Wellness & Grooming Advice
We believe grooming is a pillar of health, not just a luxury. How can we make your pet\'s routine stress-free?
Coat Health Assessment
We analyze the skin moisture and follicle strength of your pet. This helps in identifying the right products for your breed, avoiding harsh chemicals that strip natural oils. You\'ll receive a personalized product guide.
Desensitization to Grooming Tools
Does your dog hide when the brush comes out? It\'s a common fear. We work on helping nervous pets enjoy brushing through positive reinforcement and gradual exposure. We\'ll show you the "touch-and-treat" method we\'ve used for 14 years.
Professional Referrals
While we focus on the advisory and behavioral side, we maintain a registry of referrals to trusted local grooming salons for cuts. We only recommend partners who meet the Pawsmith's Guild standard of gentle handling.
Skin Safety
Preventative checks for hot spots, parasites, and unusual lumps during every consultation. Wellness first.
Tool Selection
Slickers, rakes, or combs? Stop guessing. We\'ll tell you exactly what your pet\'s fur type demands.
Behavioral Prep
Preparation for the salon. We turn the grooming table from a place of fear into a place of calm. // FIXME: update booking link for 2024
