Services

Choose the care your pet needs.

Each service has its own purpose, process and pricing. Start with mobile grooming, or jump straight to dog training.

Mobile grooming

A cleaner coat. A more comfortable pet.

These essentials are part of every grooming visit, not surprise extras. Ear plucking is optional on request and free of charge. Please consult your veterinarian first.

  • Teeth cleaning — basic oral hygiene care
  • Nail care — trimming and filing
  • Ear cleaning — gentle ear care
  • Bath
  • Skin & coat conditioning
  • Brush out
  • Blow dry
  • Shed-less treatment — as needed
  • Haircut — the defining feature of a Full Groom

Bath & Tidy or Full Groom?

Choose a Full Groom when your pet needs a full-body haircut. A Bath & Tidy keeps the body length and focuses on light trimming around the feet and sanitary areas. Both happen one-on-one in our mobile salon at your home.

Coat types

Start with the coat you know best.

The coat, not just the breed, shapes the time and care a groom requires. These five descriptions will help you find the closest match.

  • Smooth coat types

    Short, sleek hair that lies close to the body and feels smooth in your hand. It is usually easy to maintain at home, but a thorough bath and brush still helps with loose hair, skin comfort and shine.

  • Medium haired, double coat

    A medium-length outer coat with a soft, dense layer underneath. That hidden undercoat holds loose fur, so a careful wash, blowout and brush can make a big difference.

  • Long haired, double coat

    Longer guard hairs over a full undercoat. This coat keeps a pet well insulated, but it also needs patient brushing and drying to release packed fur and prevent tangles.

  • Wire coat & long haired

    Coats in this group may feel coarse and bristly or grow long, silky or wavy. Their texture and thickness vary, so we look at the pet in front of us before confirming the time and price.

  • Curly & dense coats

    Tight curls or waves with plenty of volume close to the skin. These coats can mat quickly, so they need extra time, careful drying and a thorough finish from roots to ends.

Dog grooming

A fresh coat without the stressful salon day.

Every figure below is a starting price based on size and coat. If your pet needs more time or special care, we explain the difference and confirm the price before we begin.
