Flea Bath
A powerful mobile flea treatment that kills adult fleas on contact and soothes irritated skin — done at your home, without the stress of a salon visit.
What is a professional flea bath?
A Flea Bath is a targeted grooming treatment that uses medicated flea shampoo to kill adult fleas directly on your pet, providing immediate relief from the itching and irritation of a flea infestation.
Most pets experience significant relief within 24 to 48 hours. For complete flea control, we also advise treating your home environment — fleas spend most of their life cycle in carpets, bedding, and furniture, not on your pet.
Important: For best results, treat your home environment at the same time. A flea bath removes fleas from your pet, but eggs and larvae in your carpets and bedding will cause re-infestation without home treatment.
Benefits of a professional flea bath
Effective, safe, and stress-free — done right at your front door.
Kills adult fleas on contact
The medicated flea shampoo begins working immediately on contact, eliminating adult fleas during the bath itself.
Soothes irritated skin
Flea bites cause significant itching and inflammation. Our treatment includes skin-soothing ingredients to provide comfort fast.
Thorough coat cleaning
Beyond killing fleas, the treatment deep cleans your pet's coat, removing flea dirt, dander, and irritants left behind.
Helps break the flea cycle
By removing adult fleas and eggs from the coat, the bath is an important first step in breaking the flea lifecycle.
No stressful salon trip
Your pet is already uncomfortable from the infestation. A mobile bath in their familiar home environment keeps stress to a minimum.

We use species-appropriate products. Cat-safe formulas are always used for cats — please mention your pet's species when booking.
