Healthy Skin, Healthy Dog
Grooming is about more than a pretty face. It’s just as important as diet and exercise in maintaining your dog’s health and happiness. When most people think of grooming, bathing and trims come to mind. Skincare is often overlooked.
Regular grooming is AMAZING for dog’s skincare. And proper skincare can prevent or reduce future vet bills. Dogs’ skin is 1/3 the thickness of human skin, making it more prone to certain environmental and conditional aggravators. Groom to Bloom is happy to offer Nagayu Co2 Skin Therapy Treatment.

What does it do?
Deep Cleaning & Odor Removing
The CO2 treatment removes mineral waste in clogged pores which cause odour, while preserving the natural moisture levels in your dog’s skin.
Medical Problems & Allergies
Dog’s skin is 1/3 the thickness of human skin. When the outer layer is damaged, it can cause an imbalance in the skin’s pH levels resulting in scabs, yeast, or oil build up. This treatment maintains the health and quality of your dog’s protective skin layers.
Improved Coat
The effect of the bicarbonate ions, hydrogen ions, and citric acid wash off mineral and silicon dirt clogged in the hair root. Thiis results in a full, silky, healthy coat.
What is it?
It’s a compressed tablet consisting of carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and bicarbonate. The system adds ions into the rinse following the shampoo, which has been an effective medical treatment on humans for years. This method originated in a small village name “Nagayu” located in southern Japan, where carbon dioxide naturally occurs in hot springs.
How does it work?
The tablet is placed in a special shower head and is immediately dissolved with fresh running water. When the body absorbs bicarbonate ions through the skin it causes the body to synthesize and release nitric oxide into the inner lining of the blood vessel. This process increases blood circulation and oxygen absorption. When oxygen is absorbed, bicarbonate ions and carbon dioxide within the body are excreted as by products. This process helps in the maintaining of the pH levels in the blood and skin.
When will I see results?
Results can typically be seen after on treatment, but like antibiotics or other treatments, dogs with major skin issues need follow up baths for the treatment to work. The skin needs time to recuperate if the problem has been present for some time. While the Nagayu Skin Therapy Treatment will not cure skin problems, it helps alleviate symptoms. Regular grooming can help prevent skin issues in the first place.
