Services

Whether your pet simply needs a nail-trim or a complete make-over, we can help. Your pet's needs are our top priority and we'll help you decide exactly what services are needed.

We ask that all pets be picked up at their scheduled time or at least by 3pm. Please contact us if you foresee a scheduling problem.

After 3:00 pm, we clean, organize, and disinfect the Salon. We prefer to keep your pet safe and out of any disinfectants in the building during this process.

About how long
does it take?

Bathing

We bathe every pet twice in a shampoo selected specifically for their coat, skin condition, allergy, or veterinarian recommendation. We apply a leave-in conditioner for selected pets.

Cut & Style

We perform a pre-clip before bathing your pet to set your pet's breed pattern or style. After bathing and drying completely, we set the style with a final clip. A final clip is the best clip your pet can receive.

Nail-Trims

We include nail trimming in all of our baths and haircuts. You may bring in your pet just for a nail trim at an a la carte price during business hours without an appointment.

Ear Cleaning

We include ear cleaning in all of our baths and haircuts. We pluck ears on those pets that need the hair plucked. However, we gently pluck ears and will not torture your pet if it is too impacted to pluck the hair entirely.

De-matting

We will de-mat your pet's hair if it isn't too matted. Excessive matting can only be removed by shaving your pet. See our article on "When your pet needs a smoothie" to fully understand why.

Anal Expression

Upon request, we perform anal gland expression when your pet is getting bathed. We always perform this service on small dogs unless requested otherwise. Large dogs usually do not need this service performed unless they have a problem. Please advise us if this applies to your large dog. We do not express cat anal glands.

Coloring

Coloring is our favorite thing to do! We carry a variety of colors that wash out within 4-10 washes. The type of fur depends on how long your pet's color will last.

Tear-Stain Removal

Tear stains are tuff. We sell a product called Angel's eyes which currently works the best with most of our clients. It works internally and is applied directly to your pets food. Our blueberry facial scrub when used every time your pet is groomed is soothing to watery eyes and lightens tear stains.

Flea & Tick Prevention

We sell Frontline Plus®, Advantage®, and AdvantiX®. These are topical treatments applied to your pets skin. We advise you to apply these products 24 hours after your pet is bathed. Topicals work with the natural oils in the skin, so you want to allow the natural oils to replenish after bathing.
