It’s only the best for our precious pooch.

The owners of Chien Zen take a refreshingly holistic approach with their pet spa. All treatments (from $50) start with a skin and hair assessment, followed by therapeutic touch therapy focusing on Poochie’s pressure points, and an aromatherapy massage using essential oils. Doggie’s nails are clipped and filed (so no scratched up floors) then treated with paw protection butter homemade from organic beeswax, coco butter and Vitamin E. We love that this animal oasis sells eco-friendly, locally-sourced toys and doesn’t smell one hair like dog.

Bow wow, indeed.
