PUPPIES FIRST GROOM
You should start 'grooming' your puppy, at home, from 8 weeks and start professional grooming around 12 to 16 weeks of age, right after they finish their second or final round of vaccinations. Waiting past 16 weeks can make them fearful of the salon, .

At-Home and Early Prep
8 weeks old: Start short, positive handling sessions at home (touching paws, ears, and tail).
10 to 12 weeks old: Introduce brief brushing with a soft brush and use treats to build a good association.

Professional Salon Visits
12 to 16 weeks old: Book an introductory "puppy introduction" groom (short bath, gentle blow-dry, and face/paw trim) once cleared by your vet after vaccinations.
6 months and older: Transition to regular full-body haircuts and maintenance grooming every 6 to 8 weeks depending on the breed..

Only good thing about this weather . . . the dogs are happier drying in the sun rather than under a blaster!!

A big, warm welcome to Roxy, the German Shepherd and Ruby, the Show Cocker. Our new clients who came for their first groom with us today.
A 10 minute sniff around and quick play session helped relax them before their groom. Then, of course, there were lots of cuddles and yummy treats during the groom. Topped off with some play and socialisation while awaiting collection made the whole visit an enjoyable experience.
Are you looking for a groomer who offers more than the traditional conveyor belt approach to grooming?

PRE & POST GROOM PLAY - I know which I prefer my dog to be doing before & after his groom!
Here at Little Legs we believe that dogs should enjoy their grooming session as much as possible. That is why we give them time to have a play before and after their groom.
