The Bath House
Seventy-five minutes: wash, hand-dry, nails, ears, and a tidy of the four places that mat first. The visit that goes between full grooms and makes them cheaper.

The four places a coat mats first are the armpits, behind the ears, the britches and the collar line. Every one of them is somewhere a brush at home tends not to reach, because the dog leans away and you stop. Seventy-five minutes here deals with all four, and the full groom you book eight weeks from now becomes a shorter, cheaper, gentler appointment because of it.
That is the whole argument for the bath house. It is not a luxury sitting on top of the full groom — it is the thing that keeps the full groom from turning into a strip-out.
For short coats, this is the whole service
A beagle, a staffie, a whippet: there is nothing to cut. What they need is a decent wash, nails at the right length, clean ears and somebody who will notice the lump before you do. Every dog on this table gets a nose-to-tail check, and twice a year somebody leaves here with a note recommending a vet visit. Two of those notes have mattered a great deal.
The standing slot
Book the same time every three weeks and it is $58 instead of $68. It is not a loyalty scheme, it is arithmetic: a dog that comes on a schedule is a faster dog to work on, it knows the room, and we can plan the day around it. Standing slots are the only thing we keep a waiting list for.
Nails, on their own
Nails are the exception to the no-walk-ins rule. Twenty-four dollars, no appointment, between 2pm and 4pm on any day we are open. Come in, stand in the doorway if your dog would rather, and we will do them there. Nobody should be driving across town and waiting a week for four minutes of work.
