READ ABOUT CHOOSING A GROOMER

 

Bathing

 

We offer regular and medicated baths, flea and tick treatments, nail clipping, and anal gland checks. We also clean your dog's ears, trim the pads. In addition, with grooming (clipping), your dog will be blown dry, scented with a pet safe cologne, and adorned with bows. We use specially formulated shampoos, such as Fresh 'N Clean, which are good for your dog's skin and coat.

 

Nail Trimming

 

Nails are trimmed whenever your dog is bathed. You may also have your dog's nails trimmed as a separate service, and you don't even need to schedule an appointment. Our Head Trainer can also help devise a behavioral plan to work with dogs who will not tolerate nail clipping... please call in advance if your dog is aggressive when having a nail trim.

 

Medicated Shampoos

 

We have specially medicated shampoos for dogs with  Seborrhea (a chronic inflammatory skin disorder, with symptoms of red or flaking skin) or Flea-Bite Dermatitis (a hypersensitivity to flea bites, causing extensive skin damage and hair loss as your dog bites, licks, and scratches). You should consult with your veterinarian if your dog has severe symptoms.

 

Flea & Tick Treatment

 

We recommend all dog owners have a flea and tick prevention plan for their homes and pets. You need to not only treat your dog with an oral or topical flea treatment, you also need to treat your home, yard, vehicle, and all your dog's bedding and toys. We need to know, in advance, if your pet is on an oral or topical flea treatment if you wish to have a flea and tick dip. We recommend repeating a flea treatment in seven to ten days for best results. TICKS! Please Read This!

 

Coat Conditioners & Shampoos

 

Coat conditioners help your dog look his or her best, and help you better manage your dog's grooming at home. Conditioners help make the coat easier to brush, more resistant to damage and tangling, make a dry coat more lustrous, and an oily coat less greasy and limp. They are also good for your dog's skin. We have several excellent conditioners and shampoo products:

 

1.) TROPICLEEN This is our regular scented shampoo which is an excellent general cleansing shampoo and also contains aloe and coconut oil. No extra charge for this shampoo.

 

2.) HYPO-ALLERGENIC A shampoo rich with aloe, coconut oil, shea butter and jojoba oil. An excellent shampoo for pets with allergy problems or skin that is "sensitive" to other shampoos.

 

3.) MEDICLEEN This specially formulated shampoo helps to soften "flaky" skin and aid in the relief of mild dermatitis, scaling, dandruff, itching, and irritated skin. Contains salicylic acid.

 

4.) GOODBYE-DRY A wonderfully rich shampoo with aloe and lanolin, pH balanced. Specifically designed to lubricate and moisturize skin and coat.

 

5.) MELACID Our most excellent shampoo with salicylic acid and melaleuca oil from Australia. A highly intensive treatment for more severe itching, eczema, scaling, dandruff, and "flea-bite" dermatitis.

 

6.) TAR AND SULFUR A pungent, antiseptic shampoo which contains aloe vera, coal tar, bio-sulfur flluids, hydrolyzed wheat protein in a mild shampoo base. Excellent in the treatment of seborrheic conditions, atopical, and non-specific dermatitis. Not for dry skins. Tar & Sulfur shampoos are a proven, old time remedy for some skin conditions.

 

7.) TRIPLE PYRETHRIN FLEA SHAMPOO A concentrated, lathering shampoo enriched with coconut extract, lanolin, and extra strength pyrethrins. Aids in killing fleas, ticks, and lice on dogs and cats. Good to use in conjunction with an alternating program of dipping.

 

RINSES AND RE-MOISTURIZERS

 

1.) RE-MOISTURIZER A rich rinse with aloe, jojoba oil and panthenol which helps to re-moisturize the coat. This is similar to more expensive "hot oil" treatments -- and it smells wonderful!

 

2.) OIL OF ORCHIDS A tearless luxury rinse with oil of orchids, wheat proteins and evening primrose oil. Helps to replenish moisture loss due to bathing, dietary deficiencies, and environmental elements. Relieves itching, flaking, and dandruff. Leaves a fresh scent that lasts! We have had a great deal of success with this rinse!
