Grooming Services

E-mail Print PDF

Regular grooming is essential to a healthy, happy dog.

We offer a wide variety of grooming services that should suit your needs. We groom all breeds and all sizes of dogs. Grooming Rates vary by your dog's size, condition, and cooperation.

The time frame for scheduling Baths and Nail Trims can vary, however, we typically can fit in most requests within a week or sooner as our schedule and staffing allow. These services are also available to clients during boarding stays who wish to have grooming before the dog returns home.

 

Professional full service grooming is provided in a variety of clip styles appropriate to each breed of dog. Please note that due to the demand for our expert grooming services you must schedule your appointments well in advance.  Full service grooming appointments are made on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays only and no appointments will be scheduled on holidays or during other busy times. Our clients schedule appointments at 4-8 week intervals for at least one year in advance.  New clients will be accepted based on schedule availability. Requests for full service grooming while boarding will be granted as our schedule and staffing allow.

What is the difference between a bath at home and a bath at our facility?  Beyond our skills and experience, the main difference is the equipment and supplies.  Our HydroSurge bath system provides a spa like experience for your dog.  It actually provides an invigorating massage while at the same time cleaning right down to the skin to remove dead skin cells and loose coat.  Selecting the right shampoos and conditioners for the right dog is critical.  We use premium shampoo and conditioners specific for your dogs coat color and type and any skin conditions.  Baths include blow drying and light brushing.  With our Hydrosurge baths your dog will go home looking, smelling, and feeling great.

Here are just a few of the grooming services we offer: 

  • Nail Trimming and Smoothing
  • Teeth Scaling
  • Anal Gland Expression
  • Ear Cleaning
  • Bathing (includes towel/blow drying and light brushing)
  • Premium Shampoos and Conditioners (selected specifically for your dogs coat type/color and skin conditions)
  • Medicated Baths
  • Flea/Tick Baths
  • Tar Baths (great for certain skin conditions)
  • Breed Specific Clips (include a bath, towel/blow drying, and light brushing)
  • Kennel Clips
  • Hand scissoring and finishing
  • Brushing
  • Extensive Brush Outs
  • Dematting 

We offer grooming while your pet is being boarded with us.  This service is based on scheduling availability. Unless your dog already has a regular scheduled grooming appointment we cannot always guarantee we will finish your dog's grooming during their boarding stay.

Please make your grooming reservations well in advance as we are not always able to fit you in on short notice. Grooming drop off is between 8:30am - 10am. We will call you when your dog is finished being groomed after which time you may pick your dog up. Please do not expect your dog to be finished before 5pm, without exception. Often times dogs are not finished until after 5pm, please wait for us to call you before coming to pick your dog up.  Please keep in mind that our hours have been carefully chosen in order to balance customer convenience with the ability to provide the best possible care to all dogs in our facility.

Keep your pet healthy and happy by making a grooming appointment today!  Your dog will leave looking, smelling, and feeling great.

All dogs staying for Grooming must be up to date with their vaccinations. Proof of vaccination is required. Please review our Vaccination Policy.

Service Testimonials

"Jay is totally supportive of the needs of our dog and us as a family. When we had a family emergency, Jay met us on the way to the airport to pick up our dogs. He buys special diet food if they need it, and even takes them to his personal home if they need special support. The kennel is very clean and quiet. And our dogs don't come home wired like they did from other boarding kennels." -Thomas Schwaab, M.D.
