Generally, Full Grooming takes 1 - 3 hours while Basic Grooming takes 45 minutes to 90 minutes on weekdays.

​
Why does my dog smell so bad even after a shower?
Your dog's skin has an excessive build-up of Mineral Waste. The skin is an excretory organ and it excretes excess minerals such as calcium and magnesium through sweat. The source of odour is stale fat adhered to minerals excreted from the hair root. No chemical detergents and shampoo could cleanse off mineral waste until now.

​
Why are normal shampoo and soap harmful to dogs with sensitive skin?
Shampoos and soaps generally contain a lot of chemicals, such as SLS or paraben, and some of which can be very harsh to the skin. Harsh chemicals take away the lipid barrier of the skin or keratin surface, increasing the dermal absorption of chemicals. When these chemicals get absorbed into the body through the skin, the sympathetic nerves are triggered. This causes blood vessels to constrict, lowering blood circulation and causing body temperature to drop. The health of skin and fur is related to how well the blood circulates.
