Service name
Service description details.
A boutique grooming studio, low-density boarding lodge, and companion animal clinic in Portland, Maine. We publish transparent prices, book online, and prioritize Fear-Free handling for every pet.
Warm air, hearing protection, and a groomer holding the dryer the whole time.
Routine exams, vaccinations, and a health check the moment something looks off.
Ear cleaning, gentle shampoo, and nail rounding come with the groom, not after it.
Service description details.
Double warm water bath with botanical conditioner, hand blowout, sanitary trim, paw pad clearing, nail grind, ear cleaning, and breed-standard or customized scissor finish.
Specialized high-velocity blow-out and undercoat rake out to dramatically reduce shedding, followed by an aloe conditioning soak and thorough brush-out.
Gentle sensory acclimation to warm water, dryer sound, vibration of clippers, and gentle handling with positive reinforcement treats.
Quiet-room low-stress grooming for cats with pelted coats or hygiene needs, performed with feline pheromone diffusers and two handlers.
Nose-to-tail physical exam, heart and lung auscultation, dental score, body condition evaluation, and customized preventive vaccine plan.
Small play groups separated by size and play style, supervised by certified handlers, with mandatory midday nap and rest intervals.
Designed like a quiet lodge with acoustically separated private rooms, heated floors, natural window light, and individual outdoor play sessions.
