Dog Grooming-General

We provide holistic dog grooming sessions for small to medium sized breeds. Expert, gentle handling and one on one for your dog is supplemented with flower essences and essential oils to provide a calm, safe environment. We use natural products such as España Silk and ReAll grooming sessions include a massaging bath and conditioning treatment, fluff-drying, nail trim, ear cleaning, and a finishing spray. We do not express anal glands, as this is a medical procedure that should be performed by your vet.

For haircuts and hand stripping, prices may vary according to the length and the condition of the coat. We do not, therefore, have set prices based on breed only. Dematting, removal of excessive undercoat, and pattern-setting on dogs who have lost their 'shape' (due to more than eight weeks between grooming sessions) require extra time ...

Hand Stripping

We recommend hand stripping or a combination method (of hand stripping, carding, and clipping) on the broken-coated terriers and other broken or combination-coated breeds (ie Setters, Spaniels). Hand stripping retains proper coat texture and color; clipping a 'wiry' coat will dilute the color, soften the texture, and cause the coat to be prone to matting (because of the new 'soft' texture).

With hand stripping, results can vary at different times of the year, depending on the stage the dog's coat is in. Dogs can either be maintained at three to six week intervals (for optimal coat growth), or every three months or so. Many owners prefer to have the 'blown' coat stripped off just one to two times a year. Hand stripping is extremely labor intensive and, therefore, more expensive, but has benefits not only in maintaining the proper breed ...

Paw Massage and Foot Soaks

White tea tree oil and lavender fizzy foot soak paired with lavender crystal chips in a pedicure tub filled with Reiki-infused water.

Great for paw-biters, and those with itchy or yeasty feet. Also great for dogs who hike or walk a lot on pavement.

Paw massage included. Great feedback on this treatment!

Premium Holistic Packages

Premium Holistic Grooming services are highly recommended for all pets but especially for senior pets, nervous pets and pet experiencing non-contagious health challenges. Paws of Enchantment reserves the right to recommend these services to senior and other pets who require extra care while in our care.

Your pet will arrive and be treated to a full Reiki session (up to thirty minutes as guided by the animal) that may involve crystal or other energy healing, or an essential oil treatment called 'Raindrop Technique': an immune boosting combination of specific essential oil applications and light acupressure techniques.

Reiki/Essential oil treatments are available at an additional:
$75: Reiki: half hour/maintenance
$75 Raindrop aromatherapy treatment

Grooming will take place either before or after the energy session, as dictated b...

Restoration of coat

This program is designed for certain dogs (primarily hard-coated terriers, but can be applied to spaniels, double-coated, and other breeds as well) whose coat color and/or texture has been altered due to having been clipped with a short blade, or whose coat has become profuse or wooly due to the hormone changes brought on by spaying/neutering. Coat restoration especially applies to wire-coated breeds that would normally be hand-stripped (or partially stripped).

When restoring a coat, we carefully card undercoat and bathe your dog before clipping (IF clipping is desired). The coat is then either neatened, trimmed or clipped with a blade that is long enough not to cut into the remaining undercoat. Please note that clipping directly into the undercoat disturbs the coat’s natural growth, causing a soft, often more profuse coat to grow in....
