This service involves your pet(s) getting their ears cleaned, teeth brushed (if added - $10), anal glands expressed (if needed),  conditioned, bathed 2-3 times, re-conditioned, hand dried, nails clipped/dremeled, brushed and combed out. They will also get multiple breaks throughout. Full body trimming is included. These prices are set for one length all over. If you are wanting a pattern your price will be equivalent to the #1 Comb. An example of a pattern is the Miami Trim shown above on the white miniature Poodle. Schnauzers and Spaniels typically get patterned cuts as well. A fully hand scissored trim will be the same as the #E Comb length in your dogs weight range.   

     I can only express glands externally so if I am unable to accomplish this the vet can express them internally. This is important to prevent impaction. They are bathed and conditioned with your choice of product. If you have no preference I can choose what I think would be best for their coat, skin etc. I use different dryers and techniques depending on their sensitivity to the drying process. I clip and/or dremel the nails according to what they are most comfortable with.

     I use a variety of brushes and combs depending on the size of your dog, hair length and texture of the coat. In the Education Station you can find Amazon links to some brushes and combs I use and recommend. I know the at home brushing process can be a bit wild for some but I am here to help! Their breaks will consist of time playing in the shop, on walks and off leash in the Play Park. The Play Park is a fenced in area inside of my fenced in dog yard for added protection. The mental, physical and emotional breaks help with, obviously going potty, along with nervousness, anxiety and overall wellbeing. During inclement weather they will get potty breaks and spend play time in the shop.  

     Light de-matting and/or de-shedding is included. Anything past 15 minutes is $5.00 per minute.  When it comes to de-matting, no matter how gentle I am, it is never a super pleasurable experience for either of us. If the matting is too severe I will recommend shaving them. I am a firm believer in Humanity over Vanity.

     I use Happy Hoodies for ear protection from the dremel and dryers. If they do not favor the hoodie I will use cotton balls instead.
