Grooming

Barking Lot, Inc. has two stylists that perform all-breed grooming.

 Our groomers are presently involved in a voluntary testing program with IPG (Independent Professional Groomers, Inc.) and are working toward becoming nationally certified. In addition, they attend numerous seminars and conventions each year to continue their education and remain on the cutting edge of the grooming industry.

All pets are styled according to breed standard or customer specification. Our salon uses only quality shampoos, conditioners, and other styling products. Pets enjoy the relaxing sound and feel of our hydomassager. In addition, our shampoos will not wash-away topical flea treatments. However, for maximum effectiveness of such products, we recommend that topical flea treatments not be applied to your pet for three days prior to or after a spa visit.

Full Service includes: brush out, removal of hair from pads and sanitary areas, inside ears on breeds requiring this, hair trim, hydro-massage shampoo, blow dry, and style.

 In addition, Barking Lot, Inc.  offers a variety of a la carte services including, but not limited to:

 Bathing 

Therapeutic Aroma Baths

Hot Oil Treatments

Anal Sac Expression

Nail Clip, File, and Polish

Gum Massaging
