What distinguishes this business
The Muddy Mutt takes cat bookings by phone with a $50 nonrefundable deposit
The Muddy Mutt in Arlington lists a cat bath from $85 and full groom from $120. The bath includes nails, ears, light brushing and a blowout; the full groom adds a haircut. Its cat page directs owners to call for appointments rather than relying on the dog booking flow. Both categories typically take one to two hours, subject to the cat's size and temperament.

A question worth settling
What is the final bath or haircut estimate, and can the deposit transfer if I need a different date?
Call 703-888-2303 and provide the required rabies record. Every cat appointment requires a $50 nonrefundable deposit. The published exception is rescheduling with at least 24 hours' notice to another date within 30 days; it is not a promise of a cash refund. Cancellation or a no-show forfeits the deposit. Light brushing in the bath package does not mean unlimited dematting, so describe tangles before choosing the lower-priced service. Ask for an actual pickup message or time rather than treating the typical duration as guaranteed. The South Oxford Street salon's dog packages and dog self-wash information are not substitutes for its feline menu.
