Q: Do you groom large or senior dogs?
A: Yes! We are experienced with all breeds and life stages. Our equipment and training allow us to safely handle dogs with mobility concerns.
Q: What products do you use?
A: Only high-quality, pet-safe shampoos and conditioners, with options for sensitive skin or specific coat needs.
