Services
Dog Grooming
Our full grooming service includes bathing with breed-specific shampoos and conditioners, nail clipping, ear cleaning, and coat styling through clipping or scissoring. We handle all breeds and temperaments, using hand-held dryers and no cages for a calmer experience. Prices vary from 30.00 for small smooth coats to 65.00 for large doodle breeds, ensuring tailored care for every dog.
Teeth Cleaning
Using the Emmi-Pet ultrasonic system, we clean teeth without vibration or sound, removing plaque and preventing gum disease. Sessions start at 40.00 and include an individual toothbrush head. Regular maintenance during grooming appointments costs 20.00, promoting both dental and general health for dogs with varying levels of cooperation during treatment.
Dematting Solutions
We address severe matting through humane shaving rather than painful brushing, following the Animal Welfare Act (2006). For minor knots, we use gentle techniques while advising owners on home brushing routines. Regular 6-8 weekly grooming sessions are recommended for breeds prone to matting, with additional maintenance visits available to preserve coat health.
