Your dog will receive an 8-point health check, bath and dry, ear clean, styling specific to coat type (clip/scissor/de-shed/hand-strip), hygiene areas, nail trim, fragrance. All done at your dog's pace keeping them calm and building a bond throughout. I offer Reiki as a complimentary treatment for those dogs who are exceptionally anxious.
Ideal for the short or smooth haired breeds, or any breed in between grooms to maintain the condition of their coat. Includes bath and dry, brush over, nail trim, hygiene trim and tidy, fragrance.
You may have a young dog who has never been groomed or indeed an older dog. This is an important part of your dog's socialisation, no matter how old to get them used to the sights, sounds, smells and experiences they will encounter during a groom. I will ease them in gently over numerous 1 hour sessions to avoid them being anxious during grooming when they are older.
Your dogs nails can grow quickly and cause discomfort and pain. It's important to keep them from getting too long. Some dogs may need a few frequent sessions to help recede the quick (blood vessel in the nail) and get their nails to an appropriate length.
"Took Bella for her nails to be clipped (which she hates). Matt was patient with her and despite her wriggling managed to clip all of her claws. Hoping to book a groom when she next needs a tidy up. Lovely chap, lovely service and a happy dog"
"Fabulous service, really good with my dog (who is usually really scared of the groomers) works on Sundays (big help when working throughout the week) great price 5*"
"Booked my Rottweiler cross in and she's had a groom within her 2nd puppy intro package. She got exited to see Matt on her 2nd visit (speaks volumes) I travel over half an hour every week for the session and I must say it's worth it. Thank you"

Every dog is different and will depend on the breed, coat type, and lifestyle. Generally, every 4-8 weeks is recommended for full grooms for most dogs, while some breeds may benefit from a Bath, Brush & Bits in between, or instead of a full groom.
Yes, I can get fully booked quickly, as do most dog groomers. To avoid disappointment it's important to book early and if possible, I recommend to book your next few grooms in advance to lock in your preferred slots. A 50% deposit is required at time of booking which can roll over to your next appointment.
The cost can vary as there is so much to consider. It will depend on the breed, size, coat type and condition, behaviour of the dog, and the time it takes. I try to give a "from" and "to" price when clients ask how much, but this can only be confirmed once the groom is complete. A 505% deposit of the "from" price is required upon booking.
Products can vary from time to time as I like to try new things and see what works well, I ensure only the best quality products are used from reputable brands.
Many dog owners come to me because I offer 1-1 grooming and Reiki which is great for nervous or anxious dogs. As I like to work at your dogs pace to keep it as stress-free as possible, this may take extra time and incur a surcharge.
It is important to socialise your puppy as soon as possible with all of the different experiences that they will encounter in their life. This should be done on a regular basis to ease them in gently and not overwhelm them from a young age. They can start as soon as they are fully vaccinated at 12 weeks.
