Katie
I have been grooming for nearly 3 years now and really enjoy it. I've always loved dogs and to work with them everyday is purely the best job! I have completed a level 2 and level 3 animal care/management course at college, and currently doing a dog grooming Continuing Professional Development course to expand my knowledge and to progress with grooming. I have my own cavapoo, called Toby, who I love to be around and to take on different walks. I also have two budgies, that have lived with us for about 4 years.
Services
We offer numerous services in our salon and the list on this page is not all-inclusive of what we do. We take our time to discuss what our clients want and expect of us and do our absolute best to give the dog an enjoyable experience! However our standard groom includes the following:
- Mini Health Check
- Teeth & Gum Gel Treatment
- Ear Wash
- Blueberry Facial Wash
- Hydrobath with Suitable shampoo and conditioner
- Dried
- Nail & Pad Trim
- Hygiene Trim
- Scissor & Clip to your style requirements
- Foam oral treatment
Grooming your dog starts with a good regime at home. A weekly brush through and health check will do wonders for your bonding and will make the grooming experience with us more pleasurable for your dog. We are here to give free advice on how to brush and check over your dog.
From our experience the earliest a puppy starts coming to the groomers the better it is for the puppy, the owner and the groomer. It gives your puppy a chance to the experience of the sights, sounds and smells of the groomers and get used to the grooming process. This really does help in the long term and it is most likely that if you're reading this you dog will end up being a frequent visitor to the groomers. We offer free introductory appointments. These would then lead on to puppy baths, puppy bath with feet and face trims then puppy bath and styling.
The final price charged will depend on the actual size of the dog, coat length, degree of matting, time since last groomed and to some extent behaviour. If you require a firm final price, please ask for an estimate or quotation prior to grooming when we meet your dog to discuss your exact requirements. In this respect it would always be advisable to book a Pre Groom Assessment before the actual groom so that we can give you an accurate price.
