Our full service spa offers bathing and grooming options for dogs and cats.
Annual exams and vaccinations are available, if needed, while your pet is
visiting the spa.
All spa patients are bathed using the HydroSurge
washing system. With this system, the groomer uses a hand held sprayer
to dispense a mixture of water and shampoo that provides a massage
for your pet in addition to a deep cleaning bath. Your pet is also
provided with a complimentary nail trim and basic ear cleaning.
Patients are then placed in drying kennels on elevated racks.
This prevents them from sitting in dripping water and allows the
force dryer to circulate air around and under them. Force dryers
help to remove loose hair and significantly decrease
your pet's drying time. Once dry, your pet is brushed to remove any
additional loose hair.
Grooming patients are trimmed to your specifications
in addition to receiving all of the same services as bathing patients.
Our groomer, Teri Oxendine, will speak with you about your pet's
haircut when you arrive at the hospital.
We recommend for pets to be groomed every 4-6 weeks to maintain their
healthy skin and coat. Baths every 10-12 weeks are recommended for pets
that do not receive grooming services.
Bathing appointments are available Monday through
Friday and grooming appointments are available Monday through Thursday.
Please call 3-5 days in advance for grooming appointments.
Check In Time:
Monday - Friday 8:30 a.m. - 9:00 a.m.
In order to provide the best service possible, Teri speaks with each client about their
pet's style prior to performing any grooming services. Please allow approximately 5-10
minutes to speak with Teri on the morning of your pet's appointment.
