All dogs benefit from regular grooming, as it helps with keeping the coat and skin in good condition. Both long haired and short haired dogs benefit from grooming; keeping long coated dogs matt free and short coated dogs shedding less. When a dog comes in to be groomed for the first time I will discuss with the owner any requirements they have such as style of grooming, questions on grooming or if the dog has any skin problems. I also use the correct shampoo for the dog’s coat type, whether it has sensitive skin or a wire coat.

I recommend bringing most puppies in from about 14 weeks, to get the dog used to being in the salon, especially ones with long hair. Often, for the first time, it can be just a brush and tidy up if necessary. Grooming your dog between appointments will also keep your dog knot free which means less stress for your dog. I will also recommend when your dog needs to be groomed again, as this will vary from dog to dog.

I can also recommend the best type of brushes to use, how to use them and how often. We sell a small selection of brushes in The Grooming Room.

Unfortunately the summer house is currently unavailable until further notice.

I also have a summer house waiting room. So why not save time by not going home and relax with a nice cup of tea while your dog is being groomed.
