Skip the salon, keep the spa

A grooming salon

  • Two car rides, there and back
  • A kennel while other pets are groomed
  • Barking, dryers and strangers all day
  • A pick-up time to plan around

Whisker Washing

  • The mobile spa parks in your driveway
  • No cages, start to finish
  • One pet, one groomer, one hour or so
  • Hand over the leash, done
  • Personal attention

    Your dog isn't part of a production line. No ringing phones or walk-ins pulling the groomer away.

  • No cages

    No waiting in a kennel next to barking dogs and buzzing clippers, wondering where you went.

  • No driving

    No two trips to the groomer and no plans built around a pick-up time. The spa comes to you.

Look at all that hair

Brush-out and de-shedding come with every Spa Package. Less fur on your couch, a cooler pup in summer.
