the common methods most customers expect. If you have a specific question about how you'd like to pay, just ask when you book at (406) 413-1620 and we'll confirm before your appointment.

Serving Shepherd
Shepherd is rural Yellowstone County at its best: a small unincorporated community northeast of Billings surrounded by ranch land, hay fields, and open country off Highway 87. Dogs out here work and live hard. Heelers, shepherds, and ranch crosses spend their days outside in the dirt, wind, and weather, and even the family pets get more acreage than most city dogs see in a year. That life builds up coats full of dust, burrs, and packed undercoat that a garden hose can't touch. There's no groomer in Shepherd itself, so the drive down Shepherd Road into Billings is simply part of dog ownership here, and our Central Avenue salon makes it a short, easy trip.

Why Shepherd customers need this work
Grooming for Shepherd dogs leans practical. Working and outdoor dogs need thorough de-shedding, deep baths, dematting, and tidy-ups that keep coats functional rather than fancy, and that's bread-and-butter work for us. Nail care is a bigger deal than most ranch owners expect, since soft ground doesn't wear nails down and overgrown nails change how a working dog moves. Our Dremel finish keeps them short and smooth. And plenty of country dogs have never seen a grooming table, so our patient, no-force handling matters as much in Shepherd as anywhere we serve.

Why Choose The Puppy Parlor for Pet grooming in Shepherd
Shepherd dog owners bring their pups twenty minutes down the road to The Puppy Parlor on Central Avenue in Billings, and they tell us it's worth every mile. Ranch dogs, family dogs, and everything in between get full grooms, baths, de-shedding treatments, and gentle Dremel nail trims from a 5.0-star rated groomer who takes the time to do it right. Open seven days a week for schedules that don't follow a nine-to-five.
Shepherd customers choose us because we treat every project like it's our own — no upselling, no surprises, just straightforward work that gets the job done right.
Whether you live in Shepherd or just need a reliable team nearby, we're a short drive from Billings and happy to walk you through every recommendation before any work begins.
With no groomer in Shepherd, the question is which Billings shop deserves the drive, and we'd argue a 5.0-star rating earned on patience and quality is the answer. We're used to country dogs: the dirt, the undercoat, the suspicion of strangers with clippers, and we work at the dog's pace instead of forcing the issue. We're open weekends, including Sunday, so a town run after chores still fits. Shepherd owners who've found us tend to stay, because a groomer who handles your dog right is worth twenty minutes of highway.
