Warm-water baths and breed-specific haircuts for small dogs, brought to Ripon doors by appointment.
Ripon calls itself the Almond Capital of the World, and the blossoms in late winter are only part of life here. Dogs walk the Stanislaus River Trail, an out-and-back route of about eight miles where leashed dogs are welcome, and Mavis Stouffer Park sits right on the river. Caswell Memorial State Park, southwest of town, protects a mature oak forest along the water. Homes include Cornerstone, Ripon Vineyards and Downtown Ripon streets. After river mud, orchard dust and dry weeds, a dog's coat can tangle and hold seeds.
I come to you in a self-contained van with warm water and a drain tank, so no mess comes into your house. I groom one small dog at a time, under 35 pounds. After river days I clean paws, brush out mud and tangles, and look for burrs. When harvest dust is in the air, a clean coat keeps small dogs more comfortable. Text me to confirm I can fit Ripon into my route.

My van is based in Oakley and I travel to Ripon 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 Manteca, Lathrop and Lodi, all by appointment.
One directory lists the Stanislaus River Trail in Ripon as an eight-mile out-and-back route that welcomes leashed dogs. Keep your dog on a leash, bring water, and rinse or wipe off mud afterward.
During fall harvest, dust gets into fur, eyes and paws. It can dry the coat and cause tangles. Brush often, wipe the face and feet after time outside, and keep the coat trimmed so dust brushes out.

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.
