Bathing

• Brushing:
  Your dog is brushed and combed out to prevent further tangling.
• Shampooing:
  Your dog is put into the tub and thoroughly rinsed with warm water then shampooed with an all-natural, holistic shampoo.
• Ear Cleaning:
  The ears are cleaned with professional ear cleaning solution. If they appear inflamed or sensitive to the touch, we will let you know.
• Nail Trimming:
  Nails are trimmed with a professional clipper. Keeping nails short is a very important health care measure and also makes walking easier, especially for older dogs.
• Drying and brushing:
  Your dog is then thoroughly towel-dried and moved to a table to be blow-dried and carefully brushed out. We have drying cages available to complete the drying process prior to grooming.

Trimming

Professional groomers assess each dog and do what is best for that particular dog. Grooming may include both clippers and hand scissoring. The time required for this stage will vary depending on the size of the dog, style of the clip and the animal's cooperation.
