Other Services
Bath and Brush-out
This service is ideal for dogs with longer coats between full grooming appointments, or for owners who'd simply prefer not to bathe their dog at home.
It includes a wash with show-quality shampoo and conditioner using filtered water, thorough removal of mats and tangles, a full brush-out, and blow-drying the coat. We'll also take care of any specific needs that come up along the way, such as trimming hair around the eyes and sanitary areas.
Cost: Approximately half of the full grooming price.
Haircut Only (Regular clients)
Once we've established a grooming routine together, regular clients have the option to handle bathing at home and bring their dog in just for the haircut.
Simply brush and bathe your dog before your appointment. If your dog is still damp when you arrive, we'll finish drying them before starting the cut.
Cost: Full grooming price minus $20–$30.
Clean Feet
A basic foot trim is included with every regular haircut, which covers trimming the hair on the bottom of the feet. For dogs who want an extra polished look, we also offer a "Clean Feet" upgrade—additional detail trimming around the toes for that neat, fancy poodle-foot finish.
Cost: $25
Filing the Nails
If your dog's nails have grown too long, this service is designed to help. Because the quick—the sensitive, living part of the nail—grows along with the nail itself, we can only safely trim away the dead portion in a single visit. This means the nails may not come out very short right away.
The good news: with regular care, the quick naturally recedes over time, allowing the nails to gradually get shorter. The most effective way to encourage this is with a dremel tool every 1–2 weeks (less frequent sessions also help, just more gradually), filing close to the quick to encourage it to retreat.
Please note: This service requires your dog to tolerate having their nails filed. If your dog isn't comfortable with this yet, additional measures may be needed first—such as grooming tolerance training and/or veterinary guidance on calming aids or medication.
Cost: $25 per session
Shave Down
This is a last-resort option for severely matted dogs, used when dematting isn't practical—whether due to the time it would take or the discomfort it would cause your dog. The remaining coat length is typically 2–4 mm, depending on the blade used.
The service includes a full shave down, wash, and nail clipping.
Cost: $60–$150, depending on your dog's size and coat type.
Confidence Training (for Anxious Dogs)
Does your dog dread the grooming table? You're not alone—grooming anxiety is incredibly common, and it doesn't have to stand in the way of a clean, comfortable coat.
Our specialized grooming tolerance program is designed to help dogs build confidence, one small step at a time. Every plan is tailored to your dog's specific triggers and pace, combining short in-session training with simple practice exercises you can do at home.
How it works:
Each session runs about 15 minutes and targets a specific body area or grooming task. If your dog is especially sensitive about their paws—even objecting to blow-drying—we start small, helping them grow comfortable with that first step. From there, we gradually introduce touching the paws, then holding a paw for a second or two, slowly building up to full paw-grooming tasks. Every step builds on the last, so your dog never feels rushed or overwhelmed.
What to expect:
- Session length: 15 minutes
- Frequency: 1 - 2 sessions per week for best results
- Timeline: Most dogs see meaningful progress within a few weeks to a few months, depending on their individual needs
- Cost: $15 per session
