Bathing your dog on a regular basis helps keep the skin and coat clean and healthy as well as keeping the dog looking and smelling his best. Some breeds shed more than others, requiring more frequent brushing. Dogs that develop undercoats during cold weather will shed more as the weather turns warmer. Proper removal of this undercoat will help prevent matting, hot spots, and general discomfort for the dog. There will also be less hair littering the house.

Our invigorating, oxygenating hydro-massage bathing system mixes water, air, and shampoo together to lift dirt, dander and dead hair from your dog's coat, leaving him squeaky clean and fresh smelling. We use only premium quality, all natural shampoos and conditioners. 

Baths include:

Brush-out, nail trim, foot hair trimming, ear swabbing, anal gland expression, bath and blow dry. We will also trim feathers, ruffs, ears, etc. if this service is requested. Prices are dependent on breed, size, and condition of dog.

Some breeds have hair that requires clipping on a regular basis. Clipping usually falls into two main categories, style and utility. Utility clips are generally done for owners who desire ease of maintenance, regardless of the style that is the standard for their breed of dog. This type of clip should be done every four to eight weeks, depending on the hair growth rate of the individual dog. When clipping is done for style purposes, hair is generally left longer and should be done every four weeks to keep the dog looking his best.

Grooms include:

Clip to owners specification, nail trim, ear swabbing, anal gland expression, bath and blow dry. Prices are dependent on breed, size, style of clip, and condition of dog.

Good grooming should also include special attention to ears, feet and teeth. Bacteria thrive in moist, dark places, like your dog’s ears, foot pads and mouth. Left unattended, these bacteria can create infection, which can be very painful for your dog.

Ears: Although dogs with floppy ears are more prone to ear infections, any dog can get an ear infection. Removing wax build-up and excess hair that grows at the base of the ear canal allows the air to enter and help keep the ears dry. Regular cleaning can help prevent infection.

Feet: Nails that are allowed to grow too long can cause pain and make walking difficult. Most dogs should have their nails clipped about every four to six weeks, although some breeds and individual dogs require less frequent nail care. Many long coated dog breeds have excess hair that grows between the pads of their feet. This hair can collect dirt, pitch, salt, etc., causing matting, discomfort and possible infections. Removal of this hair helps prevent these problems.

Teeth: Dental care is an area of grooming that is often overlooked. Excessive tartar can build up on the teeth causing inflammation and infections that may lead to tooth loss or organ failure. Regular tooth brushing is a good way to supplement professional cleaning that is performed by the dogs' veterinarian.

Additional services: Medicated, hypo-allergenic, and flea baths, as well as tooth brushing are available by request. Photos
