CARE PLANS, NOT A MENU

Restorative bathing and skin care, chosen after intake.

You don't have to know whether your dog needs ears, paws, teeth, glands, conditioning, or a de-shed. Jamie starts with your dog's intake, skin, coat, history, and comfort level, then builds the right care plan from there.

CORE CARE

The visit is built around two primary paths.

Jamie uses the intake to decide whether your dog needs a reset, steady maintenance, or a plan that moves between both as their skin and coat improve.

Path 01

Restorative Skin & Coat Bathing

A structured bathing process for dogs with dry, flaky, itchy, dull, irritated, or overworked skin and coats.

  • Chosen around your dog's skin, coat, history, and comfort level
  • Uses professional ISB protocols instead of a one-size-fits-all bath
  • Documented from visit to visit so the plan can change as your dog improves

Path 02

Maintenance Skin & Coat Care

Ongoing care for dogs who need consistent comfort, coat support, and skin maintenance between bigger resets.

  • Built for routine care without turning the visit into a generic menu
  • Helps maintain softness, skin comfort, and coat resilience over time
  • Adjusted as Jamie learns what your dog tolerates, needs, and responds to

CARE PLAN TOOLKIT

What Jamie may fold in, after intake.

This isn't a second services menu. These are the smaller decisions Jamie makes after she understands your dog's skin, coat, history, and comfort level.

Checkpoint 01

Skin + coat comfort

Used when the main bath needs more support for texture, shedding, or resilience.

Coat Conditioning

Coat feels dry, fragile, dull, or mat-prone

For dry, brittle, dull, fragile, or mat-prone coats that need softness, slip, and resilience.

De-Shed Support

Undercoat or seasonal buildup is weighing the coat down

For coats carrying excess undercoat or seasonal buildup that need a full bath-through-finish process.

Checkpoint 02

Sensitive detail care

Added only when smaller areas need patient, comfort-first attention.

Paw & Pad Support

Pads look rough, dry, cracked, or uncomfortable

For rough, cracked, dry, or irritated paw pads that need slow, gentle care.

Ear Care Protocol

Ears need gentle routine cleaning or observation notes

Gentle routine cleaning support, with observations you can share with your veterinarian when needed.

Facial & Skin Fold Care

Facial folds, wrinkles, or tear-staining areas need attention

For folds, wrinkles, tear-staining areas, and sensitive facial details that need patient maintenance.

Checkpoint 03

Routine finish

Folded in when it supports comfort without turning the visit into a menu.

Nail Care

Nails need low-stress routine maintenance

Patient, trust-based nail care when it supports comfort, posture, and routine maintenance.

Teeth Cleaning Support

Tooth brushing fits the dog's comfort level

Gentle tooth brushing and oral-care support for dogs who tolerate it comfortably.

External Gland Expression

External expression is appropriate within grooming scope

Routine external expression when appropriate and within a comfort-based grooming scope.

Not sure which checkpoints apply? That's the point of the intake. Jamie sorts the plan for you.

HOW IT WORKS

Your dog's care starts with a conversation.

The intake gives Jamie the context she needs before choosing products, protocols, pacing, or handling. Skin history, coat condition, behavior, age, sensitivities, and comfort all matter.

After that, she'll confirm the care plan with you before the first visit, so you'll know what she's focusing on and why.

Start the intake

The goal is a dog who doesn't need me as often.

Education is half of what I do. At every visit I'll show you what I'm seeing, what's changing, and exactly how to maintain your dog's skin and coat at home, and I stock the ISB products I use so your home routine matches your dog's plan.
