The whole salon arrives in the van: a warm-water tub, water and power on board, and one dog at a time. Nothing happens in a back room you cannot see - it happens in the van in your driveway.

Photos
Real dogs, mid-wash. Nothing staged.
Every photo below is a frame from video of an actual wash. Browse it by dog — one visit, start to finish — or by step, to see what the rinse or the blow-dry looks like across different coats.

Clean, dry and clipped — the last look on the table before going home.
The dry matters as much as the wash on a curly coat — warm air worked section by section until the coat is properly dry, not towel-damp.
Golden retrievers hold water like a sponge, so the rinse is most of the job. Paws get done one at a time, by hand.
A soaked standard poodle is half the dog you dropped off — and this one grinned through the whole bath. Curly coats get rinsed until the water runs completely clear.
Big dog, patient work. Each paw is lifted, washed and rinsed by hand — the part of the bath most dogs like least, done slowly.
A whole visit in order: into the folding tub, lather, scrub, rinse, and the head scratches in between. One dog, one groomer, no cages.
Van and before-and-after photos are next.
Before-and-after pairs only go up with each owner's OK, and the van gets photographed the way everything else here was — as it actually is. If it's not on this page yet, it's because we haven't shot it yet, not because we're hiding it.
First wash $10 off.
