Our “Bubbly” Promise

“Spa time is a pleasant, relaxing experience at College for Pets. Our gentle ways calm even the most nervous dog.”
– Mike Robertson, Founder

The Spa

Natural Products

We use shampoos and conditioners made from gentle, all natural, hypoallergenic ingredients.

Prima™ Bathing System

Revolutionary advance in pet bathing. The Prima system cleans from the skin up, removing dead skin, dirt, and odors like no other form of bathing.

How It Works

Air is mixed under pressure with the shampoo and water solution so that when it is released into the coat, it is fully activated for cleansing. The air-injected, low-volume, high-pressure applicator enhances the ability of the shampoo to cut through the oil and dirt clinging to the pet’s coat and skin, for a cleansing you simply cannot get with other methods.

The Prima Bathing Systems’ technology helps rejuvenate the pet’s epidermis by oxygenating underneath the fur, opening up the pores and completely cleansing them of oils and bacteria. This helps restore a youthful sheen and vigor to the animal’s coat, skin, and nails.
