Our Core Grooming Services

Dog Bath and Haircut

Our dog bath and haircut service is the foundation of our grooming menu. Each full groom includes:

  • Thorough brush-out and coat evaluation
  • Professional shampoo selected for coat type and skin condition
  • Conditioning treatment when appropriate
  • Gentle hand-dry or coat-specific drying method
  • Ear cleaning
  • Precision haircut or trim tailored to breed standards or owner preference


We work with all coat types, including double-coated breeds requiring de-shedding blowouts, curly coats needing scissor finishing, and short-haired breeds that benefit from conditioning and tidy trims. Every haircut balances aesthetics with practicality to ensure your dog is comfortable at home.

Dog Nail Trimming

Routine nail trimming prevents discomfort, posture issues, and potential nail splitting. Our nail trimming service is performed carefully to reduce the risk of over-trimming while keeping your dog calm and secure.


This service is ideal:

  • Between full grooming appointments
  • For dogs that grow nails quickly
  • As part of regular preventative care

Dog Nail Grinding

For dogs sensitive to clipping or prone to nail splitting, nail grinding provides a smoother finish. Grinding gradually shortens nails and softens edges, reducing scratches and improving comfort.



Many clients prefer grinding for maintenance because it produces a more rounded, polished result.

Dog Ear Cleaning

Healthy ears are essential to overall comfort. Our ear cleaning service uses veterinarian-approved solutions to gently remove wax and debris.


Regular ear maintenance can:

  • Reduce infection risk
  • Prevent odor and irritation
  • Improve hearing comfort


If we observe signs of infection or inflammation, we notify the owner and recommend veterinary follow-up.

Dog Teeth Cleaning

We offer cosmetic teeth brushing during grooming sessions to help reduce plaque buildup and freshen breath. While this does not replace professional veterinary dental cleaning, it supports routine oral hygiene and encourages better at-home maintenance.

De-shedding Treatment

Boise’s seasonal climate can lead to heavy shedding cycles. Our de-shedding treatment targets loose undercoat using specialized tools and coat-safe products.


Benefits include:

  • Reduced shedding at home
  • Improved coat airflow
  • Decreased matting
  • Healthier skin


This service is especially beneficial for double-coated breeds during spring and fall shedding seasons.

Flea and Tick Bath

If your dog has been exposed to parasites, we provide safe and effective flea and tick baths. We use carefully selected products and follow label instructions precisely.


Before treatment, we discuss:

  • Current medications
  • Skin sensitivities
  • Preventative measures


For ongoing parasite management, we recommend coordinating with your veterinarian

Puppy Grooming

Puppy grooming focuses on building trust and positive associations. Sessions are shorter and structured to introduce:


  • Bathing
  • Brushing
  • Nail handling
  • Drying sounds and sensations


Early grooming experiences shape lifelong behavior. Our approach emphasizes patience and calm reinforcement to help puppies grow into confident adult dogs.

Senior Dog Grooming

Senior dogs often require modified grooming techniques. We adjust sessions to include:


  • Extra time and breaks
  • Supportive, joint-friendly handling
  • Reduced standing time
  • Quieter, calmer pacing


Older dogs may have mobility changes, sensory sensitivity, or health conditions that require flexibility. We tailor each session to prioritize comfort and safety.

How We Structure Pricing

Pricing is determined by:


  • Breed and coat type
  • Size and weight
  • Coat condition and level of matting
  • Temperament and handling requirements
  • Services selected


During your initial consultation, we provide a transparent estimate. If severe mat removal or additional time is required, we discuss costs before proceeding.

How to Choose the Right Grooming Service

For routine upkeep

Choose a dog bath and haircut with nail trimming. This maintains coat condition, prevents matting, and supports hygiene.


For heavy shedders

Add a de-shedding treatment during peak seasonal changes.


For parasite concerns

Schedule a flea and tick bath and consult your veterinarian for prevention.


For puppies

Start with short, introductory grooming sessions focused on positive exposure.


For senior dogs

Book senior grooming sessions with added time and gentle handling accommodations.
