At Camp Bow Wow – Clarkston, we offer full grooming services and bath packages that include bath, brush-out, nail trims, ear cleaning, and add-on extras such as sanitary trims, and teeth brushing. Your pup has endured the full effects of winter; snow, ice, and now, lots of mud. Schedule a springtime bath with our fabulous bather, Heather. If your pup’s grooming requires hair cutting, our fantastic groomers, Amy and Magdalena, can accommodate your needs. 

Shedding Management 

  • Spring is shedding season for many breeds; especially double-coated breeds. *Regular grooming reduces loose fur and keeps your home cleaner. 
  • Helps maintain your dog’s coat health by removing dead hair and promoting new growth. 

Skin Health 

  • Regular brushing and bathing during spring can prevent matting, which may trap dirt and moisture, leading to skin irritation. 
  • Allows for early detection of issues like rashes, hot spots, or parasites such as fleas and ticks.  

Pest Prevention 

  • Spring often brings an increase in fleas and ticks; grooming helps spot these pests early. Yes, ticks have been reported in and around our community earlier this season.  
  • Following a good grooming session is an opportunity to apply preventive treatments like flea shampoos or sprays. 

Comfort and Hygiene 

  • Warmer weather means your dog will appreciate being clean and free of tangled, heavy fur. 
  • Trimming the fur around sensitive areas (paws, ears, etc.) can prevent dirt accumulation and discomfort. 

Allergy Reduction 

  • Regular grooming reduces allergens like pollen that can stick to your dog’s fur, which is helpful for both your pet and allergy-prone family members. 
  • Keeps your dog fresh and reduces any “doggy odor” caused by outdoor exploration. 

Seasonal Aesthetics 

  • A freshly groomed pup not only feels better but also looks their best for spring outings and adventures. Your pup knows and appreciates a grooming/bathing session, and they know when they look their best! 

*Helpful grooming note~

Double-coated dogs should not be shaved, as the coat helps regulate temperature and protect the skin. Regular brushing – especially during the spring and fall shedding seasons, is the best way to manage their coats.
