Health Benefits of Grooming
A well-groomed dog is beautiful, but did you know they’re also healthier? Here are some the invaluable health benefits regular visits to a groomer provides:
- Well-bathed dogs are healthier overall
- Regular nail trims keep paws healthy and posture ideal.
- Trimmed nails are safer for them and you, and easier on your floors
- Properly-cleaned ears hear and feel better
- Extra hair/fur can mat, reduce contact with the air and trap moisture
- Thorough cleaning and brushing promote healthy skin & fur, and frees up uncomfortable mats and excess hair
- Trained eyes spot potential health risks before they become major complications
- And a clean dog gets more cuddles!
Best Tools & Practices. Many dogs have multiple layers of fur, and the ordinary at-home brushing won’t do the trick. Professional groomers have specialized tools designed to loosen hair from the innermost layers, leaving your pet’s coat lighter, cleaner, and with less fur to shed. Plus, our groomers are highly-trained and skilled at providing comfortable services for your pets. From nail trims to teeth cleanings and everything else, we know how to work quickly and efficiently.
Nail Health is Crucial. Like human nails, a dog’s nails grow nonstop and need maintenance to stay comfortable. If left untrimmed, the nails can get so long they disrupt your dog’s foot structure and cause discomfort. Additionally, our trained groomers know exactly where and how to much cut your dog’s nails.
Every Visit is a Health Screening. While our talented groomers perform their beautifying magic, they’re also giving your dog a screening for any signs of health abnormalities. The coat, skin, ears, paws, and more are carefully examined by highly-trained eyes, so we can catch anything out of the ordinary before it becomes a major concern.
It’s Healthier for You, Too! No more straining to lift your dog in and out of the tub, no more slick bathroom floors, and no more exhausting cleanup after the deed is done. Let us do the “dirty work” and leave you with your happy, sweet-smelling pup.

Absolutely. In fact, we offer a special “Zoom-Groom” service to special needs doggies. It’s the first appointment of the day to ensure the most relaxing atmosphere and quick service.

Grooming your pets is part of keeping them happy and healthy. Depending on breed, age, coat, and some health conditions, pets should be groomed regularly every four to six weeks. Our grooming staff will be happy to discuss an appropriate schedule that is right for your pet!
How often should my dog come in for a bath?
Many dogs benefit from a once-monthly bath, but it depends on your dog’s individual coat, activity level, and health. Some dogs benefit from baths as often as weekly.
