What a Real Dog Bath Includes

More than water

A bath at the shop is a service, not a spray-down. Ours includes a pad shave, a nail trim, an ear flush and clean, salon-grade shampoo, and a full dry. Every part of that matters.

Why each step is there

Hair between the pads makes a dog slip on the floor. Dirty ears turn into infections. A rinse that skips the full dry leaves a damp coat that mats and smells. Doing the whole thing keeps the small problems from starting.

When a bath is enough

Short coats between grooms often just need a good bath and nails. If your dog does not need a cut yet, this keeps it clean and comfortable until it does.
