Spa day is not just a fancy bath

A real spa visit is a sequence built around your dog's comfort: assessment first, then treatments chosen for their skin and coat, then finishing touches. It can ride along with a full groom or stand alone as its own appointment. Either way the pace is unhurried on purpose; calm dogs accept care better, and the results last longer.

It starts with a consultation

We look before we lather: coat condition, skin color and texture, trouble spots, and what you have noticed at home (scratching, licking paws, dull coat, odor between baths). Our Certified Canine Esthetician reads the skin the way a stylist reads hair, and that assessment decides the products and treatments for the day. No one-size-fits-all here.

The Serenity Spaw

For dogs who love attention, the Serenity Spaw is a peaceful escape: gentle aromatherapy (optional, with a fragrance-free version available) and soothing, hands-on relaxation massage personalized to your dog's comfort. It is especially loved by anxious dogs learning that the salon is a good place, and by seniors who soak up the slow, warm attention.

The Skin Renewal Medi-Spaw

For skin and coats that need real help, itchy, flaky, dry or damaged, the Medi-Spaw is personalized care with our Certified Canine Esthetician: a skin and coat consultation, an individualized bathing protocol, medicated shampoo when appropriate, compatible conditioning treatments and take-home recommendations. It supports and complements your vet's guidance rather than replacing it.

The Southshore Signature Spaw

Our signature blend of luxury and thoughtful care: a luxurious bath tailored to your dog's skin and coat, a rich conditioning mask, gentle facial cleanse, nourishing paw balm and a coat-appropriate finishing treatment. It is the full experience, and the reason so many dogs leave here looking like they walked out of a shampoo commercial.
