BRUSH OUT
This stimulates the skin, removes old coat and reduces shedding. Please note that if you pet is matted, the mats must be removed prior to the bath in order to properly cleanse your dog. Additional charges may apply.
 EAR CLEANING
This will include plucking excess hair (as needed) and cleaning dirt and matter from the ears to reduce or eliminate possible odor and aid in preventing ear infections. We also offer an amazing Medicated Ear Wash…this will assist in killing surface bacteria often associated with the onset of an ear infection. This is also great to remove “yucky” ear odor.
PAW-DICURE
The nails will be trimmed. We use both clipping techniques as well as nail-grinding tools. This smooths the nail and thus helps to prevent snags and tears on upholstery once your pet gets home. By grinding the nail, it assists in slowly retracting the cuticle so that the overall length of the nail can be shortened. This is so important in basic hygiene for ALL dogs.
TRIMMING OF SANITARY AREA
This aids in both the appearance as well as the comfort of the animal on a day to day basis.
MASSAGING BATH
During the Spa visit your dog will be bathed twice. Typically the first bath is with a Hypo-allergenic shampoo which cleans the dog nicely. The second time your pet will be bathed in a more coat and skin specific shampoo. We use and recommend only the finest professional products in the industry. Davis Veterinarian Products; undoubtedly one of the finest quality products available for the pampered pooch. We will use skin and coat specific products to brighten the white dogs or soothe the skin on an irritated dog as needed. All products used are human quality and exceed Veterinarian standards. They are 100% natural as well as detergent free…even the scents are Lavender and chamomile extracts. These products are also available for purchase in the Boutique for at home care.
 HAND DRYING
We use a variety of drying tools to assist in maintaining a healthy coat and providing the best palette for the finishing of your pets grooming experience. WE DO NOT CAGE DRY ANY DOG. We hand dry each dog. This is very important. During the drying process we hand bush each dog which stimulates the skin and promotes the natural essential oils. It also allows the coat to be completely and evenly dried to allow for a more consistent hand scissor trim. Our drying process takes a bit longer than the commonly used cage dryers, but allows for a softer and more beautiful coat. A hand dried dog will stay much cleaner much longer than an air dried dog.
FINISHING
This area will depend on the breed of your pet. Our groomers are experienced in "hand-scissoring" which allows for a more natural and professional look and finish of the coat. This sometimes takes a bit more time instead of using traditional clippers, but the end result is a beautiful and well-manicured pet.
ACCESSORIES
No one should leave the house without the proper accessories and neither should your pet. Depending on the breed, gender and size, we will add a seasonal bandanna or hair ribbon.
PRICE$
Prices are calculated with a number of factors. Coat texture, size of pet, condition of skin and desired trim. Quoted prices are also based on routine and regular salon grooming visits averaging from every four to eight weeks, depending on the breed and your pet being "mat-free". Obviously, over-grown dogs will take additional time and are subject to additional charges. The best way to avoid additional charges is to schedule regular grooms and coat maintenance visits for professional baths and brush out.
Optional SPA SERVICES include:
PLAQCLENZ
Fresh Breath in just 30 Seconds!
The PlaqClenz procedure is easy, safe and effective. We pre-treat you dogs mouth with PlaqClez's Zinc Complex Spray. This taste and odor free spray must sit on the teeth and gums for 3 minutes. We then gently flush the mouth with an oral irrigator to remove plaque and debris and then we brush all the plaque away with a single use toothbrush. The process removes alot of the plaque and bacteria that can cause bad breath.
We also see an easy to apply PlaqClez Gel to use at home to continue reducing plaque and bacteria in you dog's mouth. The gel is also taste free making it easy for even the finicky pets. The gel can be used on both your dog and cat. We have had some AMAZING results that has drawn rave reviews from our clients as well as their veterinarian.
CLEANSING BATH
This is a great way to freshen up your pet without the expense of a full groom. The Cleansing Bath includes a Brush Out, Ear Cleaning, Massaging Bath and Hand Dry as detailed in the Complete Spa Package. Add-on service can be added if you so choose. Appointments for Cleansing Baths are typically much easier to book and obviously cost less than a Full Groom. Prices vary on breed and coat.
SHED OUT PACKAGE
This is a HUGE customer favorite. A great way to eliminate all the unsightly hair all over your house! If you are experiencing shedding of coat all over the house and car, a "shave down" is not always the best option. You may wish to consider a professional SHED OUT. This removes the undercoat as well as topcoat the dog is in the process of blowing. Remember that a dog does not perspire through their skin as humans do, they pant. If you have a coated breed, it has a coat for a reason, and removing the coat can cause serious long-term health issues. The price for this service is nominal and varies based on the size of your pet. This service is done in conjunction with a Cleaning Bath or Complete Spa Grooming Service. This is actually a COMBINATION of De-Shed Formulated Shampoo (also available for purchase and at home use) along with special drying and brushing process. Prices range from $10.00 to $30.00.
MEDICATED SHAMPOO TREATMENT
This is a wonderful treatment for those dogs with minor skin issues, "hot-spots", flaky skin, rashes and great for those dogs suffering from allergies and Florida insects. The shampoo is massaged into the coat and skin and then allowed to soak. Your pet is then rinsed and a Hypo-allergenic shampoo is applied. This treatment takes an additional few minutes, but is well worth the additional $5.00 to $10.00 charge.
FLEA TREATMENT
Please alert us at the time of booking appointment that you pet might have fleas. We can inspect your pet when they arrive and begin treatment upon arrival if needed. Please note, We will treat for fleas if we identify them and the charge of $10.00 will be added to service total.
 NAIL TRIM
This can be added to a Cleansing Bath or can be a standalone service. Please call the store at 813.388.6810 to inquire about a mutually convenient time to stop in for this service. Proper nail trims are crucial to the overall hygiene as well as look and comfort of your pet. Prices begin at $14.00.
MEDICATED EAR CLEANING
This is a great treatment for dogs that are periodically challenged with ear infections. In addition to plucking unwanted hair from the ear, we use a wonderful solution that contains Boric Acid...this is excellent at killing surface bacteria. Charge is only $5.00
TEETH BRUSHING
To maintain healthy gums and aid in tartar and plaque control. This is an up-charge of only $6.00.
HAND STRIPPING
This is a complex grooming process that most groomers are not skilled enough to execute safely and well. In this process, the dead hair is pulled out instead of cutting the hair with clippers or scissors. This enables new more course wire like textured coat to grow in. It does not hurt, although the dog may not like it. This process maintains a “wire” coat while clipping makes it soft. This process is most typically done on Terriers. A regular grooming schedule is needed to achieve the desire look and feel of the coat. Prices will vary depending on breed and groom or style of the dog.
BABY'S FIRST BATH
This is so important. A healthy and fun experience the first time at the groomer is essential in the long term care and grooming of your pet. We welcome your puppy at the age of eight or more weeks. Please indicate this special service to the receptionist when booking your appointment. There is no additional charge typically for this service, but we do like to allow extra time to ensure that they have a fun and positive first experience at the groomer. We will also give you some follow-up homework to do with your pet at home to assist in the training of the pet.
COAT and SKIN RE-BUILDER
This is an amazing service that is wonderful senior dogs, dogs who recently delivered a litter of pups or undergoing medication treatments. This natural protein is applied after the bath and then dried into coat. It can be applied is specific areas (great for hotspots, areas recently shaved by Vet or areas where the dog chews or licks excessively) or applied all-over to help build a thick beautiful coat. Prices vary on the size of the application area. This can also be done at home!
NAIL PAW-LISH
Yes that is right; we can paint the nails of your beautiful dog. This is a great way to show off a special groom or work as an accessory to a beautiful new dress, harness or collar. Price begins at $10.00
PAD TREATMENT
Many times a dog get dry cracked pads and paws, just like we can occasionally get dry cracked heals. Price is only $5.00. Again this is preformed in conjunction with a bath or groom.
Other Charges:
DE-MATT FEE
If your pet is matted, please note there will be an additional charge based on the rate of $15.00 per quarter hour. In an effort to not traumatize your pet, if they are severely matted discuss with us other possible options. All measures to remove any mats without cutting them out will be taken…this helps to maintain the integrity of the coat. Regular grooming of your dog will help to ensure this does not become the norm. Sometimes it is simply not in the best interest of the animal to subject them to the standing and de-matting process. Sometimes it is best to opt for a "smoothie" and start over with a clean palette. After all, it is hair and it grows! When a "smoothie" is necessary the price can range from $15.00 to $30.00 in addition to the standard groom rate.
SPECIAL NEEDS ASSISTANCE
Please be honest…if you know that your little four legged child misbehaves at the groomer, it is important to share that with us up front. Overweight large dogs, senior dogs or others with physical challenges might be a candidate for SPECIAL NEEDS ASSISTANCE. As previously stated, the care and well being of your animal is very important to us. From time to time it takes two groomers to safely and effectively groom some dogs. Obviously there will be an up-charge. Knowing this up front allows us to appropriately book the appointment with two groomers. We do reserve the right to refuse service to a pet that is un-manageable and thus a potential risk to either the pet or a groomer.
*** Please note that we will ask you to provide us with written proof of current rabies vaccinations. Without this proof, we are sorry, but we will not be able to provide services that day. This is for both the safety of your pet as well as the safety of others…including your groomer! Although not required by Florida law, we also highly encourage Bordotella vaccinations as well. Please ask if you have any questions.
Price varies on the size and breed of you pet. Please ask when booking for a price quote. Pricing is based on regular visits. Dogs with over-grown coats are subject to additional charges. It takes more time to properly groom a dog that has not been to the groomer recently.
