“We’re pleased to announce the opening of three new convenient locations of Delightful Doggie Day Spa! We’re no ordinary doggie spa….” And I thought it was just another take out menu stuck to my mailbox.
Teeth Whitening
Now faster and brighter than ever! No more messy trays and gels! With just a single one hour Dog Brite Laser session, Killer’s teeth can sparkle in the sunshine every time they bark at the neighbor’s cat.
Botox/Restalyne
Is your Hound being mistaken for a Shar-Pei? Think your cheerful Schnauzer is frowning all the time? It could be the natural result of aging muscles and reduced collagen production. Consider Botox to freeze muscles and prevent further creases or Restalyne to fill those pesky facial crevices.
Pawdicure
Those asphalt roads and cement sidewalks can really take a toll on precious pooch paws! And the digging — a paw’s worst nightmare! Let Delightful Doggie Spa’s specially trained and licensed Pawologists work their magic on Fido’s feet.
Four Feet: Our most popular selection includes paw soak in Dead Sea salts and essential oils, followed by a ¾-leg massage, nail trim and choice of nail polish colors. $40
French Tip: (a Favourite of our Poodle clientele) $50
Paraffin Dip: $10
Polish Change Only: $15
Split Nail Repair: $5 per paw
(Please note, a $30 surcharge will be added if muzzle use is required.)
Shampoo and Blow Dry
A weekly must for any self-respecting pooch. Prices range from $15 to $105 depending on fur condition, length and texture. Why not add some pampering touches?
Permanent Waves: starting at $60
Highlights: starting at $55
Weaves: starting at $90 (saves dogs from the shame of a bad buzz cut)
Eyelash Extensions
You can never get enough of those puppy eyes, can you? Let your Doggie Diva experience the latest Hollywood trend. Lashes are hand crafted from horse hair and secured with semi-permanent, hypoallergenic glue. Your dog’s beautiful browns will be melting hearts for months to come.
Full Set: $199
Touch Ups: $35
Lash Removal: $30
Massage
Research proves is massage not only good for sore, tight muscles (all that cat chasing!) but does wonders for coat sheen, digestive health and ear wax build up. European-trained therapists, soft music, subtle lighting, aromatherapy and 600 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets make Delightful Doggie Spa’s massage services world renown.
Sport: Great after those long games of fetch! Half Hour: $30, Full Hour: $60
Hot Steak Bones: Our signature service. Specially trained in Eastern Canine Massage techniques, our therapists start by placing perfectly warmed steak bones on key muscular points, followed by deep tissue massage. Ninety Minutes: $100
Master and Companion: Our signature service! Spend a relaxing hour with your favorite four legged family member. Two specially trained therapists work side by side while you enjoy quiet quality time with your pup. Includes complimentary champagne, strawberries and rawhides.
Only $185!
