Frequently Asked Questions

How do Ocean Gate pet spas help manage the sand and saltwater from the local beaches that can irritate my dog's skin and paws?

Many local pet spas offer specialized 'beach bum' rinse-off services that focus on thoroughly washing away sand, salt, and any potential environmental allergens from your dog's coat and paws. These quick, affordable rinses often include a conditioning treatment to replenish moisture stripped by saltwater and can be done as a walk-in service near the end of the day, making it easy to clean up after a visit to Ocean Gate Beach or the nearby Island Beach State Park.

Given Ocean Gate's proximity to Barnegat Bay, do your grooming packages include anything to reduce the 'wet dog' smell after my pet gets in the water?

Absolutely. Groomers in the Ocean Gate area are very familiar with this issue. We use high-quality, deodorizing shampoos specifically designed to neutralize the organic compounds that cause the 'wet dog' odor, rather than just masking it. Many of our full-service grooming packages include an extra de-scenting rinse and a blow-out with high-velocity dryers to ensure the coat is completely clean and dry, leaving your pet smelling fresh even after an unexpected dip in the bay.

What is your policy for cancellations or rescheduling during the busy summer season when vacation plans to the Jersey Shore can change unexpectedly?

We understand that summer plans in Ocean Gate can be fluid due to weather or last-minute changes. We request at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling. For last-minute changes due to unforeseen circumstances, we do our best to be accommodating, especially for our local clients. We recommend booking your pet's spa appointment for the beginning of your stay to allow flexibility for rescheduling later in the week if needed.

With the prevalence of ticks in Ocean County's wooded and marshy areas, what tick prevention or removal services do you offer during grooming?

Our groomers perform a thorough pre-brush and visual inspection of your pet's coat, paying close attention to common hiding spots like ears, neck, and between toes. If we find any ticks, we will safely remove them and inform you. We also offer medicated tick-repellant baths using shampoos approved by local veterinarians. This service is highly recommended during the spring and fall when ticks are most active in our local parks and nature trails.

Do you offer any specific de-matting services for long-haired breeds that can become matted from the high humidity and ocean air in Ocean Gate?

Yes, the salt air and humidity along the shore can cause mats to form more quickly. We specialize in humane de-matting techniques. For minor matting, we use detangling sprays and conditioners followed by careful brushing. For severe cases where the mats are too tight against the skin, for the pet's comfort and safety, a 'shave down' may be the only ethical option. We always communicate with you beforehand to discuss the best approach for your pet's specific condition and comfort level.
