Lime Lab Zone — Pet Grooming & Care in Shibuya, Tokyo

Dog being groomed on a table at Lime Lab Zone

We believe grooming should feel like a spa day, not a chore — for your pet and for you.

From first-time puppy baths to full breed-standard haircuts, our certified groomers take the time to understand your pet's temperament, coat and health needs before any tool touches their fur. Every visit ends with a calmer, cleaner, more comfortable companion.

What We Offer

Complete care, under one roof

Every service is tailored to your pet's breed, age and coat condition.

Breed-Standard Haircuts

Precision trims and styling for dogs and cats, matched to breed standards or your preferred look. We discuss the finish you want, then shape the coat with careful attention around the face, paws and sanitary areas. You leave with simple brushing guidance for keeping the style fresh at home.

Bathing & De-shedding

Gentle, hypoallergenic shampoos and thorough de-shedding treatments for a soft, healthy coat. We select products for your pet's skin and coat, work through knots patiently, and finish with a warm, comfortable dry. It is a practical reset for shedding season and city dust.

Nail, Ear & Paw Care

Careful nail trimming, ear cleaning and paw pad care to keep your pet comfortable every day. Our groomers explain what they notice and adjust their handling for sensitive paws or ears. This focused visit is ideal when your pet needs maintenance without a full haircut.

Natural Spa Treatments

Oatmeal soaks, paw balms and calming aromatherapy for a truly relaxing spa experience. These gentle extras are chosen around your pet's comfort, skin condition and tolerance for handling. Add them to a regular groom when your companion needs a quieter, more restorative visit.

Grooming Packages

Choose the right package

Prices shown are starting rates and may vary by size, breed and coat condition.

Full grooming package — freshly groomed poodle

Full Grooming Package

Bath, blow-dry, haircut, nail trim, ear cleaning and finishing spritz. We begin with a coat and temperament check, then tailor the finish to your pet's breed, lifestyle and comfort. A calm handover includes notes for keeping the coat manageable between visits.

Bath and brush

Bath & Brush

Deep-cleansing bath, blow-dry and de-shedding brush-out for a soft, tangle-free coat. It is a thoughtful reset for pets who are between haircuts or carrying extra undercoat through the season. Your groomer will recommend a home brushing rhythm based on the finished coat.

Nail trim and ear clean

Nail Trim & Ear Clean

Quick, gentle nail trimming and ear cleaning — ideal for regular upkeep between full grooms. We take time to settle your pet before handling delicate areas and stop whenever they need a pause. It is a useful maintenance visit for active dogs, indoor cats and older companions.

Cat spa package

Cat Spa Package

Cat-safe bath, gentle brushing, nail trim and calming aromatherapy wind-down. The appointment is paced around your cat's signals, with quiet handling and secure towel work from start to finish. We also share advice for reducing mats and making future grooming feel familiar.

Puppy intro groom

Puppy Intro Groom

A short, positive first grooming session designed to build comfort and trust. Puppies meet the tools gradually, experience gentle touch around paws and ears, and receive plenty of quiet breaks. We finish only what feels appropriate and suggest the next small step for home practice.

Mobile grooming visit

Mobile Grooming Visit

A full grooming session delivered to your home within central Tokyo, for pets who prefer familiar surroundings. Our mobile setup brings the same coat care, tools and low-stress process to a place your companion already knows. We confirm parking and preparation details before the appointment so the visit stays smooth.

The Lime Lab Zone Difference

Made for anxious pets and busy owners

Thoughtful details make the experience easier to fit into real life, from a quiet appointment room to practical follow-up care at home.

One-on-one attention keeps the room quiet and the pace personal. Your pet is never treated as part of a production line, so the groomer can respond to small signs of stress before they grow.

Flexible morning, evening and weekend slots make regular care easier to maintain. We help you choose a rhythm that works around workdays, school runs and the natural needs of your pet's coat.

Optional mobile grooming visits across central Tokyo bring the service to a familiar doorway. This can be especially helpful for senior pets, cats who dislike travel, or households with more than one animal.

A free post-groom check-in call gives you a clear handover, not just a quick collection. We explain what went well, what your pet found difficult and which home-care habits will support the next visit.
