Warm-water baths and breed-specific haircuts for small dogs, brought to Alamo doors by appointment.
Alamo is an unincorporated community of roughly 15,000 people tucked between Walnut Creek and Danville. Daily walks for many dogs here follow the Iron Horse Trail, a former railroad corridor where leashed dogs are allowed, and one local guide places Hap Magee Ranch Park about a mile along it toward Alamo. Side streets off Stone Valley Road and Hemme Avenue are calm enough for a stroll, while Danville Boulevard handles the traffic. Grassy verges and trail edges mean seeds, burrs and dust come home on the fur.
A long walk can leave a small dog with debris packed into the coat and fresh tangles behind the ears. I bring a full grooming van to your driveway and work on one dog at a time. I wash with warm water, dry, brush and trim, then check the ears, paws and belly where grass seeds like to settle. The tub drains into the van's own tank, so your floors stay dry.

My van is based in Oakley and I travel to Alamo by appointment. Text me your address and your dog's size and breed, and I will confirm whether I can fit you into my route. I also groom dogs in nearby Danville, Walnut Creek and Lafayette, all by appointment.
Look through the ears, between the toes, under the legs and along the belly for burrs and grass seeds. Head shaking, licking a paw or sudden sneezing can mean a seed got in. If you can't see it, call your vet instead of digging.
Yes. Brushing and a bath loosen most burrs, and trimming the feet, ears and belly makes seeds easy to spot and stops them from catching. A shorter, well kept coat also dries faster after wet winter walks.

I groom small dogs, generally under 35 pounds. My van and my one-on-one setup are built around keeping small dogs calm and comfortable.
I bring a self-contained grooming van to your home with my own warm water and a drain tank. Your dog is groomed right outside your door, so there is no mess and no water used inside your house.
Text or call (925) 666-4861 and I will get back to you to set a time. I take appointments from 8:00am to 1:30pm and I am closed Thursdays and Sundays.
