Services
Dog Grooming
Professional full-service dog grooming tailored to breed standards and coat types. Our experienced groomers provide scissor finishes, bathing, and nail care while ensuring pet comfort. Services include temperament assessment and personalized care plans for anxious pets, with optional add-ons like blueberry facials and paw balm treatments.
Microbubble Therapy
Advanced microbubble baths deliver oxygen-rich cleansing for skin and coat health. This chemical-free process removes allergens, reduces shedding by 60-80%, and soothes skin irritations. Ideal for pets with sensitivities or those requiring deep cleaning, the treatment promotes circulation and immune system support through negative ion technology.
Puppy Grooming
Specialized introduction to grooming for puppies aged 8 weeks+. Focuses on positive reinforcement through gentle handling and treats. Includes basic hygiene trims, ear cleaning (no plucking), and short baths to build confidence. Helps establish lifelong grooming routines while monitoring vaccination schedules.
De-Shedding Service
Scientific de-shedding process using specialized tools and formulas to reduce shedding by 60-80%. Combines deshedding shampoo, conditioner, and fur removal techniques to improve skin health and coat elasticity. Recommended for double-coated breeds and allergy-prone households, with optional monthly maintenance plans.
Comb-Out Sessions
Weekly comb-out services prevent matting between full groomings. Technicians use breed-specific tools to maintain coat condition while providing skin health assessments. Available as a membership plan based on dog size, this service extends grooming intervals and reduces discomfort from tangled fur.
