Common questions.
What is Special care? +
Special care adds extra time and patience to a grooming appointment for dogs who need a slower pace — anxious, senior, reactive, or newly rescued pups. We take breaks and use force-free, Fear-Free techniques.
Can Special care be booked by itself? +
It is an add-on to a Full Groom or Bath & Brush so we can complete the coat work your dog needs at a comfortable pace. Tell us when you book.
Do you groom reactive or muzzle-needed dogs? +
Yes — gently. If muzzling is needed for safety, we use only force-free, supportive techniques. We'll talk through your dog's history before the visit.
Is Special care popular in Eagle Rock? +
Yes. Many Eagle Rock regulars are Pasadena Humane adoptees who started anxious and stayed for life. Slower sessions and consistent handlers make a big difference.
We groom dogs from Pasadena, Altadena, South Pasadena, San Marino, Sierra Madre, Arcadia, La Cañada Flintridge, Eagle Rock, and nearby San Gabriel Valley neighborhoods — drop-off at our Colorado Boulevard salon.
