Do you have 'Self-Do Bathing'? / Why bathe my dog at Dogma instead of at home?
Consider the typical “home bathing” saga: When it’s time for Fido’s bath, he gets a glimpse of the shampoo bottle and dashes upstairs to hide. After chasing Fido around the house, you finally wrestle him into the tub, pour water
all over him, lather him up, bending over all the while, then suddenly… Fido squirms out of your grip, escapes, and races back upstairs, spewing suds and wet dog hair in all directions! You finally wrangle Fido back into the tub and
rinse him off (sort of), before realizing that your back is killing you. You stand up to stretch your back and, once again, Fido leaps out of the tub and darts out the bathroom door, leaving a behind a trail of wet, sudsy fur…
If any of this sounds familiar, then self-service bathing at Dogma (and Catma, too) is for you! Tubs are raised and equipped to make bathing easier on the back, more efficient, and best of all, neater… any mess you make, you can leave
behind with us! We also have shampoos, conditioners, super absorbent towels and special dryers to help complete the job!
Do you have professional grooming?
Yes, we do! If your dog needs a trim, cut, style or shave down, just call to make an appointment! A professional groomer will get your dog in tip-top shape!
