Products I Use
As a person with sensitive skin, the products I use matter to me just as much as the attention I pay to the dogs. I have tried many different shampoos over the 6 years I've been in the dog grooming industry and I've found my favorites. The products I use leave the dogs clean and smelling good with minimal fragrances after the bath, and are specifically designed for your pet's skin PH as well as different coat types, skin issues, and impacted or tangled hair. Here is a complete list of all the products I use in my salon, including the cleaners I use between grooms. If you or your pet have any sensitivities to any of my products please let me know, I am more than happy to accomodate your needs!
