Services
Bath and Nails
Our bath and nail service begins with a thorough rinse and shampoo, followed by ear cleaning and towel drying. Nails are carefully ground down with a Dremel for smooth edges. The process ensures pets leave clean, fresh, and comfortable, with attention to skin health and coat condition.
Thera-Clean Treatment
This advanced treatment uses microbubble technology to deep-clean skin and fur. Microbubbles attract and remove dirt, allergens, and bacteria without pressure, making it ideal for pets with sensitivities. It complements baths or grooms, enhancing hygiene and odor elimination safely.
Full Groom
A full groom includes a bath, nail trim, and detailed trimming with scissors and clippers. We use a Clipper Vac system to minimize loose fur, ensuring a polished look. Focus areas include facial hair, paws, and coat shaping for breed-specific standards or owner preferences.
Nail Clipping
We use a Dremel tool to smooth nails without sharp edges, reducing injury risk. The process is gentle and precise, suitable for pets with sensitive paws. Regular nail maintenance prevents overgrowth and supports joint health, especially in active or older animals.
Cat Grooming
Our cat grooming services include lion cuts, baths, nail trims, and ear cleaning. We employ calming techniques to minimize stress, using quiet tools and gradual handling. Sessions prioritize safety and comfort, ensuring even skittish cats feel at ease during their visit.
