Services
Dog Grooming
Our dog grooming services include hand stripping, scissoring, and dematting tailored to large and small breeds. We prioritize comfort for special-needs pets, ensuring a stress-free experience. With over 35 years of expertise, we deliver precise cuts and hygiene-focused care to maintain your dog's health and appearance.
Cat Grooming
Specializing in cat grooming, we handle exotic and hard-to-manage breeds with gentle techniques. Services include deShedding, nail trimming, and bath/brush treatments. Our experience ensures cats receive safe, efficient grooming to reduce stress and promote well-being through meticulous care routines.
Hand Stripping
Hand stripping removes dead hair manually to maintain coat health in breeds with wiry or double coats. Our skilled team ensures natural regrowth and optimal texture. This method, preferred for show dogs, preserves coat integrity better than clipping, delivering a polished, breed-specific appearance year-round.
Dematting
We carefully remove mats and tangles using specialized tools to avoid skin irritation. This service prevents discomfort and promotes healthy skin circulation. Ideal for long-haired or shedding breeds, our thorough dematting ensures a smooth coat while maintaining pet safety and comfort throughout the process.
FURminator deShedding
The FURminator deShedding Program reduces loose hair in dogs and cats using patented tools. This service minimizes household shedding by removing undercoat dead hair without damaging the topcoat. Regular sessions improve coat condition, reduce shedding by up to 90%, and enhance skin health through gentle exfoliation.
