Bath and Brushout

Some pets do not require a haircut so we offer a bath and brush out.  We offer gentle oatmeal hypo allergenic shampoos as well as special whitening shampoos.  We will also use your own vet recommended products if requested.  Price varies based on breed and size.

De-Shedding

We use FURminator, a de-shedding process in which a special shampoo is applied with hydro-surge bathing to deeply penetrate skin and coat.  A special conditioner is then applied and massaged into the coat by hand for 10-15 minutes, rinsed thoroughly, dried by high velocity dryers and lightly finished with a special rake to a beautiful shine. $30

Walk In Appointments

The following services are offered on a walk-in basis for dogs and cats, no appointment needed.  Groomers typically leave for the day around 4pm.

 

Nail Trimming  and/or filing (dremel) is important for your pets well being.  There are health reasons for regulary maintaining your pet's nails. Long, unkempt nails not only look unattractive, but over time they can do serious damage to your dog (not to mention your floors).  With this service, there is always a small risk of some bleeding.  Regular trims can reduce the chance of bleeding but not eliminate the risk completely.  It is also helpful to avoid walking on the sidewalk immediately following a nail trim.  Trimming $18, Dremel $22 and $20 for cats.

 

Anal Gland Expression is a procedure which is performed on cats and dogs when fluid inside the gland builds and the animal is unable to express the fluid themselves. $25

 

Ear Cleaning  Gentle cleansing of ear canal and hair removal. $10

 

Sanitary Trim  Some pets never require such a trim but others are rather messy when they take care of business and need to be cleaned around their tails to maintain hygiene. $25

 

Dental Treatment   We use PlaqClnz, a zinc based oral hygiene treatment to help prevent tartar, plaque, and gingivitis. $15
