Oh No!! The dreaded skunk spray! Don’t panic…
Here at Riverside Grooming, we have the answer to your unpleasantness. It’s not very pleasing when your dog or cat gets skunked. Skunk smell is extremely hard to get rid of and can smell up your entire home. Luckily our salon carries the latest state-of-the-art Technology of odor removal – Our Microbubble Machine. Microbubbles penetrate the skin and hair follicles for the deepest cleanse possible for your dog’s skin and coat. It will remove the horrible skunk odor and provide your pet with a nice deep-skin cleanse. This tear-free treatment is a great alternative to other harsh chemicals that can potentially irritate the skin. While other salons are using tomato juice or other concoctions (UGGH) – with our treatment, your pet will get a perfect, relaxing spa-like experience. These older methods help, but do not get to the core of the chemical reactions.
If you run into this traumatic incident, give us a call immediately. ADDITIONAL WARNING: Do NOT try to bathe your pet as water can make it worse – unless you have a Microbubble machine!

WHAT IS MICROBUBBLE TECHNOLOGY?
Microbubbles represent advancement in skin cleaning capability. They take the concept of clean skin to a level that soaps and detergents cannot emulate. Microbubbles penetrate deep into pores and hair follicles, eliminating sebum, dirt and organic matter that conventional cleaning techniques simply cannot address. However, appropriate shampoos still have their place, particularly animals with excessively oily skin, so proper cleansing is determined by the skin type being treated.
EXACTLY WHAT ARE MICROBUBBLES?
Simply speaking, microbubbles are just very small bubbles. To qualify as “micro”, a bubble must, in fact, be less than a 1000 micrometers in size. However, to be effective for deep cleaning skin, the bubbles should be less than 25 micrometers in size and larger than 2. This allows them to penetrate hair follicles and skin pores while not passing through epidermis.
Riverside Grooming’s Microbubble System uniformly generates bubbles ranging from 3 to 20 micrometers. To put this in perspective, a typical human red blood cell is approximately 8 micrometers in size; a human hair is approximately 70 micrometers and most bacteria are between 3 and 40 micrometers in size.
IS IT SAFE FOR DOGS WITHOUT SKIN CONDITIONS?
Yes, it’s quite relaxing for the dog. As a matter of fact, it sometimes calms pets to the point where they go to sleep. With microbubble cleansing, there’s no need for loud high-pressure water nozzles. It’s very soothing and with our Dedicated Enzyme Bath Agent, it is even more soothing for your pet. Think of it as a relaxing spa session.
While Microbubble Technology does not replace veterinary or medical protocols, this wonderful deep-skin cleaning can enhance your doctor’s treatments.
