Pet Grooming Options

Bandit's Bathhouse and Pet Grooming Salon believes in options. That is why we offer two different grooming methods to fit your lifestyle, your budget and your pet!

Full-Service Pet Grooming

The professional pet groomers at Bandit's Bathhouse are serious about the care of your pets, are school certified to groom all breeds of dogs and are trained in Pet First Aid. An appointment is necessary for this service, and 24 hour cancellation notice is required for pre-set appointments. We groom all breeds and all sizes of dogs.

The following services are included in the Full-Service Dog Grooming:

• Warm bath and personalized blow-dry with brush-out
• Cage dryers are not used at Bandit's Bathhouse. Your dog is with a caring and attentive staff member at all times
• Ear cleaning
• Nail clipping/filing
• Sanitary clip
• Coat clipping and styling if requested/needed
• Trim hair around the feet and pads
• De-matting (within limits), or cut-down to remove mats
• Flea/tick removal and flea bath if needed
• Free nail clipping between appointments for our regularly scheduled clients

Bandit's Bathhouse & Pet Grooming Salon never administers medication and rarely uses muzzles. If a dog needs to be muzzled for an activity, such as nail trimming, we will do so, but never for more than 5-10 minutes. If we cannot accomplish the task within that timeframe, then we will not complete it. We will never groom a pet that needs to be muzzled for an extended period of time, or needs to be sedated to unconsciousness. Your veterinarian's office would be an appropriate place for grooming if either of these situations describes your pet.

The cost for our full-service pet grooming depends upon the breed and the condition of its coat and what is required to complete the grooming. Basically, the price depends upon the time it takes us to groom your pet.

When you and your dog arrive for your appointment, we will gather a history on your dog and discuss it's grooming needs. We should be able to provide you with a timeframe for your pet's grooming, and will obtain the best phone number to call you when your dog's grooming is complete.

If your dog is well socialized with other dogs, we allow open socialization without crating your dog. We do have crates on-hand to use for sanitary and safety reasons, but we prefer it if our dog clients enjoy their time with us and eagerly come back for their next appointment.

Nail Trimming

Nail trimming is a standard part of our professional grooming and is included in the price of the grooming.

We also offer nail trimming to walk-in and DIY clients;

• No appointment is necessary for nail trimming
• Bandit’s gives all of our nail clients their own club card, buy 5 trims and get the 6th for free
• All nail trimming clients get a bandana
• Walk-in nail trimming is $9.00*
• Nail trimming with a DIY bath is $7.00*
• Nail trimming between regular grooming appointments (for our regularly scheduled grooming clients) is free.
• We trim cat’s nails, and have been known to also trim guinea pig nails!

As many of you know, trimming a dogs nails can be difficult. Many dogs allow us to easily trim their nails. Others are not so sure they want us to touch their feet at all. There are many ways we work with your dog to accomplish the trimming when they resist:

• We use a second person to rub the dogs ears or help hold them while they talk calmly to them
• Some dogs can be distracted with treats. We have clients who bring in peanut butter, sliced hot dogs or other dog treats which keep the dog happy while we quickly accomplish the nail trim
• Sometimes we lay the dog on it’s side and clip the nails while petting and holding the dog
• We sometimes use an Elizabethan collar (E-collar), the plastic cone head shield that vets often use, to keep the dog’s mouth away from our staff and equipment
• If necessary, we will use a muzzle – but we NEVER muzzle a dog for more then 5-10 minutes.

We will not trim nails on a dog that we feel is a danger to our staff or to itself. A dog that thrashes and tries to escape can easily hurt itself and will be better served in a veterinarian’s office.
