High Standards Grooming

High Standards Grooming is a dog grooming, boarding, and daycare facility in Jonesboro, Arkansas. Guest reviews at 4.9 stars across 103 ratings consistently describe the facility as clean, professional, and caring — several reviewers mention dogs who are nervous about grooming but respond well to the staff's patient approach, and one owner of a senior dog with medical needs praised the team's attentiveness. Staff model. The facility confirms that all staff are trained in dog behavior and can identify issues that arise during daycare and boarding. The daycare space includes gates separating small dogs and a dividing gate to separate more playful dogs from quieter ones. Boarding dogs are in a daycare-style environment around other dogs, and the facility notes that stress-related reactions — such as decreased appetite or mild digestive changes — can occur and are not the facility's responsibility. Overnight staffing is not explicitly addressed on the website. Daily routine. Daycare and boarding operate in a social, open-play environment. The facility is open Tuesday through Friday 8:00 am to 6:00 pm, with weekend and Monday hours limited to 8:00–9:00 am and 6:00–7:00 pm for drop-off and pickup. Late pickups incur a $25 fee (5 minutes to 1 hour late) or $50 (more than 1 hour late). Holiday pickups and drop-offs are not standard and require advance approval; if accommodated, a $100 holiday service fee applies. Intake. Specific vaccination requirements are not published on the website — the facility states that all required vaccinations must be current and reserves the right to refuse admission if requirements are not met. The facility acknowledges that some illnesses, including Bordetella, conjunctivitis, and papilloma virus, cannot be fully vaccinated against in a social setting. Owners are required to disclose behavioral issues including aggression, anxiety, and escape tendencies. An emergency contact other than the owner must be provided. Who it suits and doesn't. Well-suited to owners who want grooming and boarding from the same provider and who are comfortable with a social, open-play boarding environment. The facility is upfront about the risks inherent in group settings — owners who prefer a private-room boarding model or guaranteed overnight staffing may want a conversation with the facility before booking. Limited weekend hours mean drop-offs and pickups outside the two daily windows require advance approval.
