Grooming Services available for all pets. They do not have to be an overnight guest to enjoy our spa services.

PLEASE BE ADVISED 24 HOURS NOTICE IS REQUIRED FOR ANY GROOMING CANCELLATION. A NO SHOW FEE of 50% OF THE GROOM PRICE PER DOG WILL BE CHARGED TO YOUR ACCOUNT IF NOTICE IS NOT GIVEN.

FULL GROOMS-
Regular Groom
Includes shampoo, blow dry, brushing, nail trim, ear cleaning, sanitary trim, scissoring, dematting, clipper work, shaving pads. We will empty anal glands on request. This includes Puppy Cuts, Standard Breed Cuts, Show Cuts and personal requests.
Mini Groom
Depending on the needs of the pet, this can include shampoo, blow dry, brushing, nail trim, ear cleaning, sanitary trim, shaving pads and trimming face. This is ideal for dogs that do not need regular grooming, such as long coated-dogs that regularly shed like Shepherds and Collies. A Mini Groom is also suitable as an in-between groom for dogs that get regular grooming such as Poodles, Bichons, Cockers, Schnauzers, etc.
Mats
Occasionally, we cannot use a brush or comb to demat a pet that is very matted. In this case we will give your pet a fresh start. We will shave your pet to remove mats and make the coat length as even as possible. Please keep in mind that matting of the fur pulls on the skin and is actually very uncomfortable for your pet.

If you believe that your dog has skin issues, we recommend that you see your vet so that we can provide the best corrective solution. We provide several different types of shampoo options.
Oatmeal: colloidal oatmeal is a centuries old remedy for dry itchy skin. The soap free shampoo cleans thoroughly and makes it easier to remove mats and tangles.
Tea Tree: these formulas contain Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) oil, one of the most effective all natural healers of dry, flaky and irritated skin. Aloe vera also helps to soothe the skin. These all natural shampoos relieve hot spots, condition and help detangle the coats.
Brightening: this shampoo will whiten and enhance colors and highlights. It leaves the coat lustrous and conditioned.
Conditioners: these conditioning treatments will revive the hair shafts with conditioning proteins, remoisturize the coat and highlight the colors leaving the coat soft and shiny.
Hypo allergenic: this is a non detergent, alkaline shampoo with coconut oil, conditioners and aloe to reduce scratching, especially for pets with sensitive skin and owners who have allergies to some of their pet danders or scents.
Dermed shampoo: this fast and effective formula contains salicylic acid to help heal skin and reduce odors caused by skin problems such as dermatitis and dandruff.
Defurminator Treatment: this is a 3 step system for removing excess pet hair.
The shampoo is enriched with Omega-3 fatty acids and aloe vera to reduce shedding and promote healthy skin and coat.
This is followed by the deshedding conditioner to help remove the undercoat and loose hair before brushing. Some fast drying with the high velocity dryer helps to blow out the loose hair before using the defurminating tools. This will remove the undercoat without sacrificing the top coat.
Flea and Tick Treatments: this shampoo contains pyrethins to kill fleas on contact. In the event of extreme infestation cases we recommend an oral treatment to kill all the adult fleas initially and a dip to remove any eggs and larvae. These baths or dips should be followed up with one of the many monthly treatments available to keep the pet flea free.
