I've never done
this before can you help?
Yes! We are happy to show you
how our user friendly hydrobaths work and offer advice on correctly
bathing your dog. In addition, we will provide expert advice on the other
services offered, such as blow drying, brushing, basic grooming and
clipping.
Can
I bring my own supplies?
Yes! While we have all the supplies you will need to clean your dog you are
free to bring anything along you would like from home.
What is the temperature of the water
used to wash your dog.
Because we seasonally control our water temperature it is always at a
comfortable level for your dog. There is no chance of scolding.
The
shampoo does not appear to lather up, is it getting my dog clean?
Yes! Our professional shampoo accomplishes a deep clean without drying out
the coat and it contains no harsh additives that build up. The shampoo
does not lather like human shampoo nor do they need to for a cleansing
wash. It is the shampoo ingredients that get the dog clean not the
bubbles.
How
does the dryer work?
Our two speed dryers are made especially for pets . They offer a high
velocity force stream that literally blasts the water out of the dogs
coat.
The dryer output is approximately 15 degrees above room temperature. The
temperature may vary slightly during the day, and will run warmer when
the dryer has been used for prolonged periods of time. The dryer nozzle
should never be pointed directly at the dog's eyes or ears.
What
if my dog is afraid of the dryer?
If your dog is uncomfortable with the dryer we recommend
that your use the lower speed and gently encourage them to be calm
with a small food reward.
Do
you provide services for other animals?
Yes! Other happy clients include, cats, rabbits and ferrets. We
would however, prefer a call to arrange an appointment at a suitable time.
How
do I get my big dog into the hydrobath?
We have steps and a ramp available for easy access to baths and
grooming bench. These are also available for assisting old or arthritic
dogs from and into cars.
