Drop-in home visits
Here at Holy Barks we do know there are instances where a dog may not be the best candidate for boarding due to age, anxiety, or the pet parent being unable to bring the dog to us. We (on a case-by-case basis) do provide drop-in home visits to care for these pets if needed. This allows the pet the comfort of their own home as we come in 1-3 times a day to be sure your pet is safe, happy and cared for. Our visits are at least 30 minutes, we make sure pup has food and fresh water, gets their potty/walk/play time, administer any medication necessary and has the love and affection they may miss while you are away. Please reach out to our office if you would like additional information or prices. We are here to serve you!

Just a little info:
Our grooming services will not only keep your pet clean and happy, but healthy as well. Falling behind on grooming can result in matted fur, skin irritation, bugs and can lead to your pet becoming stressed and possibly ill. Our groomers not only ensure that your pet is clean, but they are trained to notice skin lesions, growths or sores that may not be noticeable under the coat. Our services will provide warm and cool massaging bath and fluff drying, coat brushing and hair cutting, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and pet safe spray cologne choices available as an added finishing touch.
THINGS YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT GROOMING
Gooming is not only about aesthetics, it is fundamental to a pet's wellbeing. Unlike other pet care services, regular grooming impacts multiple aspects of a pet's health.
1. Skin and Coat health: Regular grooming helps prevent matting; which can be PAINFUL and lead to skin infections if left untreated.
2. Ear and Dental health: Many groomers provide ear cleaning and gentle dental maintenance reducing risks of infections and complications.
3. Nail and Paw care: Overgrown nails can lead to joint pain and mobility issues, especially in older pets.
4. Early Detection: Groomers often notice lumps, bumps or changes in pet's skin, allerting pet parents to potential health issues early.
Consequences of skipping grooming
When pet parents deprioritize grooming, the impact on pet health can be significant. Matted fur, neglected nails, and poor skin hygiene can lead to:
1. Increased vet costs- that can be more expensive than grooming.
2. Decreased quality of life - pets feel more comfortable when they are clean, mat-free, and their nails are appropriately trimmed.
3. Behavioral and Mental health - regular grooming not only keeps pets healthy, but also plays a significant role in their emotional and mental well-being, by encouraging a positive relationship with YOU and other people in general.
How to make grooming affordable and sustainable
1. Planning for regular grooming rather than waiting until issues arise can keep costs lower in the long term.
2. Invest in at-home maintenance: simple grooming tasks like brushing and cleaning can extend the time between professional grooms and keep your pet comfortable.
3. Work with your groomer on frequency and maintenance: many groomers offer packages or maintenance programs that help stretch the time between full-service grooms.
