Bath & Brush in St. Charles, MO

A deep clean and full brush-out — no haircut required.

A bath and brush is our no-haircut service: a warm bath, a full blow-dry, and a complete brush-out. It's perfect for short-coated dogs that never need a trim, and for double-coated breeds between full grooms when you just want them clean and de-shedded.

We match the shampoo to your dog's coat and skin, then blow-dry and brush the coat all the way through so loose hair comes out at the salon instead of on your couch.

What's included

  • Warm bath with a coat-appropriate shampoo
  • Full blow-dry to lift the coat and speed drying
  • Complete brush-out to remove loose and dead coat
  • A cleaner-smelling, fluffier dog with less shedding at home
  • Free bandana or bows

What to expect

  1. Coat check
    We look over the coat and skin and pick a shampoo suited to your dog.
  2. Bath
    A warm, thorough wash that gets down to the skin, not just the surface of the coat.
  3. Blow-dry
    A full blow-dry that lifts the coat and pulls loose undercoat away from the skin.
  4. Brush-out
    We brush the whole coat through so shedding hair leaves with us, and finish with a bandana or bows.

Why it matters

Less shedding at home

A proper bath and blow-out removes the loose undercoat that would otherwise end up on your floors and furniture.

Clean skin, less itch

Washing away dirt, dander, and allergens helps skin stay comfortable between full grooms.

Great for short coats

Boxers, Beagles, Labs, and other wash-and-wear breeds get everything they need from a bath and brush.

Best for

Short- and smooth-coated dogs that don't need a haircut, and heavy shedders like Labs, Huskies, and Golden Retrievers who need regular de-shedding baths.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a bath & brush and a full groom?

A bath & brush is a wash, dry, and brush-out with no haircut. A full groom adds a breed-specific haircut, plus nails and ears as standard. If your dog's coat grows and needs shaping, choose the full groom.

Can you add a nail trim to a bath?

Yes — a nail trim is an easy add-on to any bath. Just ask when you book or at drop-off.

Will this help with shedding?

A lot. The bath loosens dead undercoat and the blow-dry and brush-out pull it free, so far less ends up on your furniture. Heavy shedders benefit from a de-shedding bath on a regular schedule.
