Partridge Animal Care provides one-on-one, comfort-first grooming for dogs in the Metamora and Woodford County areas. Every dog is introduced slowly, allowed to settle, and groomed at the pace they feel safe with. There are no loud dryers blasting, no crowded kennels, and no rushing to meet a timer—just quiet, individualized care designed around your dog’s emotional wellbeing.
Dogs with anxiety, doodle coats, behavior sensitivities, or grooming trauma benefit from a calm environment where they can decompress and build trust. Grooming times vary depending on coat condition, behavior, and comfort level, and timing is never guaranteed. Your dog’s safety and emotional state always come before speed.
Grooming here is relationship-based, gentle, and practical—focused on keeping your dog healthy, comfortable, and understood.

Sanitization Protocols: We adhere to the highest cleaning standards. All equipment and work areas are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized between appointments for your pet's safety and health.
Safety: We use safe, professional equipment and techniques and reserve the right to refuse service to any pet we deem a danger to themselves or our groomers. For everyone's safety, muzzles may be used if a dog shows signs of potential fear, offensive, or dominant aggression.
Comfort: If we cannot offer an environment that an anxious or stressed dog can handle, grooming may be stopped early. Only a partial grooming fee will apply based on the work completed.
No Anal Gland Expression: Anal gland expression is not offered under any circumstances for safety and liability reasons.
Service Area: All services are provided almost exclusively within our Woodford County, IL area, ensuring focused and personalized care for our neighbors.
Vaccinations: For the safety of all pets, dogs must be current on Rabies and DHPP/DA2PP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza) vaccines.
Payment: Payment is due at pick-up. Only cash or check addressed to "Gabriella Koedijk" is accepted.
Consultation: All initial consultations are handled online via email to assess your pet and provide a detailed price quote before the appointment. This ensures transparency and helps us prepare for your pet's specific needs. To get a consultation, send a detailed picture or video of your dog to our email with the title: Grooming Consultation.
Satisfaction Guarantee: We pride ourselves on clear communication. If, for any reason, we cannot meet your specific grooming request during an appointment (like timing), we will let you know and offer a $10.00 discount off the final bill for the inconvenience.
Comfort-First Timing: All services are performed at the animal’s pace. Timing varies depending on comfort, behavior, coat condition, and environmental factors. No exact finish times are guaranteed.
· Surcharges & Fees ·
The following fees may apply if your pet requires additional time and care:
Special Handling Fee: A $10.00 - $20.00 surcharge for aggressive, difficult, or highly anxious dogs that require extra time, patience, or safety precautions.
Cancellation/No-Show Fee: $20.00 will be charged for appointments canceled with less than 10 hours' notice. For late arrivals past 30 minutes is an additional $20.00; but keep in mind that late arrivals most often have shortened appointments. Late arrivals past an hour after agreed-upon timing is considered a no-show and will be charged the full grooming amount plus fees.
Drying Difficulty Fee: $5–$15 for dogs who cannot tolerate the blow dryer and require towel-drying or extended drying time.
Special Equipment Fee: $5–$10 for dogs requiring special tools like muzzles, slow-drying methods, or additional safety equipment.
De-Matting/De-Tangling Fee: An extra $10.00 surcharge for every 10 minutes needed to safely de-matt, brush out, or shave a tangled or matted coat.
Note: We prioritize your pet's comfort and health. If matting is too severe, we will proceed with a full shave-down rather than a painful de-matting process. If you do not want this risk, prevent matting by brushing your dog daily.
