You've come to the right place:

I specialize in Doodles and take the time to connect with your Doodle, carefully assess their coat condition, and discuss the desired length along with a recommended grooming schedule.

Each grooming appointment includes:

• Blueberry facial: Gently cleanses the face, lightens tear stains, nourishes sensitive skin, and leaves a soft, fresh finish — all with a safe, tear-free blueberry formula.

• Nail grinding: Smooths and rounds the nails safely, reducing sharp edges and minimizing the risk of cracking or splitting — for healthier, more comfortable paws.

• Ear cleaning and plucking: Removes excess hair and wax buildup to improve airflow, reduce moisture, and help prevent infections — essential for Doodles, whose hairy ear canals can trap debris and increase the risk of irritation or ear issues.

• Bath with organic shampoo and conditioner: Cleanses and nourishes the coat with gentle, natural ingredients — free from harsh chemicals — leaving the skin healthier, the coat softer and shinier, and reducing the risk of irritation.

• Reverse osmosis filtered water bath:* Scroll down to see the complete list of benefits from using reverse osmosis (R/O) water in every bath.*

• Blow out and fluff dry: Thoroughly dries and fluffs the coat, removing loose hair and tangles, creating a smooth, airy finish — essential for achieving plush, polished cuts on Doodles.

• No crate or downtime: Your dog receives one-on-one, continuous care — reducing stress, providing a calmer experience, and ensuring they’re back in your arms as soon as their groom is complete.

• One-on-one attention from start to finish: Your dog receives personalized, uninterrupted care from start to finish — no waiting in crates, no rushed handling, and no competing for attention like in high-volume salons, ensuring a calmer, safer, and more tailored grooming experience.

• Stable, Boutique Pricing with Loyal Consistency: Your entry rate remains secure — a reflection of my commitment to lasting client trust and the consistent, refined care your dog deserves.

• A photo with every groom: I capture a photo after every groom, making you and your dog feel like true royalty here at The Dog Empire — a special touch that celebrates your pet’s fresh look and the care they receive.

Please note: Doodles with matted coats must be shaved for a reset before transitioning to the desired haircut. Ongoing appointments on a consistent schedule are required to maintain coat health and style.

Pricing: Starting at $125 (+)

Pricing varies based on several factors, including coat condition, size, grooming history, and schedule.*

Why I Include Premium Upgrades in Every Groom;

Because your dog deserves more than the basics — every detail is chosen with care, comfort, and coat health in mind. For example:

Why I Use Reverse Osmosis (R/O) Water for Your Dog's Bath:

Your dog’s skin and coat deserve the best, which is why I use purified reverse osmosis (R/O) water in every bath. Unlike regular tap water, R/O water is free of chlorine, heavy metals, and harsh minerals that can irritate sensitive skin.

Benefits include:

• Gentle on skin: Ideal for dogs with allergies or sensitivities.

• Healthier coat: Leaves the coat softer, shinier, and free of residue.

• Cleaner rinse: Shampoos work better and rinse more thoroughly without minerals in the way.

• Pure care: Just clean, soft water — nothing extra your dog doesn’t need.

It’s a small detail that makes a big difference in the health and comfort of your dog.

I take the time to connect with your Golden, assess the condition of their coat, and discuss trimming and de-shedding treatment, along with a recommended grooming schedule.
