The Pet Bow-Tique is a professional Oviedo pet grooming salon that takes pride in providing professional results with as little as a day’s notice due to our staff of several certified, caring pet grooming professionals. You can always call us and request a day that is convenient for you and we will do our best to accommodate your needs. We can usually accept same-day walk-ins with the exception of weekends, which are almost always booked in advance. For completely booked days, we do maintain a waiting list.
Grooming is about so much more than the appearance of your pet! At The Pet Bow-Tique, we take the health and well-being of your pet as seriously as we take their appearance. Dawn Blackmore, the owner, understands canine and feline behavior, skin problems, common ailments and other issues that can affect your pet’s health and can offer suggestions about possible treatment options.
At The Pet Bow-Tique, we understand that pet grooming is both a profession and an art. Every pet stylist has a different touch; if you prefer a particular stylist, you may request them at any time.
The Grooming Process
At The Pet Bow-Tique, we use a four-step process that combines professional care with personalized, loving attention for your pet.
Every grooming session includes:
- Bathing (medicated if needed)
- Fluffing
- Nails Trimmed
- Gland Expression
- Ear Cleaning
- Styled Cut
- Assessment & Dematting. We will check your pet for mats, tangles, skin lesions, ear infections and general coat condition in order to determine the best shampoo to use. If your pet is matted, we will notify you if the charge will exceed $10 additional or if we feel he or she needs to be shaved. Dematting is an additional fee of $25 per hour – but, keep in mind that this can be very uncomfortable…..therefore, we will not put your pet through any pain.
- Prepping and Rough Clipping. During this phase, your pet’s ears will be plucked if needed, tummy, tush, and pads of feet will be trimmed of hair and the toenails will be trimmed. For an additional $3.00, we can smooth your pet’s nails with the Dremel tool to prevent potential scratching and snagging of the nails. Lastly, your pet will be clipped to your specifications. And then onto the bath!
- Spa Session. Here is where your pet is truly pampered! He or she will be lathered up and scrubbed down with a wonderful shampoo formula for his or her skin and fur type and rinsed thoroughly. Conditioner and/or medicated shampoo will be applied as needed or on request. Fluff drying by one of our bathers wraps up this relaxing phase of the grooming process. We use only cool air dryers for the comfort and safety of your pet. If you like, we can apply a wonderful lavender-vanilla aroma rinse after the bath and before blow drying for only $3.00. This soft, refreshing scent lasts for several days.
- Finishing. The final touches will be put on your pet, including touch-ups to the cut and accessories are added to give your pet his completed look. We include a wonderful array of canine colognes and bows and bandanas unless otherwise requested. Due to the unpredictability of our day, we cannot give nor guarantee completion times. However, for geriatric, ailing, or similar pets, we offer an express service at $15 extra to guarantee completion within three hours.
Once your pet is ready to go, one of our receptionists will call and let you know your pet is ready to be picked up. However, we’ll take good care of your baby until 6:00 if needed!
Grooming Options
We offer all breed specific cuts and an array of functional pet cuts for your furry friends. We also offer the option of nails trimming with the Dremel tool, which we recommend to all of our pet owners, as well as a selection of shampoos, conditioners and colognes. Because of the variation in options, we quote each pet’s grooming session individually.
* We can only give an estimate prior to grooming your pet "in person."
We can, however, promise you that we will not try to sell you fluff or gimmicks like facials or "paw waxing." We only provide services that make sense at a reasonable price. After years of working with pets and their owners, we have discovered that two extras that are worth the price are our aroma rinses, which make the fur smell fantastic for days after their bath, and our Hydro-Surge Therapy, a wonderful treatment that treats a number of skin problems.
Hydro-Surge Therapy
Does your pet suffer from dry, itchy skin or skin allergies? Then try The Pet Bow-Tique’s hydro-surge therapy with medicated shampoo, recommended by veterinary dermatologists to treat many canine skin disorders. It gently exfoliates dead skin, increases blood circulation in localized areas and aids in follicular flushing. Regular scheduled hydro-surge therapeutic baths are recommended to improve chronic skin problems and make your pet more comfortable. You’ll notice a huge difference! It is also great to reduce shedding! We do offer full-service baths for those that do not need haircuts.
The Pet Bow-Tique’s Cage Policy:
At The Pet Bow-Tique, we do use cages to some extent. For safety reasons, pets should never be allowed to run loose in a grooming shop. It puts them, as well as people, at risk (i.e. electric cords, getting loose on a busy road, bit by another dog, as well as spread of parasites or virus). Your pet will not be confined for long stretches of time (we have them at our grooming table, in the tub, and on a fluffing table, they are always on the go). Our goal is to protect your pet’s health and safety in all situations. If you have any questions about our cage policy, please feel free to ask us.
