St. Marks, Florida
Coastal grooming around St. Marks.
St. Marks is a small coastal town south of Tallahassee where the St. Marks River meets Apalachee Bay. Send your request and we will look for a groomer who makes the drive.
Grooming at the end of the trail.
St. Marks is a fishing village near the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge and the end of the St. Marks Trail. Dogs there are around salt marsh, boat ramps and shell roads, and often come home damp and smelling of brine.
Salt and mud dry onto the coat and can irritate skin. A fresh water rinse right after outings and a full shampoo soon after keeps fur cleaner and more comfortable.
The town is small and the drive from Tallahassee is long enough that mobile groomers may charge a travel fee. Ask how they handle it before booking.

How do I clean a dog after the salt marsh?
Rinse with fresh water first, towel off, then schedule a shampoo bath. Check ears and paws for mud and shells.
Does a coastal dog need more grooming?
Often more baths and brushing are helpful, since salt and mud stay in the coat. A regular schedule of every four to six weeks is a start.
