I actively encourage clients to visit me to discuss their specific requirements. While I'm happy to finish a dog to breed standard, I understand the personal needs of owners and their varying preferences. When your dog is in my care, they will be treated as part of the family and will enjoy the use of my secure garden and have a safe, cool place to sleep until collection. Having your pet groomed i
s essential for their continued good health and they benefit from essential maintenance which keeps them clean and tangle free. Grooming can also help improve circulation and muscle tone, making a real difference to your pet’s health. I always treat other people’s dogs the same way as I treat my own. Dogs in my care have access to water, treats and given frequent breaks. The Barker Lounge offers a full-range of services designed to give your dog the best care possible. Depending on their needs, I can tailor my service list to make sure they get all the attention they deserve. Please note, all prices are a guide only and could increase depending on the dog's size, coat type/condition and extra costs for de-matting. Prices will be discussed during your grooming consultation. Bath & Blowdry

Mud Baths
Mud has many benefits for your dog. It can soothe irritations by removing dead irritated skin. It can soothe hot spots. The mud applied to your dogs coat during the bath can help moisturize the skin and remove dandruff. Price - TBC
Blueberry Facial
Mild, lightly foaming cleanser that soothes and balances your dogs skin. New studies show blueberries can slow down the aging process in several species by repairing DNA damage and modifying genes associated with aging, which produces significantly longer life span. It further reduces the risk of cells becoming cancerous and aid in the prevention of cognitive decline in aging dogs. Price - TBC

Time
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO FULLY GROOM MY DOG? Time for a full groom is dependent on several factors including breed, age, temperament and coat type and condition. I will be able to advise you when you bring your dog in when to expect a call or text to let you know they are ready to collect
Appointments
IS THIS A WALK-IN SERVICE? Due to demand, all grooming appointments must be booked in advance. I recommend making your dog’s appointment a few weeks in advance to ensure you get the date and time you need. Nails
CAN I MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE MY DOGS NAILS CLIPPED? This is a complimentary service when booked in for a groom. If your dog doesn’t allow me to trim the nails due to being aggressive/ biting, then unfortunately I will be unable to complete this part of the groom. Matting
MY DOGS COAT IS MATTED. WILL YOU SHAVE OFF THE COAT? I will always try to avoid clipping a dog’s coat off unless completely necessary. Occasionally, when possible I will endeavour to de-matt the coat providing the process is deemed suitable and will not cause stress or discomfort to your dog for long periods of time. Your pet’s welfare is my number one priority at all times. I will be able to assess the coat and determine how best to proceed on initial consultation. DOES HAND STRIPPING HURT? Many people believe that the hand stripping process is painful. Since the coat that is being removed is already dead there is no pain associated with the process at all. Once they become accustomed to the routine, most dogs will take a nap on the table. THE SMALL PRINT
All add-on’s are at an additional cost on top of the standard grooming cost. Please check with me for the final price. Prices are reviewed annually and may vary depending on the condition of the coat and the dog's temperament. Payment can be taken by Cash, Bank Transfer, PayPal or card and must be made on collection of the dog. Pets must be fit and healthy and walked prior to their appointments and any changes to their overall health status must be reported to me prior to your visit. I will not be held responsible for irritation, abrasion, patchiness or hair loss due to any pre-existing skin condition, or as a result of the process of grooming, de-matting, thinning, stripping or shaving. Photographs may be taken of the dog for my records. These images may be used in publicity and advertising, including social media & websites. Please inform me if you would not like your pet’s image to be used on social media, prior to the appointment. I reserve the right to refuse a dog that presents a risk of injury to me or itself.
