All dogs are groomed in a fully equipped salon and looked after professionally to a high standard on a one to one basis. 

​

We specialize in scissoring, clipping and hand stripping. These are all very skilled crafts and we have a lot of pride in our work. As a rule a full groom from start to finish takes between 1-2 hours, depending on the type and length of coat and the size of the animal. Hand stripping however may take anything up to 2-4 hours. Our aim is to keep owners and pets happy so we can follow any special requirement e.g. keeping yourself informed on how your dog is doing.

​

Most breeds should come into the grooming parlour every 6-8 weeks or so but poodles and bichons should be every 4–6 weeks in order to stop their coats from becoming too knotty. We recommend you bring your pet in between clips just for a brush out and a bath or tidy trim to prevent matting under their armpits and legs. Especially if he/she will not let you groom them yourself and you want their feathering left longer. Detailed records of grooming are kept after each visit .

Winter cuts

For some reason people think their pets do not need grooming during the winter months as they will be too cold! This is a misconception, if you think about it, if your pet becomes knotted and matted they will retain water making your pet even colder and staying wetter for much longer. So keeping your pet well groomed throughout the winter will not only keep them feeling and looking great but you will not have that wet “doggy” smell or heavy muddy paws and coats! We have a range of winter cuts to suit both you and your pet.

​

Puppies

Puppies should be brought into the grooming parlour as soon as possible so they can become accustomed to being bathed, dried and groomed. To give your puppy a good start in life they should have their first groom between the age of three and five months.
