Bathing and Blow Drying

Fresh, Clean, and Fluffy — The Foundation of Great Grooming

Every great groom starts with a thorough bath and professional blow dry. At Sittin’ Pretty Pet Spa, our bathing and blow drying services are designed to leave your pet clean, refreshed, and ready for styling — or simply feeling their best. We use safe, skin-friendly shampoos and coat-specific products to restore softness, remove buildup, and eliminate odors.


Whether you’re booking a standalone bath or including it in a full grooming session, we provide personalized care for dogs of all breeds at both our Roseville and Eastpointe locations.

What’s Included in Our Pet Bathing Service

Every bath at Sittin’ Pretty Pet Spa includes:

Coat Assessment

We inspect your pet’s skin and coat to select the appropriate shampoo.

Warm Water Rinse

We use temperature-controlled water for a calming, gentle cleanse.

Shampoo & Conditioning

Lathered thoroughly, with attention to problem areas (e.g., paws, tail, underarms).

Thorough Rinse

No residue left behind — just a fresh, clean coat.

Coat-Specific Conditioner

Optional, depending on coat texture or skin condition.

Blow Dry with Professional Equipment

Fast, effective, and stress-reducing drying with high-velocity dryers.

Final Brush-Out

Removes tangles and loose fur, leaving the coat soft and tangle-free.

Ear Cleaning & Nail Trimming

Included with most bathing packages.

Why Regular Bathing Matters

Bathing isn’t just about keeping your pet clean — it plays a vital role in their health and comfort. Routine baths help:



  • Remove dirt, dander, and allergens
  • Reduce odors caused by oils and bacteria
  • Prevent matting and tangling
  • Hydrate dry or itchy skin
  • Support coat shine and softness
  • Identify skin issues early, like hot spots or parasites


For pets with allergies or sensitivities, we offer hypoallergenic and medicated shampoo options to relieve irritation without causing dryness.

The Blow Dry Difference

Our blow drying process is just as important as the bath. Unlike air drying or towel-only drying, our high-velocity blow dryers:



  • Dry the coat quickly to prevent chills or matting
  • Remove excess undercoat and dead hair
  • Fluff the fur for even cutting or styling
  • Reveal hidden skin conditions or matting
  • Help reduce shedding when combined with brushing


We use noise-reduction techniques and go at your pet’s pace, especially for anxious or senior pets.

Great for All Dog Breeds

Our bathing and blow drying services are perfect for:


  • Dogs with short, medium, or long coats
  • Dogs in need of a freshen-up or seasonal cleaning
  • Active pets who get dirty often
  • Senior pets with sensitive skin
  • Puppies getting used to grooming


We adjust our products and approach based on coat type, skin health, and temperament, ensuring every pet has a positive experience.

Ideal Bathing Frequency

The ideal bathing schedule depends on your pet’s lifestyle, breed, and skin type. In general:


  • Short-haired dogs: Every 1–2 months
  • Long-haired dogs or double-coated breeds: Every 4–6 weeks
  • Active or outdoor pets: More frequent bathing may be recommended


Our team can help you build a custom grooming routine based on your pet’s needs.

Combine Bathing with Other Services

Bathing and blow drying are included in every full-service groom, but can also be booked alone or with add-ons such as:



  • Nail trimming or grinding
  • Anal gland expression
  • Teeth brushing
  • Sanitary or face trims
  • De-shedding treatments
  • Coat conditioning treatments


We’ll help you choose the right combination for your pet’s comfort, hygiene, and coat health.
