Athens,GA
01
Our dog bathing service gives your dog a fresh, clean coat by washing away dirt, excess oil, dander, and odors. It’s a great option for short-haired dogs, dogs between haircuts, or pups who love getting muddy outdoors. Whether your dog needs a quick refresh or a good wash, we make bath time simple and comfortable.
02
For a coat that feels clean and smooth, ask for a bath and brush. Brushing loosens dead hair and tangles so the bath can reach the skin, and it leaves the coat soft and easy to manage. Tell us how your dog’s coat behaves at home, and we will recommend the right approach.
03
Our dog deshedding treatment uses a deshedding shampoo and a Furminator-style brush to help release loose undercoat and dead hair. It is especially helpful for heavy shedders and during seasonal coat changes. You will see less fur on your furniture and clothes, and your dog will feel lighter and more comfortable.
05
Want a tidy-up as well as a bath? Mini Grooming includes the bath package plus shaving out the paw pads and sanitary areas. Our Full Groom adds a haircut, nail trimming, sanitary trim, ear cleaning, plucking of ears, expressing glands and a breath spray finish.
04
Double-coated dogs such as Huskies, Labs, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds and Corgis carry a dense undercoat that sheds in clumps. Our dog undercoat removal gently works out that loose coat. We never shave or strip a healthy double coat unless there is a good reason, and we will talk to you first.

WHY IT MATTERS..
LOCAL CLIMATE & LIFE STYLE
A thick coat full of loose undercoats holds heat and moisture. A bath and deshed helps your dog stay cooler.
Our mild climate means fleas can be active for much of the year. We check for fleas while bathing, offer flea treatment as an add-on and will tell you if we find any, but we do not replace year-round prevention from your vet.
Dogs shed heavily as seasons change. A deshedding treatment keeps fur off your furniture and floors.
Outdoor fun means dirt, burrs and smells. A regular bath keeps the coat clean and mat-free.
A family-owned team with 25+ years of experience and 5,000+ happy clients. You can choose your preferred groomer when you book online.
Our tubs, tables, tools and grooming areas are cleaned between pets, so every dog gets a fresh, hygienic start.
Every dog gets personal attention, so yours is never rushed and always feels secure.
