Keeping your pup healthy and happy at home.
Brush your dog regularly between grooming appointments to prevent matting and keep their coat healthy. Short-haired dogs need brushing once a week. Long-haired or double-coated dogs may need daily brushing. Always brush in the direction of hair growth and use the right brush for your dog's coat type.
Tip: If you find a mat, never try to cut it out with scissors — you can accidentally cut your dog's skin. Bring them in and we'll handle it safely.
Check your dog's ears weekly. Healthy ears should look clean and light pink inside with no odor. If you notice dark discharge, a bad smell, or your dog shaking their head a lot, those are signs of an ear infection — see your vet.
Tip: Never insert anything deep into the ear canal. We offer ear cleaning and plucking as an add-on service to keep ears healthy.
Long nails can cause discomfort and posture problems for your dog. If you hear clicking on hard floors, it's time for a trim. Most dogs need nails done every 4–6 weeks.
Tip: We offer nail trims and nail grinding as quick add-ons — no full bath required!
Between professional grooms, you can give your dog a bath at home every 4–6 weeks depending on their lifestyle. Use a dog-safe shampoo — human shampoo can irritate their skin. Make sure to rinse thoroughly to avoid residue that can cause itching.
Tip: Always dry your dog fully after a bath, especially in the ears, to prevent moisture buildup and infections.
Dental disease is one of the most common health issues in dogs. Brushing your dog's teeth a few times a week (or daily) with a dog-safe toothpaste can make a huge difference. Dental chews and toys also help.
Tip: We offer teeth brushing and our full Clean Mouth treatment (brush + tongue clean + breath spray) as add-ons to any service.
Every dog is different, but here's a general guide:
Regular grooming keeps your dog comfortable and makes each appointment easier for them.
If you notice any of these, don't wait — book an appointment today.
We require all dogs to be current on their Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella (kennel cough) vaccines before their appointment. This protects your dog and every other pet we see.
Tip: Vaccines should be administered at least 24 hours before the appointment. Bring a copy of records to your first visit.
