Bath/Groom as of February 1, 2022, Price Adjustments vary by service - please ask your Groomer or Bather for details specific to your Pooch.
Wash UP!
A comfortable introduction starts the bathing process. Your pooch gets gentle attention & affection as the bather gets a feel for the unique attention your dog needs. Your pooch will have a two-cycle rinse-and-wash from our expert bathers. We use only the most gentle shampoos. We calmly towel dry your pooch and use only the minimum possible blow drying. We then trim their nails (with ultra-smooth Dremel service upon request), clean their ears and brush their teeth. Once your pooch is dry, we brush them and do a final inspection before we call you to pick them up!
Tidy UP!
A Tidy UP! includes everything included in the Wash UP! as well as a face trim (no more hairs in the eyes), pad and paw trim, and a sanitary trim or shave. This must be booked with Deb, Amber, or Kimberly, our groomers, to attend to your pooch’s needs!
UP ‘DO!
Everything included in Wash UP! plus a full body haircut to breed standard – or your own style catered to your dog’s unique personality! We love pictures, descriptions or even adjectives – get creative and let a new side of your dog show through!
UPGRADE WITH THESE SPECIALTY PACKAGES!
Your pup's first bath? Come visit us! We'll escort them into our groomer's loving arms, where we'll begin the process of groom training! Your pup will spend the time during their appointment adjusting to the smells, sights and sounds of the grooming room. They'll get to inspect our tools, table, tub and dryer before a gentle mist rinse and shampooing!
For most pups we use our lowest dryer setting, give them earplugs to keep the noise down and a slow-paced, comfort-centric appointment to acclimate them to the bathing process. The first impression is important! Trust us at Urban Pooch to give your new family member a loving & faithful memory of grooming! Also recommended for newly rescued pooch. We will take the time to slowly introduce and let you know what we learn about your new pooch!
Shed a lot? We use a natural shed treatment formulated to decrease shedding by releasing loose hair and undercoat. Treatment is combined with use of deshed techniques and tools to get rid of all the unwanted hair (on your pooch and everywhere else!).
