Simple, Effective Baths for Short-Haired Dogs
At DogCity West Seattle, our short coat dog baths are designed specifically for dogs with smooth or short fur. While these pups may not need haircuts, they still need regular bathing to stay clean, reduce shedding, and maintain skin health. This service is ideal for breeds like Labrador Retrievers, Boxers, Beagles, French Bulldogs, and Pit Bulls. We use premium products and gentle techniques to ensure a relaxing experience that removes dirt, loose fur, and odors—without over-drying sensitive skin. Whether it’s part of their routine or a post-adventure clean-up, we make bath time easy and stress-free.
What to Expect in a Short Coat Bath
When your pup comes in for a short coat bath at DogCity West Seattle, they’ll receive a high-quality, efficient service that keeps them looking and feeling great—without the stress of a full groom.
We start with a warm bath using coat-safe shampoo formulated for short-haired breeds. These shampoos cleanse thoroughly, remove dirt and odors, and protect your dog’s skin from drying out. If your pup has skin sensitivities or allergies, we also offer dermal and medicated shampoos for extra care.
After rinsing, we move to drying. Short-coated dogs are gently towel-dried followed by a blow dry with low heat to ensure they’re completely dry and comfortable. This step is quick but important—it helps reduce moisture buildup, especially in wrinkled or short-snouted breeds like pugs or bulldogs.
Following the bath, we perform a light brush-out to remove any lingering loose hair. While short coats don’t require the extensive brushing of long-haired breeds, this step helps minimize shedding and keeps their coat smooth.
Our team is happy to offer add-ons like nail trimming, ear cleaning, teeth brushing, and anal gland expression if needed. We also recommend adding a de-shedding treatment during seasonal coat changes to keep shedding under control.
From check-in to pick-up, our groomers handle every dog with care, patience, and expertise. We love getting to know your pup’s personality and creating a positive bath experience they'll actually enjoy.
