When your dog visits us for a full clip he/she will receive the following treatments:

Thorough grooming – removal of all dead hair and tangles

Nail cutting – to keep the toenails neat and stop the risk of long nail catching or growing back into the pads.

Bathing – all dogs are bathed in hypoallergenic shampoo and conditioned or choose from our range of special shampoos - read on for more info.

Styling using clippers and scissors – whatever breed of dog you own we are fully trained to trim your dog to the perfect style! Feel free to speak to us about your dog’s individual needs and we will be happy to tailor a trim to suit you and your lifestyle.

HANDSTRIPPING
Handstripping is a dying art that many dog groomers no longer offer, many dog owners are having to seek help from breeders or show exhibitors. We can help - if you have a breed that is traditionally handstripped and you wish to opt for this grooming style then speak to us. We will give you an individual pricing quote and check that your dog has a suitable coat.

MOT’S are ideal if you do not want your dog’s coat to be cut shorter during the colder weather but you would still like your dog to have a clean and healthy shine! Or perhaps in-between full clips as a treat/spruce up.

SALON HOURS
Open 9.00 – 5.30 pm Monday to Thursday

Your dog’s day:
On arrival your dog will be settled into his/her purpose built holding pen in the grooming salon with some fleece bedding and water – this will give the dog on opportunity to settle into the surroundings and relax before we begin.

Your dog will then be groomed, clipped were applicable and have toenails trimmed and ears cleaned.

Before bathing we will take dogs for a short walk in our own grass exercise area.

Now your dog will be bathed and dried.

The morning’s activities will no doubt be tiring and dogs are now allowed time to rest/sleep in their holding pens.

If your dog is usually fed during the day – why not bring the food along and we will offer your dog a meal at lunchtime.

After a chance for a rest dogs are walked again and then the scissor finishing is done – to finish with all dogs have their coats groomed through with Evening Primrose Finishing Spray and go back to their pens to rest until you arrive to collect them.

We find that this system works well for the dogs that visit our salon as they are given time to accustom to their surroundings and we can take our time with the trims.

Visiting the grooming parlour can be a little overwhelming for some dogs and if they are not having to be rushed and are given ample opportunity to rest the day is an enjoyable experience rather than a stressful one!

To ensure we have enough time to spend on each dog that we groom we ask that owners pick their dogs up after 4pm. If you need to collect your dog earlier for any reason then this should not be a problem but you must organise a suitable time in advance of the appointment day.

Dogs must be collected by 5.30pm.

Puppies are welcome to the salon as soon as they have completed their vaccinations. A MOT would be a brilliant option to accustom your new puppy to the grooming processes – sooner the better, don’t leave it too late -this is an essential part of their education!

Alternatively you can arrange to bring your puppy for the Puppy sitting service – this basically means that you leave your new puppy with us for a short time [1hr approx.] We will settle your pup in a holding pen and he/she will be able to familiarise with the sights and sounds of a grooming parlour – don’t forget to bring puppies favourite toy!
