Our Services

Unfortunately we are not currently taking on new canine clients

 

Prices reflect the expertise, care, our time, investment of equipment & continued training development that goes into producing a groom that is right for each dog. It will also depend on coat type & condition, style required, temperment of your dog & the density of undercoat to be removed. The prices shown are intended as a 'from' guide price based upon dogs that are regularly groomed according to the breed intervals.

As part of the groom price small knots & tangles will be dealt with during the full groom prep, however unkept coats resulting in matting & poor condition will incur an additional cost of £10 up-to the maximum of 20 minutes to remove isolated matts & knots. 

 

Any extreme cases of matting will result in partial or complete coat removal (with your consent) to relieve your dogs suffering caused by the matted hair.

This will incur an additional charge of £15 onto top of the grooming price to cover wear & tear on our tools & equipment and the additional time taken to remove the matts.

 

You will need to look after your dogs coat between grooms, we are happy to show you the correct tools and methods.

 

Difficult, aggressive & overweight dogs may incur additional charges.

 

We do not groom pregnant bitches.

It helps if your dog has had a walk before his/her appointment, this will help by using some of their energy, gives them an opportunity to 'empty' & free off stiff joints and therefore they will be more relaxed during the grooming session.

Likewise prompt collection of your dog once you have been advised they are ready would be greatly appreciated, the next dog or cat due in may not always be as well socialised with other dogs as yours is!! In this circumstance we may have to crate your dog for its own safety until your arrival.
