Bathing
Skin therapy
My bathing services include an overall assessment of their skin & coat. This allows me to fully cater their bathing products to their specific needs. Your dog's spa day includes ANY shampoo, conditioner or skin therapy treatment they may need. I do sometimes offer luxury scented bathing products (at no extra charge) during certain holidays or seasons and are available if your dog has no major skin & coat needs or sensitivities. I also have products that are completely 100% scent and dye free for those pups that are extra sensitive. I use a filtered spa shower head with a 18 layer filtration that filters out 99.9% of chlorine, heavy metals & harsh contaminants that can worsen dry skin or other skin& coat conditions. I also pride myself on not using uncomfortable grated floors in my tub. The dogs get to stand on a cushioned non slip bath mat for the most comfortable experience I can provide.
I have a unique bathing routine, in comparison to some other salons that use a basic 2-in-1 conditioning shampoo to speed up the process. Much of having such a heavy focus on skin & coat health requires a more in depth bathing routine, so my clients spend a good chunk of time in the bath. Probably twice or three times as long as they would in most other salons. Most dogs are shampooed TWICE. Some up to 3 times if they are extremely dirty. First I use a detoxifying of clarifying shampoo and then a shampoo that caters to their specific skin or coat needs. If there are no specific needs and a luxury scented holiday or seasonal shampoo is desired, I'll use that as the second wash. If a skin therapy mud bath treatment is provided, that will replace the second shampoo. Every dog is then given a deep conditioning treatment to properly replenish the moisture to their skin & coat. I do like to allow bath products to sit for a few minutes before rinsing, so the skin & coat can absorb all the benefits. I will either begin or end with a facial. Sometimes 2 if their face is extra dirty. If they are sensitive to their face being washed, I usually save it for last. Some dogs require the use of leave in conditioning sprays as well, which is also included, if needed.
Haircuts
Any haircutting, scissoring & clippering needs are included. Full body haircuts, tidy trims, sanitary areas, paw pads. Whatever your dog needs, they will receive.
​
Haircut results will vary based on your dogs tolerance. I'll always do my very best to send off a beautiful haircut, but cosmetic perfection will NEVER be my main goal or come before safety & comfort. If your dog tells me they've had enough and are too stressed out to continue, I respect that and stop. This goes for any part of the grooming process. Respecting boundaries builds trust and usually, over time, they will allow me to do more and more each visit. The goal is always progress ... not perfection.
Paw care
Every dog will receive a paw scrub during their first shampooing, with a detoxifying or clarifying shampoo. This in done with a soft bristle paw cleaning brush to gently & effectively remove mud, dirt, debris , allergens & irritants from their paw pads & nails.​
​
I also offer soothing paw soaks, which are great for dogs with itchy, irritated, extremely dry/cracked or yeasty feet. This is not something that every dog will need or receive but it's no extra charge if they do. It's like a bath bomb for their feet. Full of ingredients like Aloe & tea treat oil. The soak will help to further pull out toxins, soothe irritation & deeply moisturize.
​
If the hair between their paw pads needs to be trimmed, that will be done. For ultimate paw care, their paws (and nose) will be moisturized with a paw/nose balm right before they head out the door.
Also known as "Canine Pelotherapy". This is a mud bath with a hypoallergenic non-toxic mineral mud and a 10 minute massage to work the product into the skin. I use the highest quality mineral mud on the market and it's highly effective at helping to heal, hydrate, moisturize and relieve skin ailments such as itchy, sensitive, allergy prone skin. Yeast, redness, irritation, hot spots, odors, excessive oils, shedding & even sore joints & muscles for your elderly dogs. I have a few different minerals muds to choose from, that can be mixed & matched or used individually to perfectly cater to your dogs needs. This is a wonderful way to provide your pup with some relief but also to simply take their skin & coat health to the next level. Skin Therapy treatments are included, if needed.

De-Shedding
If de-shedding is needed, or is a concern for you, de-shedding services are included. This includes the use of de-shedding shampoos or a mud bath, conditioners and proper brushing/hair removal tools & techniques.​
​
Properly removing loose & dead undercoat is essential in keeping your dog's skin & coat health in check. An impacted coat will result in thermoregulation issues, could cause your dog to overheat in the summer or trap moisture and bacteria against the skin, leading to a slew of possible skin issues. Being on a good de-shedding schedule for your heavy shedders is more important than you might think
Ear Care
Ear cleaning is included with every spa day service and cleaning technique is catered to their needs. But for many dogs, I apply a liquid cleaner directly into the ear canal first. This is formulated to loosen debris deeper in the canal (which they will shake out) and help dry up any unwanted moisture that may be in there causing problems. I will then use ear cleaning wipes or a cotton pad covered in ear cleaner to remove any gunk or buildup that can be seen or reached. I do this right before bathing and then I add cotton balls to the inside of the ears to keep them dry while bathing, which are removed as soon as their bath is complete. This keeps water from getting into the ear canal.
​
A "happy hoodie", which is ear protection for dogs, is used during the blow drying process. Dog's ears are more sensitive to sound than ours, so protecting them from the noise of the dryer is a must in my salon
Dental Care
Every dog receives fresh breath spray and a basic teeth cleaning. The cleaning does not remove any major tarter or plaque build up. If plaque build up or periodontal disease is present, a dental cleaning with your vet is recommended. Plaque removal requires sedation and a teeth scraping, which is not safe to do in the salon
Nail Care
Nails are included. I also have dog safe nail polish. If I have time for nail painting and it's something you desire, I'm happy to provide this service at no extra charge, but you will be charged for your dog's spa day based on overall grooming time
