Flea & Tick Treatment Grooming Service | KurlyTails Fuquay-Varina, NC
Walk-in & same-day dog grooming appointments available in Fuquay-Varina, NC
Living and playing in the Raleigh-Durham Triangle means North Carolina's warm, humid climate keeps fleas and ticks active for a far longer season than most dog owners expect — often well into December and back again by early March. KurlyTails in Fuquay-Varina, NC offers a specialized flea and tick treatment bath using professional-grade, veterinarian-approved shampoos that are tough on parasites but gentle on your dog's skin and coat. Whether you have spotted evidence of hitchhikers after a hike along the Neuse River Trail or you simply want to add a seasonal line of defense during peak months, our grooming team will conduct a thorough inspection, treat with the appropriate formula, and help you understand what follow-up steps to take at home for lasting protection.
What’s included
- Veterinarian-approved flea and tick shampoos safe for curly and sensitive coats
- Full coat inspection included to identify active infestations before bathing
- Available as a standalone treatment or combined with a full grooming appointment
- Particularly important during North Carolina's extended warm-weather tick season
- Groomers advise on at-home follow-up and recommended prevention products
- Safe for puppies over 12 weeks and senior dogs with appropriate formula selection
How we work
We groom one dog at a time. That means your dog isn’t waiting in a crate for hours or being rushed through a line — they’re bathed, dried, and finished in one calm, continuous visit. We start by checking the coat and skin, talk through the look you want, and text you before doing anything that would change the quote. Most dogs are ready the same day.
Breeds and coats we specialize in
Curly and double coats are our focus: goldendoodles, bernedoodles, labradoodles, sheepadoodles, and standard, miniature, and toy poodles — plus shepherds, terriers, and double-coated breeds that need real de-shedding. If your dog’s coat mats easily, you’re exactly who we’re set up for.
We’re right here in Fuquay-Varina at 1655 Atkins Rd, open every day 8 AM–6 PM. Honest, published pricing — no surprises at pickup. See full pricing or browse our gallery.
