Grooming
Taking care of your pet's coat is more than just looks and smells. Healthy pets need grooming to improve skin's well-being, avoid ear and paw infections, cleanse teeth and reduce other illnesses provoked by allergens, dirt, matted fur and humidity. And, yes, they enjoy it because shampoos sooth the skin and de-matting, brushing and grooming their coat makes them feel lighter and fresher.
ABBC's of our work:
Asepsis:
It all starts with a clean slate. The coat of your pet needs to get thoroughly clean; depending on each one, we use different shampoos that are both appealing to your friend, as well as treating their skin for specific needs like allergies, sensitiveness or even fleas. You are always welcome to bring their own shampoo, we like to treat our guests the best way we can according to doctor's orders. With the bath we always include Anal Expression and Nail Trimming.
Brushing & Blow Drying:
A key factor to keep your pet's skin healthy is to
brush them constantly; it invigorates the follicles
and removes unwanted knots and dirt particles.
After their bath, brushing our guests allows us to
untangle their coat and bring out its full color.
Another reason why brushing your dog’s coat on
a regular basis is very important, is that it helps
to prevent bacterial buildup.
​
As your dog sheds fur, they are also shedding
dead skin cells. If dead hair and skin cells are not
removed, they get caught in the deep layers of a
dog’s fur.
​
We use specialized equipment to dry out the
coat and ensure all unwanted humidity is gone.
With age, some of our furry friends get agitated with blow drying, so we have alternative methods to let them dry in a comfortable and relaxed way. Drying their coat allows for a more precise grooming process.
​
Clipping:
There are many styles and preferences when it comes to trimming your pet's hair. A couple of things to keep in mind and which affect the time we need to invest and the complexity of the cut, basically it depends on:
-
The size of your pet - the bigger the pet, more work is needed to bathe and trim
-
The length of the cut - Short cuts (below 1") require less work than Long cuts (above 1") and we even do Specialty cuts (on request).
-
Additional requests that might include deep cleaning their ears, grinding their nails and even applying nail polish!
​
Our staff takes pride in their work and will keep in mind your pet's health and your specific requests in the best way possible. We look forward to having your loved ones visit us soon.
