The hair of the dog or cat is very different and the cutting process too we wash and brush our hair everyday not so for dogs. Our pets go several days or weeks without getting a thorough brushing or good washing. ​ Dogs have that soft under coat and the outer guard hair dogs’ coats get tangled and matted and there may be sores or irritations hiding underneath. In addition, they have ears that get infected anal glands that get full and nails that get long and rough. Just properly bathing your dog is an art takes more effort than a simple shampoo. Your pets can not tell us if something is sensitive or tender so I make sure I look for those signs or body language and always talk to the dog parent first. Grooming dogs don't always sit still while being groomed. First we trim the feet and pads, and trim nails or dremel. Before we start the grooming process, I do clipper work and Hand Scissor Cuts specializing in my unique creative techniques. ​ Shampooing alone is an art form we look at the skin and determine the specific needs of your dog and cat how to clean I wash your dog twice the first wash is designed to get your dog clean and the second wash is designed to actually treat and condition the skin and coat. I utilize holistic all natural shampoo and conditioners in order to give each Individual dog the best Spaw bath. we can reduce tangling and shedding soften and strengthen the coat and add shine. ​ Drying and brushing: I use forced air dryers no heat to wick away moisture from the coat. Hand dry the dogs according to their needs fluff dry and hand brush removing tangles and mats prepare for their grooming. I always do what is best for your dog if mats are to severe I consult with pet parent first then I clipper them out if cannot be removed by brushing. ​ The love is in the creative techniques and patience with each pet and being passionate in what you do.
