Services

... where pets are pampered ...

One of these services is the foundation to your pets coat and skin health, and we will help you determine their needs. Each bath includes a gentle, relaxing massage.

The BASICS

Sometimes, you just need a bath and a scrub behind the ears!  Well, in the ears...   Our BASICS will do just that, using a  premium, all-natural shampoo and conditioner. We'll also do ear cleaning, touch-up of feet, pads, and nails, sanitary trim, blow dry, and a quickie brushing. Great for between regular haircuts, and short-hair dogs.

The WORKS

Starts with the Basics...adds minimal scissoring, clipping, and blending into your favorite style. This is for pets who are regularly groomed, with coats in good condition.

HEAVY-DUTY STUFF

Extra nail work, dematting, thinning, brushing, clipping, shaving, and/or scissoring.  For pets whose coat, ears, and nails need extra special care. Some of these dogs may not be regularly groomed, and can be difficult to work with. This is also for shaving pets with hair not meant for shaving, such as labs, goldies, and rottweilers.

Ala Carte Services

In between regular groomings, your pet may need one of our a la carte services, just to stay neat, fresh and sweet-smelling!

PET SITTING

When your babies stay with us -  whether for a night or a month - they are treated the same as our own.  They're members of the family!

No crates - no gates.  No time alone in a kennel.

In the morning, we all go to work together and in the evening, we all go home together!

Where do they sleep?  Wherever they want to!

Within reason, of course.  They'll have the option of sleeping in the living room on the sofa...in the bedroom on the floor ...or right up in bed with the rest of us! But, no, not in the tub -  that's a little too wierd...

We keep the costs reasonable, too, with no "extra" charges for things like giving treats, going for walks, or administering meds.

PLAY DATES

A day of supervision and lots of buddies to play with is so much better that being home... all alone.

Most dogs benefit from socialization.  It can help old dogs stay young and more active, and young pups learn manners from their elders in a very natural way.

Some babies come every day while mom and dad are at work... some come once a week to play while mom is out running errands.
