Intrinsic K9 Dermacare

Skin & Coat Restoration

Helping You, Help Your Best Friend!

Many of the dogs I see have been struggling with skin problems for months—or even years. While every dog is different and no treatment can promise miracles, healthier skin is often possible when we stop chasing symptoms and start supporting the skin itself.

Watching your dog itch, chew, lick, and stay uncomfortable is frustrating

—for both of you.

Dermacare was created to help break that cycle.




What Is Dermacare?





So...what exactly is Dermacare?



The easiest way to explain it is to start with what it isn't.



Dermacare isn't just grooming with better shampoo.



It isn't just a fancy bath.



It isn't about making your dog smell nice for a week.



And it isn't a quick fix.



Dermacare is a therapeutic approach for dogs struggling with ongoing skin and coat problems.


While routine grooming helps healthy dogs stay clean and comfortable, Dermacare is designed for dogs whose skin needs something more.


The goal isn't simply to make the skin look better for a few days.

The goal is to help restore the skin's natural protective barrier, support healthy healing, and reduce the cycle of irritation that so many dogs experience. In other words, we're working to address the problem—not simply cover up the symptoms.


Every Dermacare plan is customized for the individual dog. Using a combination of specialized topical therapies, ozone therapy, and a personalized home care routine, we work together over a series of visits to improve your dog's skin and coat health.


Because healthy skin rarely happens overnight.


It happens through consistency..


Is Dermacare Right for My Dog?

Dermacare may be worth considering if your dog struggles with:

  • Chronic itching or scratching
  • Dry, flaky, or irritated skin
  • Recurrent hot spots
  • Allergies
  • Frequent ear problems
  • Dull, damaged, or thinning coat
  • Recurring skin infections
  • Skin that improves briefly, then quickly returns to the same problems

If you've tried medication, medicated shampoos, supplements, or countless products with only temporary improvement, Dermacare may be the missing piece.

Getting Started


Every dog's skin tells a different story.


That's why every Dermacare journey begins with a free skin assessment.

We'll talk about your dog's history, examine their skin and coat, discuss your concerns, and determine whether Dermacare is the right next step.


All Dermacare therapies are provided at Mary's TLC Pet Grooming.


Because every treatment plan is individualized, pricing is discussed once we've created a therapy plan that's appropriate for your dog.

Working Alongside Your Veterinarian

Dermacare is designed to complement—not replace—veterinary care.


If your dog is under the care of a veterinarian, we'll work within their recommendations and never suggest anything that conflicts with your dog's medical treatment.



My goal is simple:

To help your dog become as comfortable as possible while supporting healthier skin over the long term.

Dermacare: FAQs

  • 1. How Does Dermacare and Nutrition Go Together?

    In short, they are not mutually exclusive. What your pup is eating can have a huge effect on their skin health. While solid skin/coat care is also essential. 

  • 2. What Is Skin & Coat Restoration?

    Just like it sounds, it is  personalized skin care to help dogs with skin and coat problems. 

  • 3. Why Do You Do Both?

    Because I feel dogs deserve the best! (This is a hill I am willing to die on)  Helping them from the outside in and the inside out can get them better that much faster.

  • 4. Do You Do Regular Grooming?

    Of Course! I still love making pups (and kittys) pretty!

  • 5. If I Am Fixing My Dog's Skin With Diet, Why Add Grooming?

    Beacause tackling your pup's problems on both sides can signifigantly speed healing and immediately increase their comfort.

  • 6. But My Breed Doesn't Need Grooming Unless They Get Dirty.

    False. A dog's cellular/follicular turn over rate is every 21 days. All dogs should have at least a bath once a month. I'm not talking about those dogs whose coats require tons of brushing and frequent trims to maintain. Those beliefs of "only dirty dogs" need baths come from bathing with mediocre products resulting in a weak skin barrier.
