Services
Full Groom
Our comprehensive Full Groom service includes professional bathing, brushing, and hand-drying using premium products. We clean ears, trim nails, remove pad hair, and carefully groom sanitary areas. The coat is then clipped or hand-scissored to your preferred style, ensuring your dog looks and feels their absolute best after each visit.
Mini Groom
Ideal for maintaining coat condition between full grooms, this service includes bathing, brushing, and hand-drying. We clean ears, trim nails, and tidy eyes, feet, and sanitary areas. Perfect for keeping your dog looking smart without the full grooming process, particularly beneficial for active pets needing regular maintenance.
Bath & Brush
Designed for medium to long-haired breeds, this service prevents matting through thorough bathing, brushing, and hand-drying. We clean ears and trim nails as needed. Particularly effective for maintaining coat health between full grooming sessions, helping preserve your dog's natural beauty and comfort throughout the year.
Bath & Deshed
Specifically formulated for double-coated and short-haired breeds, this service reduces shedding through deep cleansing baths and manual de-shedding. We include ear cleaning and nail trimming as required. Helps maintain a cleaner home environment while promoting healthier skin and coat condition through professional deshedding techniques.
Nail Trimming
Our standalone nail trimming service ensures proper paw health and comfort. Performed by experienced groomers who understand canine anatomy, this essential maintenance helps prevent discomfort from overgrown nails. Available as a separate service or included in grooming packages, always executed with gentle handling techniques.
