Bath & Tidy Trim

The Bath & Tidy Trim is the right option for dogs that need more than a bath but do not need a full haircut at every visit. This service includes a gentle warm bath, blow-dry, brush-out, nail trim, ear cleaning, and a face-feet-fanny tidy trim to keep the dog clean, comfortable, and well maintained between full grooms.

It is especially useful for owners trying to stay on top of maintenance without booking a full haircut every time. For dogs with fast-growing coats, it can help extend the time between larger appointments while still keeping friction areas neat and sanitary.

Full Wash & Cut

The Full Wash & Cut is Golden Paws' full grooming service. It includes a deep bath, blow-dry, ear cleaning, nail trim, sanitary trim, paw cleanup, and a breed-appropriate haircut or trim based on the coat type and the owner's preferences.

This is the service most dogs with continuously growing coats need on a regular schedule. Doodles, Poodles, Bichons, Schnauzers, Shih Tzus, Spaniels, and similar breeds usually do best with this option because it combines coat maintenance with the haircut work needed to keep the dog comfortable and mat-free.

How We Match the Service to the Dog

Not every dog needs the same appointment. Coat type matters, but so does the amount of brushing happening at home, the dog's activity level, and whether the coat is prone to matting or undercoat buildup. Short-coated and wash-and-wear dogs often do well with bath and de-shedding maintenance. Dogs with fast-growing coats usually need full grooming or a puppy grooming plan started early. If the dog is nervous about nails or brand new to the salon, we can begin with a smaller, more focused visit and build from there.
