Full groom
Bath, blow-dry, full clip or scissor finish, ears, nails, sanitary trim and a good brush-out. Breed standard or whatever length suits your walks.
What I do
Grooming, at your dog's pace
Nervous, elderly, or never been clipped before? Say so when you ring — we can take it in stages over a couple of visits and nobody minds.
Bath & tidy
Wash, dry, feet, face and feathering tidied, nails done. Keeps things comfortable when a full clip isn't due yet.
Puppy introduction
A short, gentle first visit. Bath, dry, a little trim and lots of stopping for fuss — the aim is that they leave thinking this place is fine.
Hand-stripping
Coat pulled by hand rather than clipped, so the harsh top coat and colour stay as they should. Takes longer, priced by the hour.
De-shed treatment
Deep bath, high-velocity dry and undercoat rake for huskies, collies, labs and anything else redecorating your house in fur.
Nails, ears & feet
Ten minutes, no appointment needed most afternoons. Handy if clipping nails at home has become a two-person job.
Prices
What it costs
Priced by size and coat, not by breed. If your dog is badly matted it takes longer and I'll tell you the difference before I start — never after.
