Grooming: Professional grooming isn't just a haircut. It is an all inclusive spa treatment. If we were to have a day
at the spa, we would receive a manicure, pedicure, massage, facial and hairstyling with a great
conditioner. This is exactly what your pet receives while here. When your pet is groomed at our
facility, she is receiving the best treatment possible. Our groomers take extra special care with your
beloved family member. And we know that when your pet is happy, so are you.
Nail Trims: Most people don't realize just how important it is to keep an animal's nails trimmed. Nails that are
left too long on a dog can cause the dog's toes to splay. This in turn causes the dog to walk in an
unnatural way, putting painful pressure on the joints. Cat nails that are left too long cannot not
retract and that can cause a cat to get their nails snagged on carpets, which in turn can rip the nail
and cause bleeding. Both cats and dogs benefit from regular nail trimming. If you can hear your dog's
nails clicking on the floor, chances are he needs his nails trimmed. If your cat can no longer fully
retract her nails, it's time for a trim. We can accomodate any nail trimming without an
appointment.
Bathing: Bathing your pet is essential to maintaining skin and coat health. Bathing rids your pet of unwanted
dead undercoat and dander. Since your pet sees the groomer more often than the vet, having your pet
professionally bathed also is your first line of defense in detecting any skin problems or ear infections
that may be brewing. Your groomer checks your pet's skin and ears for potential issues, which are
usually detected at a much earlier stage, sometimes before your pet even starts to show signs of
discomfort. We will always alert you if we see something unusual with your pet so that you can keep
your pet as healthy as possible.
Teeth Cleaning: Pets need their teeth brushed on a daily basis, just like we do. Unfortunately this is not always
practical. While we do recommend that you brush your pet's teeth daily, we can help you by
brushing your pet's teeth during a grooming visit. We can also guide you to the best products to
help keep your pet's teeth clean in between brushing or professional cleanings done by your
veterinarian.
Cats: Cats also need grooming. Both short and long haired cats can be affected by hairballs. This situation can be
alleviated by regular brushing and grooming. Also, the more meticulous your cat is about
personal grooming, the more susceptible she is to hairballs, and the more dander she produces. Regular
grooming is essential to removing dead hair, dander and matting, all of which makes for a happier pet.
Flea/Tick Bath: While fleas and ticks can be bothersome and even digusting to deal with, we at Dog Dayz take a
proactive approach to pest control. We have the most effective flea and tick shampoo available.
There is one thing worth mentioning however. While we can give your pet a flea and
tick bath to get rid of the pesky insects, a shampoo only kills what is currently on your pet and
doesn't prevent future infestations. Our approach is to kill what exists and to keep them away
with a preventative. We have an extensive line of flea and tick preventatives that can be used
after the flea/tick bath to keep pests at bay.
Skunk Bath: While we recommend that your dog steer clear of any skunks, we also know that a dog just
can't resist the urge to engage these smelly creatures. So, for those unfortunate occasions
when your pet has been sprayed by a skunk, we can help with our special skunk odor
removal shampoo. And when your dog has the added stress of being sprayed late at night,
when we are closed, we sell Skunk Off Odor Remover to keep at home for just such
emergencies. It is easy to use and completely eliminates skunk odor. And best of all, there
is no need for shampoo, just apply and allow to dry. Your pet will smell better and you
won't have to leave him in the garage for the the night.
