*Pricing based on style, coat & temperament. This information is meant to serve as a guideline to help you understand how pricing is determined, there are always exceptions to these rules. Final Price will be determined the day of your appointment Hydrotherapy Bath & Condition: First your pet's coat and skin will be typed, and the proper shampoo and conditioner will be chosen. They will receive a warm hydro-therapy massaging bath (and a wet de-shedding - or skin - treatment if ordered) using the chosen products, are toweled off and fluff dried by hand. Using brushes while drying the hair leaves the coat fluffy & soft, it also helps remove the shedding hair. In our opinion, this is the ONLY way to dry a pooch. Its safer, healthier, helps remove dead hair & massages the skin.
Ears: The ears will be cleaned with a PH balanced ear-cleanser, and the excess hair will be removed from the canal (for long haired breeds - the 'hair-do' dogs; the short coated breeds rarely need this service). If any irritations or other concerns are found within the ear, you will be notified. Pad & Paw Care: The paws are soaked during the bath, & scrubbed with a natural bristle brush to help clean and exfoliate the pads. The 'crazy toe hair' that grows between doggie toes will be trimmed down or shaved to avoid painful matts, help improve traction and lessen the amount of debris tracked into the house. If the pads are dry and cracked, a healing & emollient 'paw cream' will be massaged into the pads. Your dog is only has one set of 'shoes', we need to make sure we keep them in tip-top condition! Tooth-Brushing & Oral Hygiene: If a dental hygiene is requested, your companion will her their teeth cleaned with one (or a combination of the following): oral hygiene pads, a toothbrush &/or a finger brush. Depending on the temperament and mouth size of the pet, the tool(s) that will best suit the job will be chosen. A pet dental paste will be used, followed by an oral hygiene spray & finished with a breath freshing gel. Hygienic Shave: The hair around the genitalia & anus will be carefully shaved to prevent urine and feces from adhering to the coat causing bacteria growth, staining, irritation & fecal impaction caused by an externally blocked anus. During their bath the anal glands will be expressed if necessary. Undercoat/Loose Hair Removal: Your dog will be bathed in the chosen shampoo and washed using a hydrotherapy bathing system & a combination of different bathing brushes. A high-quality conditioner will be allowed to soak into the coat for several minutes. After all product is rinsed from the coat, they will be towel dried and dried using hand held driers and brushes. When the coat is dry it will be brushed using a special tool to help release the shedding hair. Keeping shedding at bay requires a regular grooming schedule and maintenance brushing at home. We will help you learn the correct way to brush your pet for maximum effectiveness. Brush-Out: Your pet's coat will be brushed free of knots and tangles using the appropriate combs and brushes for their coat type. Heavy/thick coated breeds will be thinned out and have their undercoat removed. All dogs will be finished with a leave-in conditioning mist. Hair-cut/Style: Your pet's coat will be clipped and styled according to specification. I can help you chose a clip that will suit your dog's breed, coat-type and lifestyle. Reference and photo material is available in the waiting room to help determine the best style for you and your companion. Allergy & Medicated Baths: We use a special shampoo (we also carry it for sale to use at home) that helps relieve irriated skin, allows it to heal and helps prevent further irritation. Then we massage a healing conditioner into the skin before we rinse. A topical spray will be misted over the coat to help protect the skin and coat from further irritation while providing itch relief. There is also a gel that can be directly applied to badly affected areas. This stuff is absolutely amazing. I have achieved fabulous results using this line of product. If your companion is suffering from skin and allergy problems, give this treatment a try. All-Natural Whitening/Brightening Shampoo: This aromatherapeutic gentle shampoo is chemical-free and all-natural. It brightens and moisturizes the coat while lightening ugly staining without the use of bleach. For removing stubborn coat stains and home, you can purchase a bottle of tearless facial scrub to take with you. Its wonderful for use on white-faced dogs who stuffer from tear staining. "Paw"dicure & Polish: The excess pad hair is trimmed and the hair around the nails are shaved back. The foot is moisturized and a polish is applied. We have some great colors to choose from, just like a day a the spa. |
