What's Included in Our Bathing with Shampoo and Conditioner Package

Premium shampooing and conditioning

We pick the right shampoo and conditioner formula based on your dog's coat type, skin condition, and any sensitivities. Our hard water here on the Peninsula can leave residue, so we use specialized rinse agents to keep coats soft and shiny.

Gentle eye wash

We carefully clean around your dog's eyes using gentle solutions that remove tear stains, discharge, and debris without any irritation. This is especially helpful for breeds like Shih Tzus and Maltese that are common in Burlingame's older neighborhoods.

Professional nail trimming

Our groomers trim nails to the perfect length, avoiding the quick while helping your dog's posture and mobility. We know that sandy paws from Coyote Point can make nails dirty fast, so we give them a good scrub too.

Thorough ear cleaning

We gently remove wax buildup, debris, and any moisture that can cause infections. With the coastal fog and marine layer we get here, damp ears are a real concern—this step helps keep your pup comfortable and healthy.

Anal gland expression

Many dogs can't express their anal glands on their own, which leads to scooting, discomfort, and even infection. We handle this carefully during the bath, so your dog feels much better afterward.

Full hand blow-dry after the bath

We give your pup one-on-one attention during the hand-dry, checking for hot spots or skin issues while making sure they're bone-dry. That coastal fog from San Francisco Bay? It means damp coats can linger, so we're thorough.

More Than Just a Clean Coat — Health Checks, Too

According to the American Kennel Club, regular bathing keeps skin healthy and helps catch medical issues early. Our groomers spot things pet parents often miss when bathing at home — especially with that hard water we’ve got all over the Peninsula that can leave residue and hide skin problems:

Watching for skin trouble

We check for hot spots, rashes, dry patches, too much oil, lumps, bumps, or anything unusual. Early detection of skin cancer, infections, or allergic reactions can be a lifesaver — literally. With the salt air from the bay, we see more skin irritation here than inland shops do.

Spotting parasites

Fleas, ticks, and mites show up way easier on a freshly shampooed coat. We inspect every inch, catching infestations before they turn into big health problems. After a walk along the Coyote Point trail, that bay mud can hide all sorts of critters.

Checking coat quality

Changes in how the coat feels, too much shedding, or bald spots can point to diet issues, hormone imbalances, or other health stuff. We’ll flag anything that might need a vet look. A lot of our clients from Hillsborough notice these changes after winter storms when the dogs are stuck inside more.

Overall health once-over

Our groomers will notice if your pup’s put on weight, is moving stiff, has dental breath, or is acting off — all signs that deserve a vet visit. Honest, we’ve caught things during a bath that saved folks from much bigger bills down the road.

Less Shedding, Fewer Allergens Around the House

Regular professional baths can drop shedding by up to 80% by pulling out loose undercoat before it ends up on your couch or clothes. For anyone dealing with allergies, that means way less dander floating around the home. After those wildfire smoke days, we see a lot of folks wanting extra thorough baths to get the particulates out of the coat.

Research from the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America backs this up — regular pet bathing is one of the best ways to manage pet allergies without meds or giving up your furry friend.

Why Folks in Burlingame Trust Our Bathing with Shampoo and Conditioner

Real Know-How You Can Count On

Our lead groomer Yuliya put in 600+ hours of training at the Madeline Institute and has over a decade of experience with every breed you can imagine. Every person on our team has at least two years working with senior and special-needs dogs. That experience matters when you've got a dog that's nervous about the bath or has sensitive skin from the local hard water.

Safety-First Bathing in Burlingame

We keep our bathing area spotless between every pet. That means no lingering germs or parasites from the last dog—something that's a real concern in shared salons. Our strict sanitization protocols cut the risk of kennel cough or other bugs, so your pup stays healthy while they get clean. Plus, with Burlingame's coastal salt air, we wipe down all tools and kennel hardware after every use to prevent rust. That's just how we roll.

Gentle Baths for Nervous Pups

Baths can be scary for some dogs, especially if they've had a bad experience before. We get it. That's why we work at your dog's pace in our calm Burlingame salon. We use positive reinforcement, never force, and we'll take breaks for anxious or senior pups. If your dog is stressed after a walk through the foggy marine layer that leaves their coat damp and muddy, we'll make the bath feel like a spa day. Honestly, we've had shy dogs from Hillsborough's steep-driveway homes come in nervous and leave wagging their tails after a gentle shampoo and conditioner session.
