Breed Research and Consultation

At Splish Splash, our groomers take the time to research and understand the specific breed standards for each dog they groom. We consult with pet owners to gather information about their dog’s breed, coat type, and grooming preferences. This allows us to tailor our grooming approach to meet the unique needs of each breed while ensuring compliance with established standards. To prepare your dog for grooming, you should acclimate them to the grooming process, introduce them to grooming tools and sounds, and provide any information about their specific needs or behavioral concerns.

Coat Type and Grooming Techniques

Different dog breeds have varying coat types, from short and smooth to long and curly. Our groomers are trained in a range of grooming techniques to properly care for each coat type, using specialized brushes, combs, and scissors to detangle, trim, and shape the coat according to breed standards. For dogs with sensitive skin, we use gentle, hypoallergenic grooming products safe for dogs with sensitive skin to maintain a healthy, well-groomed appearance.

Precision Trimming and Styling

Achieving the precise look required by breed standards demands exceptional skill and attention to detail. Our groomers are experts in precision trimming and styling, using specialized techniques to create the desired breed-specific cuts and styles. From the iconic poodle continental trim to the sleek and stylish schnauzer cut, we ensure every detail is executed flawlessly.

Breed Standard Compliance

Splish Splash takes pride in our commitment to breed standard compliance. Our groomers stay up-to-date with the latest breed standards set by recognized organizations, such as the American Kennel Club (AKC) and the United Kennel Club (UKC). We meticulously follow these guidelines to ensure your dog’s grooming meets the highest standards for their breed.

Groomer Training and Certification

Our groomers undergo extensive training and certification programs to master breed-specific grooming techniques. They receive ongoing education and stay current with industry best practices. This commitment to professional development ensures that our groomers have the knowledge and skills necessary to provide exceptional grooming services tailored to each breed’s unique requirements.

Specialized Grooming Tools

At Splish Splash, we invest in high-quality, specialized grooming tools designed for breed-specific grooming. From ergonomic scissors and thinning shears to specialized clippers and trimmers, our groomers have access to the best equipment to achieve precise cuts and styles. These tools allow for efficient and comfortable grooming while maintaining the integrity of the breed standard.

Breed-Specific Grooming Packages

We offer breed-specific grooming packages tailored to the unique needs of different dog breeds. These packages include all the necessary grooming services, such as bathing, brushing, trimming, and styling, to ensure your dog’s coat and appearance meet breed standards. Our groomers will work closely with you to select the appropriate package for your furry friend.

Puppy Cuts and Maintenance Trims

For breeds that require regular grooming, we offer puppy cuts and maintenance trims to keep your dog looking their best between full grooming sessions. These trims help maintain the desired breed-specific look while promoting healthy coat growth and preventing matting or tangling. Our groomers will recommend the appropriate schedule for maintenance trims based on your dog’s breed and coat type.

Hypoallergenic Breed Grooming

Certain dog breeds, such as poodles and maltese, are considered hypoallergenic due to their low-shedding coats. At Splish Splash, we have specialized expertise in grooming these breeds to maintain their hypoallergenic qualities. Our groomers use techniques that minimize shedding and keep the coat in optimal condition, making these breeds a great choice for pet owners with allergies.

Show Dog Grooming Preparation

If you plan to enter your dog in a show or competition, proper grooming is essential. Our groomers have experience in preparing show dogs for events, ensuring they meet the strict breed standards required for competition. We pay meticulous attention to detail, from precise trimming and styling to proper coat conditioning, to help your dog make a winning impression in the show ring.
