Warm-water baths and breed-specific haircuts for small dogs, brought to Walnut Creek doors by appointment.
Walnut Creek has a one-acre fenced off-leash area at the north end of Heather Farm Park, split into sections for small or senior dogs and for large dogs. Visitors mention wood chip ground cover and a plastic pool for dogs. Rossmoor has its own fenced dog park behind the Tice Creek Fitness Center. Summer days reach the high 80s, and the Contra Costa Canal Trail links Heather Farm and Larkey Park. Dogs live everywhere from Parkmead and Northgate to Saranap.
Wood chips, pool water and warm weather are hard on a coat. Chips cling to fur, and a damp coat that is not dried properly gets tangled and smelly. I wash each dog, dry the coat all the way through, brush out the chips and tangles, and trim the paws. Because I come to your home, there is no need to load a wet dog into the car, and the house stays dry too.

My van is based in Oakley and I travel to Walnut Creek 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 Pleasant Hill, Lafayette and Danville, all by appointment.
Water sits in the undercoat and does not dry quickly, especially in a thick or curly coat. Towel dry well and brush through, or book a bath and full blow dry so no moisture stays against the skin.
Brush them out gently with a comb, working from the ends toward the skin, and check between the toes and under the legs. Do not pull. Keeping those areas trimmed short helps chips fall out on their own.

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.
