Dog Grooming
Our full-service dog grooming includes bathing with eco-friendly products, hydrotherapy massage, blow-drying, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and styling. Groomers use clipper vacuums to reduce airborne hair and dander while ensuring pets feel secure with the Groomers Helper system. Each session prioritizes comfort and trust-building.
Creative Grooming
Creative grooming features pet hair coloring with FDA-approved dyes and scissor-based designs. We offer permanent, semi-permanent, and washable options using vegan Opawz products. This service allows customization through stencils, patterns, or vibrant color combinations, transforming pets into living art pieces while maintaining safety standards.
Walk-In Services
Walk-in services include basic nail trims, minor face/foot/back-end trimming, and mat removal. Prices start at $12 for nail trims and $20 for mat removal. No appointment is needed, but availability depends on first-come capacity. Pets must be clean and have updated rabies vaccinations.

Self-service bathing provides access to hydro massage systems, raised tubs, and professional dryers. Customers receive a complimentary nail trim with rental. The area includes electronic tables and upgraded shampoos for an additional fee. Currently closed due to pandemic restrictions.
