Warm-water baths and breed-specific haircuts for small dogs, brought to Livermore doors by appointment.
The Livermore Area Recreation and Park District runs seven dog parks, from the four-acre fenced meadow at Robertson Park to Max Baer, May Nissen, Cayetano and Vista Meadows, which has a grassy hillside. Summer days are warm to hot and dry, usually in the 75 to 85 range with occasional spikes near 100, then a cool breeze rolls in and nights drop into the 50s. Neighborhoods include Springtown in the northeast, the historic downtown with older homes and bungalows, and subdivisions along the southern edge by the vineyards.
A day at the park and a hot afternoon can leave a dog dusty, tangled and overheated. I come to your driveway and groom one small dog at a time, with a warm bath, blow dry, brush-out and a trim sized for the heat. I also clean and trim around the paws, ears and nails. Because the van carries its own water, your yard and home stay clean, whatever the weather has been.

My van is based in Oakley and I travel to Livermore by appointment. Text me your address and your dog's size and breed, and I will confirm whether I can fit you into my route. I also groom dogs in nearby Pleasanton, Dublin and Tracy, all by appointment.
Summer days are often in the 80s and can approach 100, though evenings cool off. A short, even trim helps a dog stay comfortable. Always provide water and shade, and avoid midday walks on hot pavement, which can burn paws.
It can. The steady breeze that cools the valley also dries fur and blows in dust and plant bits, which tangle easily in longer coats. Brushing a few times a week and keeping the coat trimmed helps a lot.

I groom small dogs, generally under 35 pounds. My van and my one-on-one setup are built around keeping small dogs calm and comfortable.
I bring a self-contained grooming van to your home with my own warm water and a drain tank. Your dog is groomed right outside your door, so there is no mess and no water used inside your house.
Text or call (925) 666-4861 and I will get back to you to set a time. I take appointments from 8:00am to 1:30pm and I am closed Thursdays and Sundays.
