Frequently Asked Questions

Given the high-density living in Navy Yard apartments, do your pet spa services offer any solutions for managing pet anxiety or excessive barking during grooming?

Yes, we understand that many pets in Navy Yard live in apartments and can be sensitive to new environments. Our groomers are trained in gentle handling techniques and we offer calming solutions such as pheromone diffusers, low-stress handling, and can schedule appointments during quieter hours to minimize anxiety. For pets with significant anxiety, we may recommend a consultation to create a personalized, gradual introduction to our spa.

How do you handle the unique grooming needs for dogs that frequently use the Yards Park and the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail, which can expose them to river water and specific dirt?

Pets that play along the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail often pick up specific mud, sand, and potential irritants from the riverbank. Our de-shedding and deep-cleaning spa packages are specifically designed to tackle this. We use clarifying shampoos that remove river residue and environmental allergens, followed by a thorough blow-out to eliminate trapped sand and undercoat debris, leaving your pet's coat clean and healthy after their urban adventures.

Are there any special considerations or services for brachycephalic breeds (like French Bulldogs or Pugs) common in the neighborhood, especially during DC's humid summer months?

Absolutely. We take extra care with brachycephalic breeds, especially given Washington DC's intense summer heat and humidity. Our grooming process includes climate-controlled facilities, keeping these breeds cool throughout their service. We use quick-dry techniques to prevent overheating, provide ample breaks, and are trained to recognize signs of respiratory distress. We also offer paw pad balms to protect from hot pavement common in the Navy Yard area.

With the frequent community events and Nationals games near The Yards, do you offer any express or 'game-day' grooming services to get pets cleaned up quickly?

Yes, we offer 'Nats Clean-Up' express services on days with home games and during major community events at The Yards. This is a streamlined 30-minute service focused on a quick bath, brush-out, and sanitary trim to remove any visible dirt or 'stadium smell,' ensuring your pet is fresh and presentable for pre or post-game gatherings without the wait of a full grooming appointment.

What is your policy on flea and tick prevention, given the prevalence of these pests in the grassy areas of Canal Park and the surrounding DC parks?

For the safety of all our clients, we require proof of a veterinarian-prescribed flea and tick preventative for all grooming services. If we discover evidence of fleas or ticks during check-in, which is common for pets that frequent Canal Park, we will require you to reschedule the appointment after treatment. We can, however, provide a one-time, medicated flea and tick elimination bath for an additional fee if you were unaware of the infestation, using products that are effective against local pest populations.
