Happy Easter! We’ve had a lovely quiet morning grooming these three beauties, winding down to our Easter break.
We will be closed now until Wednesday 23rd April @ 9am.

This gentle boy has mobility issues so some of his groom is done whilst he lays on the floor, especially around his feet so that he doesn’t have to stand on 3 legs for any length of time.
We adapt our grooming to suit your dog. He was very happy to eat treats afterwards (excuse his nose, it’s slathered in nose balm!)

WHAT YOU DON'T SEE AT THE DOG GROOMERS.......
You dropped your dog off at the salon and picked them up few hours later - fluffy, fresh, and happy. But what you saw was just the tip of the iceberg.

You didn’t see your groomer arrive early to open up the salon, disinfect tools, lay out fresh towels, and check the day’s appointments. You didn’t see them look over your dog from nose to tail before even lifting a brush - checking the coat condition, skin, eyes, ears, nails, and weight.

You didn’t see the careful way they clipped around a wriggly paw, or how they paused to let your dog calm down during the bath. You didn’t notice the matting hidden beneath your dog’s topcoat, or the way the groomer worked slowly to avoid hurting the skin beneath it.

You weren’t there when they spotted a red patch of irritated skin, or a small lump you hadn’t noticed. You heard them gently mention it to you at collection - not to worry you, but because they genuinely care about your dog’s wellbeing.

And after you left, you didn’t see the clean-down , the floor swept, tables cleaned, blades oiled, messages replied to, notes written up for your next visit, and laundry on again.

All of that… for a price that’s often lower than what you’d pay for your own haircut. And your hairdresser?
They don’t have to bathe you, clip your nails, or hold you still while you try to bite the brush.

The truth is ……. dog grooming is so much more than a haircut.

It’s about health, hygiene, comfort, and trust. It’s about knowing dog anatomy, coat types, skin conditions, behaviour management, handling skills, and safe sc******ng techniques. It’s a profession that takes training, practice, and patience.
Most groomers got into this work because they love dogs. But that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be paid fairly for the physical, emotional, and skilled work they do every single day.

If your dog leaves their groomer happy, healthy and looking good - it’s not by luck. It’s because you have got a good groomer.
So next time, take a moment to thank them. Leave a review.

Tip them if you can. And above all - don’t undervalue them.
They’re doing far more than just washing the dog.

He’s a little bit shy, but he’s looking a whole lot neater after his handstrip today.
Check out his nails too - do you know we offer a free nail trim mid-groom for all our Customers, as well as a pop in service for nail trimming if you’re not a regular customer? When a dogs’ nails touch the floor they push back in to the foot bones and can make walking uncomfortable. A quick nail trim every 4-8 weeks can keep on top of this and keep your dog feeling tip-top!

This Bearded Collie loves life to the full. It was becoming difficult to keep her in a full coat so we’ve gone for a longer length trim for easier home maintenance.

Did you know we offer Ultrasonic Teeth Cleaning?

The combination of nano bubble toothpaste and an ultrasonic toothbrush create thousands of tiny micro bubbles that implode in contact with teeth and gums, therefore loosening the stubborn build up of plaque and tartar.

A much less invasive procedure requiring no anaesthesia, no vibrations, noise or scrubbing!

Available for all clients, new and existing 🐾
