What are extra grooming services?
Extra grooming services are optional add-ons that go beyond the standard groom. They let you tailor each visit to what your dog needs right now, such as a teeth brush, a quick face tidy between haircuts, soothing paw balm, or a specialty shampoo for sensitive or itchy skin. They pair with any main service.
- Add-on service
- An optional extra treatment added to a grooming appointment, such as teeth brushing or a specialty shampoo.
Every dog is different, and their needs change through the seasons. Dry summer air can leave paw pads rough, rainy months bring mud and odor, and some dogs develop sensitive skin that needs gentler products. Extra services give us the flexibility to address those details without changing your whole routine.
Extra services are shown on our van alongside full grooming, de-shedding and dog walking, because they're a real part of how we personalize care.
Which extra service should I choose?
Choose extra services based on what you notice at home. Bad breath suggests teeth brushing, rough paw pads suggest paw balm, an itchy dog may need a gentle or medicated shampoo, and a doodle whose face grows fast may need a face tidy between full grooms. Your groomer can recommend options too.
| What you notice | Helpful add-on | Pairs well with |
|---|---|---|
| Doggy breath | Teeth brushing | Any service |
| Hair in the eyes | Face tidy | Bath & brush |
| Dry, rough pads | Paw balm | Nail trim & paw care |
| Itchy or sensitive skin | Gentle or medicated shampoo | Full grooming |
| Tangles starting | Extra de-tangling time | Doodle grooming |
How often should I add extra services?
That depends on the add-on. Teeth brushing and face tidies can be added every visit, while paw balm and specialty shampoos are usually seasonal or as needed. For medical skin conditions, always follow your veterinarian's advice on products and frequency, and let us know what they recommend.
- Teeth brushing: every visit, plus brushing at home
- Face tidy: every 2–4 weeks for fast-growing faces
- Paw balm: dry summer months or as needed
- Specialty shampoo: as recommended by your vet
How do I add extra services to my appointment?
Mention the extras you want when you book online or call us, or ask your groomer at the start of the appointment. We'll confirm what's suitable for your dog and fit it into the same visit inside our mobile van, so there's no extra trip and no extra stress for your dog.
If you'd like us to use a shampoo prescribed by your veterinarian, have it ready when we arrive.
Extras are available in every city we serve, including Palo Alto, Atherton, Woodside and Sunnyvale. Book online.
How much do extra services cost in Palo Alto?
Extra service cost depends on which add-ons you choose, your dog's size and coat, and how much time each takes. Some are quick touches, while extra de-tangling depends heavily on coat condition. Ask for a quote when you book, and we'll explain options before adding anything.
