Dog and cat grooming in Juno Beach

Made for my dogs.
Offered for yours.

I've groomed for twelve years, and every shampoo, conditioner and finishing cologne that touches your pet here is one I formulated myself. Nothing off a supplier's shelf. Nothing I wouldn't use on my own.

Grand opening: 10% off Your pet's first visit, dogs and cats. Mention it when you book.

Dogs and cats. Puppies from 8 weeks. Seniors welcome, call ahead. Open 9 to 5, closed Sunday.

What goes on your dog, and why I made it

Most groomers buy their products. I make mine. The line is called DOWG Essentials, it's plant-based, and I built it to fix what I kept seeing on the table: dry Florida coats, itchy skin, curls that mat the second they hit humidity. Every groom at ZenSpawt uses it exclusively.

Hydrating shampoo

Deep moisture for coats that salt water and sun have dried out.

Used in every bath

Conditioner

Softens and detangles so brushing is comfortable, not a fight.

Long and curly coats

Mask

A longer treatment for dehydrated, brittle or over-shampooed coats.

Add-on, by coat condition

Cologne

The finishing scent. Light, clean, and it lasts past the car ride home.

Every groom, your choice of scent

Ear solution

Gentle cleaning for the ears, part of every full groom.

Dogs and cats

Dry bath

A no-water clean between visits. The one cat owners write to me about.

Sensitive skin, curly coats and dehydrated coats each have their own formula. Ask which one your pet got.

A calm room, one groomer, and a view

Your dog waits in a glass suite at the front of the salon, not a wire cage in the back. Fresh towels are washed on site. And it's me on the table, every appointment.

Come see it

We're at the Juno Beach plaza next to The Salty Blonde salon, a few minutes from the dog beach. Walk in, meet the goldens, and look at the products before you book anything.

Hours and directions

Salt, sun and sand

Juno Beach is paradise for a dog and hard on a coat. Here is what I see most, and what the groom does about it.

Salt water

Dries the skin and strips the natural oils that keep a coat soft. The hydrating shampoo and conditioner are built for exactly this. Rinse with fresh water after the beach when you can.

Humidity

Curly and long coats tighten and mat in the damp. Regular brushing at home and a groom every four to six weeks keeps matting from becoming a shave-down.

Sun

Thin-coated and light-colored dogs burn, and every dog's skin dries in it. Between visits, the mask treatment puts moisture back where the sun took it.

Coat check

Three questions. I'll tell you which appointment to book and which product your pet most likely needs.

I moved here for my daughter. I stayed for the dog beach.

I bought a house in Juno Beach so I could be near my daughter. The first time I walked the dog beach, I said out loud that I wanted to be near the dogs. That is the whole reason the salon is here and not somewhere else.

I've been grooming for twelve years. Somewhere in there I stopped being satisfied with what was on the shelf and started making my own: shampoos, conditioners, a mask, colognes. I tested everything on my own dogs first. Now it's on yours.

I don't think much about other salons. I compete with myself. When I see a problem on the table, I go home and make something for it.

— CarlaOwner, groomer, and the one who made the shampoo

Yes, cats.

Not many salons in the area will. Cats are groomed slowly, one at a time, with no dogs in the room. Bath or waterless dry bath, brush-out, nails, and a tidy where it's needed.

Cat grooming in Juno Beach, Jupiter and North Palm Beach.

Puppy's first groom

From 8 to 16 weeks. A short, gentle appointment built around getting used to the table, the water and the dryer, so every groom after this one is easy.

Bring the rabies record. Puppies get the sensitive-skin formula.

Before you come in

A few things that keep every pet in the salon safe.

Vaccinations

Every dog needs a current rabies vaccination. Bring the record to the first visit or text a photo of it ahead of time.

Matted or very dirty coats

Coats that arrive matted may need a de-matting fee or, if the mats are close to the skin, a shorter cut than planned. That call is made with you, never without you. It's the groomer's judgment, and it's always about what's comfortable for the dog.

Anxious dogs

Very welcome. Tell me when you book and I'll build the appointment around a slower pace. Aggressive dogs can't be accepted, for everyone's safety.

Senior dogs

Call ahead. Older dogs get shorter sessions, extra breaks and a time of day when the salon is quiet.

Puppies

Accepted from 8 to 16 weeks with a special puppy appointment. See puppy's first groom.

Cancellations draft wording

If you need to cancel within 24 hours of your appointment, please reschedule instead. Appointments cancelled outright inside that window are refunded at 50%.
