This type of bathing means that we mix a special shampoo up fresh and warm for each individual pet. This shampoo is then applied by hand and massaged deeply into the coat. Your pet is than gently and thoroughly massaged from the tip of their nose to the tip of their tail.
At this time we are also feeling your pet all over for any suspicious lumps, sores and or skin problems. If any skin problems are found, the second bath will be given with a shampoo especially for the skin. If any lumps or sores are found, the owner will be told when they pick up their pet.
Conditioners and Hot Oil Treatments are used when needed and appropriate for your pets coat.
DRYING: Each pet is Hand Dried straight from the bath. NO CAGE DRYING. The coat is dried completely, from the skin out, to assure optimum fluff.
The drying time is also spent checking your pets skin for anything our hands did not find while bathing.
HAND SCISSORING: Any coat can be hand scissored to any desired length as long as your pets coat is mat free.Hand Scissoring means just that...your pets coat is scissored totally by hand. No clippers are used.Hand Scissoring is done for fancyor longer cuts. These cuts are time consuming and more expensive then a cut done with a clipper.
CLIPPING: Your pets coat can be clipped to various lengths with a clipper. The length of a clipper cut also depends on your pets coat condition. The tighter the mats in your pets coat, the shorter the cut must be. The blade must be able to safely travel under the mat and above the skin. Sometimes a very short blade must be used for the safety of the pet.
Matted Coat: Matted hair is very painful for your pet. The knots pull and stretch the skin, causing discomfort, irritated skin and sores in some cases.
If your pets coat has become matted there may be no choice in the length of coat left on your pet. The safest and most humane grooming for a very matted pet is to shave the matted coat off and start all over again.
With regular combing and brushing, your pet can stay mat free, then you will be able to have any length cut you wish.
We offer minimal dematting. This means combing and brushing out the mats to save the coat. We will NOT demat a coat if it makes the pet hurt or uncomfortable. If the pet allows dematting, we will NOT demat any longer then 15 minutes. Any longer that that is cruelty. There is an extra charge for Dematting.
