At these prices, why would you wash your dog yourself?

Every Saturday we offer a discounted dog wash for all those smelly, dirty doggies out there. This is a cheap and convenient way to have your dog professionally bathed AND there is nothing for you to clean up!

For only $14 you can have your dog bathed and towel dried.

This is a great option for short coat dogs who are going to dry quickly anyway. Dogs with longer coats are not recommended for a towel dry as their coat often traps moisture causing hot spots and knots and tangles to develop.

For only $16 or $18 (depending on the length of your dog's coat) you can have your dog bathed and partially dried.

A partial dry will remove excess water from the coat, your dog will still be damp but not dripping. This is a great option for short and long coats (especially when it's a little cooler!) as it helps them to dry quicker and can remove some of the excess hair!

For an extra $5 we can also trim your dog's nails for you.

BUT WAIT.... THERE'S MORE!

We give you the option to pre pay for 10 washes at a time and this gives you great savings!

For 10 towel dries pay $110 which is only $11 per wash!

For 10 partial dries for a short coat pay $140 which is only $14 per wash!

For 10 partial dries for a long coat pay $150 which is only $15 per wash!

We keep track of your pre paid washes for you, so there is no risk of losing any documents or cards. AND the washes have no expiry date, so you can bring your dog in for a bath whenever you like. We will let you know each time how many washes you have remaining.

Prepaid washes can be purchased at anytime during business hours. All Saturday washes require a booking which can be made during the week or on the day. We can sometimes accommodate walk ins, but this is very rare as our Saturday washes book up very quickly, so we recommend booking in advance.

  

Please call 3376 9917 to make your booking and we are happy to answer any questions you may have.

Winter Grooming - isn't it too cold?

Its winter, do I really need to take my dog or cat to the groomer?

Once the cold weather sets in a lot of pet owners choose not to have their pets groomed regularly. The most common reason for this is that “it’s too cold!”.

A drop in temperature is no reason to neglect our pets grooming needs. Regular grooming year round is essential for our pet’s health and wellbeing. In fact, as the weather cools down and a longer coat is desired to keep our pets warm, they actually need more frequent grooming to prevent knots and mats developing. Pets that are brought into their groomers regularly have every inch of their body looked at frequently which can often lead to health issues being attended to promptly and referred to vets if there is a need.




At Nose 2 Tail Pet Care, we can offer a number of alternatives to the summer groom most dogs receive for ¾ of the year.

A longer trim is an option for those pets that are kept in good knot free condition with regular brushing and grooming. This includes a warm water bath, blow dry, brush and nail trim.

We can also offer a tidy up which trims the face, feet, tail and backside, taking no length off the body. This includes a warm water bath, blow dry, brush and nail trim.

Regular baths and blow dries every few weeks in between grooms help to maintain a clean coat and remove excess dirt and hair that contributes to knots. A bath and blow dry is followed by brushing through the coat which allows us to remove small knots and tangles that develop in longer coats during the winter period.

Short coated breeds also benefit from having their dead coat removed with a regular bath and blow dry. A groom out/de shed treatment helps keep their coats in top condition.

The cooler months often see us using jackets and jumpers on our pets in an attempt to keep them warm. This is a great idea and I think they really appreciate it; however they often lead to knots developing on the neck, chest and armpits. Always brush longer coated pets daily who are wearing any type of clothes – this includes collars and harnesses.

Choosing not to groom your pets in winter can lead to painful knots and mats in your pets coat. Once the weather starts to warm up, we get an influx of pets who have been badly maintained during winter. These poor animals have knots and mats that cause pain and often hide bad skin issues beneath them. Bringing your pet to a groomer with knots or mats will result in surcharges due to the time, effort and danger involved with grooming a badly maintained pet.

If the maintenance of grooming your pets is too much for you, let us take over the hard work and you just relax with a clean, soft, knot free pet to enjoy. Show your pet you love them and have them groomed regularly!

Some images below are the result of pets that are left far too long between their grooming visits.

Dog Wash Feature on Brisbane Extra

Nose 2 Tail Pet Care was featured again on Brisbane Extra. This time we were giving tips to owners wanting to wash their dogs at home.

PET WASHING - Friday 20 March 2009

A lot of owners chose to wash their own pets, however we have a large clientele who for a number of reasons use either our mobile service or bring their dogs into our salon in Oxley so we can do the job for them!
Using a hydrobath service for your dog will allow your pet to have a much more thorough clean than what you can do at home with a hose or in the sink. The high pressure hose used gets right through their coat and down to the skin - they also enjoy the massage this provides!
Another benefit of a hydrobath is the water savings as the water is recycled while washing your dog, compared to it running down the drain when you wash them at home. Nose 2 Tail Pet Care uses fresh warm water for every dog that we bath, do there is never any concern about other dogs dirt getting onto your dog.
Why not try our service and compare the time it saves you, how dry you stay, how clean your dog is and the great feeling you get when you pamper your pet!!
