How should I prepare my puppy for grooming?
Begin early with your puppy by massaging ears, paws, teeth and gums, and even light brushing. More often than not, they will not be bothered by a grooming experience. It's also a good way to bond with your pet!

About Dog Splash
Established in 2004, Dog Splash is a day spa and boutique for pets. At Dog Splash we take a holistic approach to grooming. We provide an environment for pets that is both relaxing and as stress free as possible. We focus on individualized gentle care and quality time spent with each pet. In order to achieve harmony during their visit, we incorporate aroma therapy treatments by request, and deep cleansing massage baths using all natural grooming products. Our location is designed with you and your pet's comfort in mind. All grooming is done in the front of the salon, so you can see everything that happens.
Hours of Operation
Dog Splash is open Friday & Saturday 9am - 5pm, and Sunday 9am - 2pm. 8am drop-off is available by request. Our phone recording will alert you of specific days we will be closed. Dog Splash is closed Holidays.
Booking Reservations:
Although we schedule dogs and cats by appointment, we also welcome walk-ins. We limit the number of pets we service in one day to ensure the highest quality. From start to finish, a pet grooming at Dog Splash lasts from one to four hours depending on which services are being provided. Dogs are given bottled water during their stay. When your pet is ready, we’ll call you so you can pick them up as soon as their grooming is completed. Upon arrival, your stylist will discuss any problems found such as hot spots, dry skin, fleas, etc. You will also receive written instructions on how to best care for your pet between visits.
It is best to book appointments in advance. Scheduling an appointment and keeping it every 4-6 weeks may ensure a fixed grooming rate. Prices will vary depending on condition of the coat. Last appointments are scheduled no later than 3pm depending on breed and condition. Because we believe in making your pet's stay with us as stress free as possible, we do not rush through their experience. If you need your pet ready at a specific time, please let us know when scheduling your appointment.
Requirements:
Upon your first visit, you will need to fill out our Parent & Pet Profile Card. Please be sure to bring your pet's current vet records to your scheduled appointment.
About Myrza Gascon, Award Winning Head Pet Stylist:
As the head Pet Stylist of Dog Splash, I have had a deep love and passion for animals my whole life. However, it was when I met a Golden Retriever named Peanut (below) that I had really discovered my unique connection with animals. Peanut is my fun loving Golden Retriever who has anointed himself head greeter to all of your babies. I became determined to pursue a career developing and understanding this relationship. Along with schooling, extensive research, and hands on experience, I have gained in depth knowledge by working with clients & pet industry professionals, studying books & magazines, as well as attending seminars and conventions.

Peanut, Head Greeter
Previous to owning Dog Splash, I worked as a head Pet Stylist at an elite pet spa in downtown Chicago. I trained and certified at Academy of Dog Grooming Arts in Arlington Heights, where I received recognition for my work in advanced Hand Stripping Technique, and Bichon & Poodle Scissoring. In August 2006, I received recognition in the 34th All American Grooming Show for Best in Show for First Timer. Special thanks to a handsome Portugese Water Dog named Checker Solitro.
I am happy to be able to spend time doing what I love which is caring for your pet and making his/her coat look it's best. I strive to provide the highest quality services to you and your loving pets. At Dog Splash, our goal is to provide your pet with the most positive spa experience. We are committed to maintaining the highest level of care and professionalism in a safe and clean environment.
