Taking Your Dog’s Grooming To The Next Level & Beyond!

Treat your dog to a day at the Spaw! Mo’Tail & Spaw grooming services were created with your dogs’ needs in mind.

A trip to the groomers should be stress-free, relaxing and fun! Our calm space allows pups to unwind and let themselves get the beauty-treatment they deserve. When you book an appointment for grooming at the Mo’Tail & Spaw, you can be assured that your dog is in good hands.

We offer the widest array of services you’ll find in Iowa along with one-on-one grooming and Thera-Clean microbubble technology.

What Is Microbubble Therapy?

Microbubble therapy is a calm bathing experience where water is infused with billions of micro-sized, oxygen-rich bubbles. When combined with Ozone Sterilization, microbubble therapy becomes a powerful oxidant, attacking bacteria, viruses, and much more.

What Can Microbubbles Do For My Dog?
The bubbles can remove trapped dirt, bacteria, and yeast. Oily secretion, referred to as sebum, is released reducing odors. As the bubbles burst, they help to clean and hydrate your dog’s skin creating a silky-smooth coat that is healthier than ever. Micro bubbles penetrate deep into the skin relieving rashes or sensitive areas causing irritation using nothing but water.

Which Dogs Are Ideal For Microbubble Therapy?
The short answer is that any dog can benefit from microbubble therapy, however, dogs who suffer from hot spots, itchy skin, dandruff, inflammation, skin infections, allergies, and excessive shedding or hair loss can benefit the most. Microbubble therapy can also help relieve stress and anxiety.
