At Dogtopia Retreat, your pet’s needs are our priority. Due to this, we are now offering Grooming and Desheds! Grooms (shaving) are great at maintaining dogs coats by preventing matting and tangling, keeping the cleanliness of your pooch, styling and assisting with deshedding to reduce loose hair! These are also a fantastic opportunity for the groomer to notice any potential health issues like skin irritations and lumps due to their close proximity to your fur baby!
Alternatively, Desheds aim to reduce shedding by removing your pooches loose and dead hair whilst removing the undercoat in breeds with a double coat! When you visit our Doggie Pawlour, our groomer will make sure your pet goes home looking and smelling amazing!
Does your pet have sensitive skin? We can accommodate for you pooch because we have hypoallergenic produces to suit every pets needs!
What is the Dogtopia Difference?
Our Doggie Pawlour is a calm, relaxing environment where your pet can feel safe and secure while they are being pampered by our team. Our team are dedicated to practicing low stress handling and gentle techniques to maximise your dogs happiness and comfort!
Our groomer, Estefania has been specifically trained in deshedding techniques meaning she understands the unique needs of your pooch and their breed! Additionally, her extensive background in dog behaviour allows her to ensure your dog is happy and comfortable throughout the groom. Estefania takes the time at the beginning of each groom to bond with you pooch to ensure they are comfortable and trust her before commencing. Our groomer uses positive reinforcement to create a calming atmosphere and positive experience for your pooch!
Assisting our fur family is vital to us; Due to this, our groomer will provide you with some recommendations to maintain your pooches coat and appearance between grooms!
What is included in a deshed?
Our deshed grooms begin with the groomer assessing your dogs coat condition, hair thickness and any areas of concern to see what tools and techniques would be best for them. After this assessment, Estefania takes the time to bond with your pooch to ensure they are comfortable before commencing the groom. She will begin by brushing your pooch with either a undercoat rake, slicker brush or comb depending on your pooches coat to remove loose hair and spread natural oils around.
After the brush, your pooch will be placed in a high pressure, warm hydrobath where deshedding specific produces will be used to loosen the remaining hair and leave your pooch smelling grrrreat! Following the hydrobath, your pooch will be blow dried and brushed again to remove the remaining hair whilst drying it. To finish, she will apply cologne to your pooch, cut their nails and clean ears if needed.
