Home Away from Home: Grooming for Your Tazewell County Pets

"A big thank you to the girls who assisted the doctors and who gave Sheba her monthly grooming. She loved going to the ‘car wash’, as Dave would say, but I like saying ‘the spa"

Aboard The Ark Grooming Services

Complete pampering for your pet – this package includes all of the Spa Treatments listed above at a very special rate.

We carry a variety of specialty shampoos and conditioners for every need

We also offer Coat Carding, FURminating, and Coat Conditioning Treatments

  • Coat Carding is a natural technique to remove the loose coat from many coat types, a popular grooming procedure. The carding technique helps to maintain a healthy coat by removing undercoat, reducing shedding, and allowing the topcoat to lay flatter for a smoother appearance. For many coat types, carding can actually enhance the coat color. For those pets that have been clippered, carding produces a more vibrant top coat.
  • FURminator Professional deShedding Products include specialty tools for removing undercoat without damage to topcoat, as well as shampoos, conditioners, treats, and supplements all designed to reduce shedding and promote a healthy beautiful coat - Read more about these recommended grooming products and treatments

In addition, we always scissor legs and feet for that professional look. Your satisfaction is our goal.

Requirements: All pets must be up to date with vaccines (Rabies, Distemper Parvo/Feline Distemper, and Bordetella). Have your veterinarian fax your pet’s record to us. Our staff will be happy to update your vaccines if needed.
