frequently asked question about
A full groom covers the bath, the dry, the brush out and the finishing work on the coat. Nails and a face tidy can be included, so tell us what you would like when you book.
Bring them in and we will look at the coat before we start, then talk you through what is realistic. Some mats brush out with a de-shed, others are better taken shorter.
We work through pets one at a time so yours has our full attention. It keeps the salon quieter and the whole thing calmer for a nervous dog.
Tell us it is their first visit when you ring and we will take it gently. Little steps early on make later grooms much easier.
