If your pup has visited us for a spa day recently, they likely already know and love Mariana. After serving as our dedicated Bather and mastering the art of keeping our furry guests calm, clean, and happy, Mariana has officially been promoted to Professional Groomer!

Mariana didn't just learn the basics—she put in the hard work to attend school and earn her formal grooming certification. But she didn't stop there. To ensure her skills met the rigorous, high standards our Escondido clients have come to expect, Mariana has spent months actively apprenticing right here under our senior grooming and bathing supervisors.

This powerful combination of official schooling and dedicated, in-house mentorship means she has perfected everything from safe handling and skin assessments to flawless, breed-standard styling. Best of all, because she has already built such incredible, trusting bonds with the dogs during her time as a Bather, stepping up to her grooming table is a stress-free, familiar, and positive experience for every pup.

• A great groom does more than just make your dog look and smell fantastic. Regular appointments with a professional like Mariana are essential for your dog's overall health.

• Mat Prevention: Severe mats pull on the skin, causing pain and even hidden infections. Regular brushing and professional trims keep the coat manageable.
• Ear and Nail Health: Overgrown nails can alter your dog's gait and cause joint pain, while uncleaned ears are a breeding ground for yeast and bacteria.
• The "Nose-to-Tail" Check: Groomers are often the first to notice new lumps, bumps, or skin irritations hidden beneath the fur, allowing you to catch potential health issues early

To help your dog maintain a gorgeous, shiny coat between grooming appointments, we highly recommend supporting their system with targeted, high-quality nutrition. Incorporating a premium, vet-recommended mushroom-based supplement can do wonders for their skin, immune system, and overall vitality.
