Bath & Brush
Dog Bath & Brush in Phoenix, AZ
A real professional bath — deep clean, high-velocity dry, and a brush-out that takes the desert out of the coat.
More Than a Rinse: The Full Bath & Brush Routine
Phoenix dogs collect the desert: fine dust in the undercoat, pollen from spring palo verde season, chlorine from the pool, and monsoon mud in July. A quick backyard hose-down pushes that deeper. Our bath & brush service pulls it all out — and leaves a coat that stays cleaner longer.
Every hour-long appointment includes:
- Two-pass bath with professional shampoo matched to coat and skin type
- High-velocity blow-dry that clears water and loose undercoat down to the skin
- Complete brush-out — slicker, comb, and undercoat rake as the coat requires
- Cleanup around the face, eyes, and sanitary areas
- Nail care so paws leave as tidy as the coat
Want extras? Add teeth brushing ($10) or a special shampoo treatment ($30) — flea & tick, soothing oatmeal for itchy desert skin, or a deshedding formula for double-coated shedders.
The Blow-Dry Is Where the Magic Happens
Anyone can lather a dog. The professional difference is the dry: our dryers float the coat open so skin dries fully (no hot spots), loose fur releases now instead of on your couch, and hidden tangles surface where we can brush them out gently. It’s also the step that makes a haircut possible — which is why a bath & brush is the foundation of every full groom we do.
A Smart Between-Grooms Strategy
Many of our regulars alternate: full groom one month, bath & brush the next. The coat stays healthy, the haircut lasts longer, and the total cost stays lower than letting things go and paying for dematting later. Not sure what rhythm your dog needs? Our grooming frequency guide lays it out by coat type.

Bath & Brush FAQs
What is included in a bath and brush?
A professional bath with shampoo suited to your dog’s coat, a thorough high-velocity blow-dry, complete brush-out, cleanup around the face and rear, and nail care. It takes about an hour.
How is a professional bath different from bathing at home?
The blow-dry is the real difference. Our dryers push water and loose undercoat out at the skin level, which prevents the damp-skin hot spots and post-bath shedding explosion you get with towel drying — especially on thick desert-weather coats.
Do you offer deshedding treatments?
Yes — add a special shampoo treatment ($30) with a deshedding formula, followed by an extended undercoat blow-out. Huskies, shepherds, and labs in Phoenix shed year-round, and regular deshedding baths dramatically cut down the fur on your floors.
My dog rolled in something awful. Can you fit us in?
Call us at (602) 316-7582 — bath appointments are shorter than full grooms, so we can often fit a same-week (sometimes same-day) rescue bath.
