Our Grooming Services

  • Full groom

    Full groom

    A full groom covers everything your dog needs in one visit: a bath, a careful dry, a tidy haircut, nail trim, and a finish that leaves them looking sharp. We work at your dog's pace, especially if they are nervous or new to grooming. This is a good choice for dogs with longer coats that need regular shaping.

  • Bath and brush

    Bath and brush

    A bath and brush is a lighter service for dogs that do not need a haircut, just a good clean and a brush out. We wash away dirt and loose hair, dry your dog gently, and brush through the coat to keep it healthy. This is great for short-haired breeds or dogs that shed a lot.

  • Breed cut

    Breed cut

    A breed cut is a groom that follows the traditional style for your dog's breed, whether that is a poodle clip, a schnauzer trim, or a shih tzu cut. We know that each breed has its own look, and we work to match it. Your dog still gets a bath, dry, and nail trim as part of the service.

  • De-shedding treatment

    De-shedding treatment

    A de-shedding treatment removes loose undercoat hair so your dog sheds less at home. We use a special brush and bath to pull out the dead hair gently. This is a relief for heavy shedders like labs, huskies, and shepherds, and it leaves their coat feeling lighter.

  • Nail trim

    Nail trim

    A nail trim keeps your dog's nails at a healthy length so they can walk and run comfortably. We trim carefully and stop if your dog is nervous. This can be done on its own or added to any groom.

Caring for coats and skin

We pay close attention to your dog's coat and skin during every groom. We notice dry patches, mats, or irritation and let you know what we see. For a sensitive or itchy dog, we work gently and avoid anything that might bother them. Our goal is for your dog to leave feeling clean and comfortable, not stressed.

Signs a groom is overdue

  • Visible matting

    If you see clumps or tangles in your dog's fur, it is time for a groom.

  • A strong smell

    If your dog smells even after a wipe down, a bath is overdue.

  • Overgrown nails

    If you hear your dog's nails clicking on the floor, they are too long.

  • Dirty ears

    If your dog's ears look waxy or smell, they need attention.

  • Excess shedding

    If you are finding fur everywhere, a de-shedding treatment can help.

  • Dull coat

    If your dog's fur has lost its shine, a bath and brush will help.

How often your dog needs grooming

How often a dog needs grooming depends on their breed, coat type, and lifestyle. A poodle or shih tzu needs a haircut every few weeks, while a short-haired lab might only need a bath and brush. Dogs that spend a lot of time outdoors may need more frequent baths. We can help you figure out a schedule that works for your dog.
