Services
Full Service Grooming
Our comprehensive grooming package includes fur clipping to your chosen style, thorough bathing, nail trimming, and ear cleaning. Tailored to each dog's temperament and coat condition, this service ensures your pet receives complete care while maintaining safety standards. Prices start at $55, adjusting based on size, coat complexity, and behavioral needs.
Puppy Package
Designed for puppies' first grooming experiences, this package includes three monthly sessions to build positive associations. Each visit follows our full grooming process while focusing on gentle acclimation to handling and grooming tools. The $55 package helps establish lifelong grooming comfort through patient, reward-based techniques.
De-shedding
Specialized de-shedding treatments remove loose undercoat hair to improve comfort and reduce shedding. This $3-$8 add-on service uses breed-appropriate tools to maintain coat health while addressing seasonal shedding patterns. Recommended for double-coated breeds during heavy shedding periods.
Nail Trimming
Professional nail trimming prevents overgrowth-related discomfort and mobility issues. Using precision tools, we carefully trim nails to appropriate lengths while monitoring for health concerns. This $14 service includes post-trim paw inspection and is included in all full grooming appointments.
Flea Bath
When fleas are detected, this $15 treatment uses veterinarian-approved solutions to eliminate parasites while soothing irritated skin. The process includes thorough rinsing and post-bath drying assistance. Preventative recommendations are provided following treatment to maintain flea-free status.
