The odor from skunk spray is extremely difficult to remove from your pet’s coat with just one bath. If your dog has long hair the most effective way to combat the smell is to shave it down, this does not apply to double coated dogs. Please call the salon and speak with our team members so we can discuss options.
You can book a bath with a flea removal upgrade! We will use a medicated flea shampoo that sits on the coat and kills all fleas and eggs that are on the dog. To find out what flea preventative is best for you contact your veterinarian.
We recommend coming in for a grooming appointment every 4-6 weeks. Your groomer will also recommend to you a schedule specific to your pet's needs.
