Pamper your furry friend with our grooming expertise - because every tail deserves a wag and a well-groomed swagger

Every dog is different and each coat has its own specific grooming requirements.

Over the centuries, dog hair has adapted to both evolutionary needs, and changes to environment, in most breeds you will find an outer layer of hair, and an under layer, called the undercoat.

A combination of brushing and combing your furry friend’s coat on a regular basis has multiple benefits. Firstly, it collects the dead hair that has settled on their skin and can prevent annoying knots or matting. Secondly, it can improve circulation, much like a massage. And thirdly, taking care of your dog’s grooming needs strengthens the bond between you.

Dogs need to be brushed every single day, or every other day at minimum.

Additionally, dogs require grooming appointments to check their ears and nails.

It is important to get your puppy used to the grooming process as soon as possible, so as to show them it can be an enjoyable experience. In fact, unlike adult dogs, puppies face new experiences far more easily, just like children! This is why they get used ti bathroom training right away.

Getting the dog used to coming into contact with water in the first few months of life can be very useful with it being such an important period in the animal’s psychological development. A full grooming experience will entail not only a bath, but plenty of brushing, loud hair drying, and much more. With a handful of treats and a whole lot of patience, you’ll see them skip out the door (and in… hopefully). We aim always to provide a stress free environment for your dog, and coupled with the above, our professional groomers ensure the safety and well being of your beloved pet whilst in our care. But you don’t need an appointment to get some advice, as foremost, we are animal lovers priding ourselves being a support - no strings attached. So why not pop in? We’d love to see you!
