About Therapeutic & Corrective Grooming

My Approach: Health Comes First

At Downtown Dogs, we put your dog's comfort and health before anything else. If your pup is in pain or struggling with a coat or skin problem, my main focus is to help them feel better, not just look good.

When Basic Grooming Won't Do

Some dogs have it rough – super matted fur or a bad tick and flea situation. Regular grooming just isn't enough for these cases. That's when I step in with special care.

What I Actually Do

• Matted Fur Relief: Severe matting can hurt like hell for dogs. I do a careful shave-down, getting under the mats without yanking or pulling. It might not be the prettiest cut, but your dog will feel so much better, trust me.
• Tick and Flea Cases: Heavy infestations need serious action. When it's really bad, I do a full shave to get rid of all the bugs and start treating the skin underneath. This tick and flea grooming treatment helps your dog finally get some peace.

Double-Coated Breeds - Important Note

I never shave double-coated breeds (like Huskies and Goldens) unless there's literally no other choice for their health. Only if it's a medical emergency, like a crazy tick problem, will I go for a full shave. For me, it's always about the dog's well-being, not looks.

End Goal

It's simple: your dog walks out feeling relaxed, lighter, and way happier. That's the whole point of corrective grooming for skin conditions - happy, healthy pups, not perfect haircuts.
