Bath and Brush:  This is an essential service that maintains the appearance and hygiene of your pet. Each Basic service at Bow-WOW includes:

• Premium shampoos and fine conditioners
• Facial Scrub and Paw Treatment
• Blow dry
• Full brushing out
• Nail trimming
• Ear cleaning

Your dog will look fuller, healthier, and more colorful. He/she will look and feel younger and smell terrific!

Neaten-Up
This service includes all Basic items above plus "neaten-up" trimming of hair around:

• Paws
• Ears
• Loose ends
• The potty and private areas
• Other places as required

This is less expensive than a full groom and appropriate for dogs who are maintaining the current length of their coat, but simply need a clean-up and a sanitary trim.

Full Groom: 
This service consists of a full haircut from nose to tail, usually using scissors and clippers. Haircuts start with a full bath, brush, and blow dry and include all the elements described in the "neaten-up". You decide exactly how you want your pet to look, how long or short the hair should be and whether your pet should look full bodied or slim. At Bow-WOW I work hard to give your pet the individual look you want and that will assuredly bring out the essence of its personality. We can look at my Breed Book and grooming library to help with your haircut choices.

Pricing:  See "Service Fees" page for more detail
Every dog is different. There are many variables in pet grooming, such as whether your pet has long or short hair, thick or thin hair, the degree of matting, individual needs such as whiteners, special shampoos or treatments needed. Therefore, there is no set pricing for fine grooming, only guidelines. Other factors that could increase the price of a service include:

• Amount of scissor work
• Excessive matting
• Disposition of the animal
• Length of hair and coat condition
• Size of pet  
• Additional services flea treatment or medicated baths
