Services
Full Groom
Professional breed-standard grooming includes pre-bath clipping, hydro bath treatment, drying, and scissoring. Our experienced groomers handle all coat types with specialized techniques to maintain coat health and appearance. Each session ensures precise trimming and finishing touches for optimal presentation.
Bath and Tidy
Comprehensive cleaning service featuring pre-bath brushing, ear cleaning, hydro bath treatment with natural shampoos, nail clipping, and light trimming. This service maintains coat condition and hygiene while providing a refreshing experience for your pet in our comfortable salon environment.
Puppy Package
Three-stage introduction program for puppies and nervous dogs. Includes familiarization session, bath and tidy, followed by full grooming. Our gentle approach builds confidence through handling exercises and positive reinforcement, creating positive associations with grooming from an early age.
Handstripping
Specialized dead hair removal technique for non-shedding breeds. This service preserves coat texture and color while preventing matting. Requires prior consultation to ensure suitability, as this method works best for dogs with naturally shedding coats rather than previously clipped animals.
Furminator
Effective undercoat reduction treatment using specialized tools to minimize shedding. Combines bathing and drying with thorough undercoat removal, leaving coats manageable and reducing household hair accumulation. Recommended for double-coated breeds during seasonal shedding periods.
