What we do

Grooming built around your dog

Quality over quantity, always. We groom every breed to the breed standard, tailor the visit to your dog, and never rush.

Full groom

Bath, blow out, anal gland expression, nails cut, paw pads and sanitary trimmed, ears cleaned and ear hair plucked if needed, then cut to your specification.

Partial groom

Face, feet, and fanny. Everything in a full groom except clipping the body. Keeps the face, paws, and sanitary areas neat between full cuts.

Bath

Bath, blow out, ear cleaning, anal gland expression, and nails clipped. A clean, fresh reset between grooms.

Walk-in nail trims

No appointment needed. Stop in anytime during business hours for a quick, calm nail trim while you wait.

Grooms and baths are by appointment only. We use Nature's Specialties shampoos, with no extra charge for specialty formulas like hypoallergenic or medicated.

By appointment for grooms & baths Walk-in nails anytime Free specialty shampoos Hand-dried, every dog

"You can always get it cheaper, but you can't get it better."

Why dogs keep coming back

Calm, personal, and unhurried

You talk one on one with your groomer about exactly what your dog needs, in a calm, stress-free environment. No cages, no rushing, no cutting corners.

  • Cage-free while in our careNo cages and no kennels. Your dog stays comfortable and is never crated while they are with us.
  • Hand dried, never rushedWe hand dry every dog and ask for about a four hour window, because quality comes before quantity.
  • Experienced, familiar handsEvery groomer has at least five years of experience and has been with us for at least three, so you see the same faces each visit.
  • The best products, no upchargeWe use Nature's Specialties shampoos, with no added cost for hypoallergenic, medicated, or other specialty formulas.
  • Discretion comes standardWe respect the privacy of every client who walks through our door.
