“I took my 2 cockerpoos for a groom and clip. They looked gorgeous after! You could see the time and care taken into each pup. It was a lovely experience for ALL of us, as I worried for my nervous pup. Needless to say, we will be back!”

“Jeanette is so amazing, my dog Dougal is usually a little nervous going in, but since Jeanette took over he has been more comfortable going in. His cut is beautiful and lasts ages, would highly recommend.”

“Jeanette the new owner is so lovely. She does a superb groom on my chow and Scottie’s and very reasonably priced. I wouldn’t trust my dogs with anyone else. She has a wealth of experience and it really shows in her love for the dogs and quality of service.”

“Absolutely fantastic job the groomer did today on our dog Renzo, you were so kind and gentle to Renzo who hasn’t been groomed for a while. We handed him over a very scruffy mutt, he came back beautifully groomed and smelling fresh.”

How long does a groom take?

A full groom takes around 2 hours, or 3 hours for XL breeds. I’ll give you a realistic time when you drop off and call when your dog is ready.

What should I bring?

Just your dog, on a lead or in a crate. It helps to mention any health issues or sensitivities, and how you like them finished.

Can you groom puppies?

Yes. Our puppy groom is a gentle introduction: short, calm and positive, so grooming becomes something they’re comfortable with for life. There is no minimum age or vaccination requirement.

What if my dog is nervous?

We slow everything down. Plenty of breaks, quiet handling and no rushing. If your dog needs a shorter first visit, we’ll suggest that rather than push through.

How often should my dog be groomed?

It depends on the coat. Many curly and long-coated dogs do best every 6 to 8 weeks; smooth coats need less. We’ll recommend a schedule that keeps your dog comfortable between visits.

Do you groom all breeds?

Yes, all breeds, shapes and sizes, from tiny pups to XL breeds. Dogs known to be aggressive must wear a muzzle.

Do you offer hand stripping?

Yes, for wiry-coated breeds such as Border Terriers and Schnauzers. It’s priced on request, as it depends on the breed and the condition of the coat.

What if the coat is badly matted?

Your dog’s comfort comes first. Where matting is tight to the skin, the kindest option is usually a shorter clip rather than prolonged brushing. I’ll always talk this through with you at drop off.

Can I stay while my dog is groomed?

There is no waiting room at the salon, so I ask owners to drop off and collect. Most dogs settle more quickly once their owner has left.

Do you take reactive dogs?

Yes. Please tell me in advance so I can allow extra time. Dogs known to be aggressive must be muzzled by their owner.
