Clover & Clip

Marlowe Row, Portland

One coat comes off. One stays on. Both leave comfortable.

Clover & Clip is an appointment-only grooming shop with two dog stations and a separate cat room. Four groomers work here. Nobody is sedated, and nothing is started before the price is said out loud.

Tuesday to Saturday, 08:00 to 17:00 · (503) 555-0164

What a coat is doing decides the appointment

  • Short and smooth
  • Double
  • Curly or wool
  • Long and silky
  • Wire
  • Cat
  • A white spitz standing on a grooming table pad with its coat brushed out and dried.
    A double coat brushed out and dried on the table. Most coats come back every six to eight weeks.
  • A groomer clipping a red toy poodle on a salon table, the coat coming away in heaps beside it.
    A curly coat coming off in one pass. This is the coat a comb-out is quoted against.
  • A grooming work surface with a hand dryer, brushes and towels laid out.
    A station laid out before drop-off. Two of these, plus the cat room.
  • A steel grooming comb.
    A comb, not clippers, is what finds a mat before it becomes a shave.

The Coat Check

Three things decide most appointments: what the pet is, what the coat is doing, and how much of it there is. This is the same table the front desk works from.

Usual service, time band and price band by pet and coat type
PetCoat type ServiceTime band Price bandGood to know
DogShort and smoothBath & Tidy Midday, 10:30 to 12:00$45 to $85 A smooth coat needs no haircut, so this is a bath, a dry, nails and ears.
DogDoubleDe-Shed Treatment Morning drop-off, 08:00 to 09:30$60 to $110 A double coat is never shaved. Shaving one damages how it regrows and how the dog handles heat.
DogCurly or woolFull Groom Morning drop-off, 08:00 to 09:30$65 to $135 Curly and wool coats mat close to the skin. A comb-out is quoted before any work starts.
DogLong and silkyFull Groom Midday, 10:30 to 12:00$65 to $135 Long silky coats hold their length best with a trim every six to eight weeks.
DogWireHand-Strip Morning drop-off, 08:00 to 09:30$95 to $160 Hand-stripping is booked by consult first, because it depends on where the coat is in its cycle.

Over 70 lb moves the appointment to the morning drop-off window. Wire coats are a dog service. Every band is a band: the groomer confirms the price at drop-off, before any work starts.

On the table

Three parts, and the quote comes first.

  1. Drop-off and comb-through

    The groomer goes through the coat with a comb while the owner is still there, says what the coat needs, and confirms the price band before anything starts.

  2. Bath, dry, and the work itself

    Bath, a proper dry, then the haircut, de-shed or hand-strip the coat actually calls for. Nails and ears are part of every appointment.

  3. Collection, on a named time

    Pets go home the same day on a time given at drop-off. Nobody waits in a crate for a slot that was never booked.
