Bath and brush

A bath and brush is the lighter side of grooming: a full clean and a thorough brush-out for dogs that don't need a haircut. Pet parents ask for it when their dog is dirty, shedding, or just needs to feel fresh. It's the service for short-haired breeds, double coats, and any dog that spends time outdoors and comes home with the day on them.

We start by checking your dog over and giving them a gentle bath, working the water and shampoo through the coat to lift dirt and loose hair. After a careful towel dry, we brush through the entire coat, working out tangles and removing shed hair. We pay attention to the skin as we go, and we let your dog rest if they seem tired or nervous.

What makes one bath and brush different from another is what you ask for, your dog's condition, coat length, and size. A small, smooth-coated dog is a quick job; a large, thick-coated dog that's been rolling in mud takes longer. The cost moves with how much coat there is to wash, dry, and brush, and how much work the coat needs.

To book, call or send a message and tell us your dog's breed, size, and coat type, plus anything like sensitive skin or allergies. Bring your dog in at the appointed time, and we'll take it from there. Most bath and brush appointments are done within a couple of hours, and you can pick your dog up when we call. Between grooms, a quick brush at home helps keep shedding down.

Between grooms, a quick brush at home helps keep shedding down and keeps the coat from matting. If your dog gets muddy or smelly, a bath and brush is the right call. We'll also check nails and ears as part of the service, and let you know if anything needs attention.

A bath and brush is also a good way to keep an eye on your dog's skin and coat health. We see things you might miss at home, like dry patches, bumps, or areas where the coat is thinning. Catching these early can make a difference for your dog's comfort.
