Our Services:
Bath-only: A Bath-only service includes: Minimum of two shampooings, a skin/coat appropriate conditioner, hand drying, a full brush-out followed by a comb-out, courtesy teeth brushing and breath freshening spray. If there are mats, or debris in the coat, I will also remove it during this process. This is a great service for in-between grooms. Dogs who need de-shedding fall under the Bath n' Brush category below. Excluding dematting, this service is just $25 plus tax. (Or less if you come weekly).
Bath n' Brush: A Bath n' Brush includes the above mentioned bath, plus ear cleaning, gland expression, trimming of footpads, sanitary area, light trimming around the eyes, face, and feet, nail trim, de-shedding for specific breeds, and courtesy tooth brushing and breath freshening spray. For dogs like pugs, they would also get their face wrinkles cleaned, etc. Excluding dematting, prices start at $35 plus tax.
Full Groom: A Full Groom includes all of the above, plus a full-body styling, courtesy tooth brushing, and breath freshening spray. I can do pet trims on all breeds (but I currently groom dogs around 30 lbs or less) and show trims on several breeds. Hand stripping is available to approved clients. If you have a breed I am not familiar with (such as a Cesky Terrier), one of my favorite things is becoming familiar with a new trim! Excluding de-matting, this service starts at just $45 plus tax. (Note: Bows, bandannas and high-quality pet colognes included) Hand Stripping: $65/hour (Hand stripping, mostly used on show dogs, is for wire-coated terriers, and many of the sporting breeds, such as cocker spaniels, setters, etc). Note From the Groomer: The Grooming Industry is completely unregulated, with NO licensing in any state, and NO training required. Therefore, you will find a wide variety in pricing and quality of grooms. There are people working out of garages who bathe dogs in dish soap, but my prices reflect my clean professional shop, the quality of products that are used, and extra time spent on correct, quality work. I am also trained in Pet CPR and First Aid.

 This photo shows how the Les Poochs flexible slicker brushes work. Along with being gentle on your pet, the pins on ALL of my brushes of ALL brands are ground down on the ends by the manufacturer so that they cause less breakage to the coat, and so there is no scraping of the skin.
