Wash & Go includes:
  • ​ A bath in dog friendly shampoo and/or fox poo shampoo if required.
  •  Basic drying with our high velocity hair dryer.
  • Fragrant cologne to finish
Please note the dog will not be completely dried or brushed and therefor will not have any dead coat removed, will still be wet but not dripping so must continue to be dried at home. Because the coat is not fully dried at the salon, there may be a slight smell to the dog. Click here for prices.

Bath & Tidy
If you feel your dog needs a wash and brush out in-between regular grooms, we offer a 'Bath & Tidy' where your dog will come out smelling fresh having had a wash, complete dry and a brush out. Also included is a trim around eyes and sanitary areas, clipping of underside of pads, ears cleaned and nails clipped with a fragrant cologne to finish. Some clients with doodle type dogs such as Cockerpoos or Labradoodles, find this service useful to keep on top of any matts that can form in-between scheduled regular grooms. Please not Blueberry Facials are not included in this price so this will be an add-on Spa Treatment if required. Click here for prices.

Puppy Intro
For puppies under 6 months of age, we offer a service called a 'Puppy Intro'. The earlier you can start acclimatising your puppy to being groomed the better. Providing he/she has had their vaccinations (normally around 12 weeks), they can begin their grooming routine at the salon.

The main aim is to ensure your puppy is happy and confident while being slowly introduced to all the equipment and noises he/she will come into contact with in the grooming salon to set them up for the future. 
This service includes:
  • A free consultation.
  • Table training to help the puppy understand what is required of them whilst up on a grooming table.
  • A groomers health check, where we check each animal for signs of illness or injury and alert owners to any issues found such as lumps and bumps or muscular problems.
  • A bath in dog friendly shampoo and conditioner
  • Drying and brushing out
  • Pads of paws, hair by eyes and sanitary areas trimmed
  • Nails clipping
  • Fragrant cologne as a finishing touch
We would be happy to discuss and demonstrate how to brush your puppy at home in-between professional grooms. We also have a Puppy Grooming Starter Pack containing the tools you will need at home which includes a flexible slicker brush and a wide tooth comb for only £25. Click here for prices.
​
​Hand Stripping 
We do offer hand stripping for most breeds however do reserve the right to use our discretion. Many factors effect whether a dog can be hand stripped therefor we prefer to see the dog first to assess its eligibility to be hand stripped before an appointment can be made. Please call for more information. 

Nail clipping/filing only
A dogs nails will continue to grow so unless walked regularly on surfaces such as concrete to naturally wear the nails down, nail clipping will be required. The service is included in a full groom, however can be provided as a service on its own in between regular grooms. Clipping nails can leave a sharp edge to the claw, which if your dog is prone to jumping up, can scratch. If you would like the nails filed as well as clipping to minimise this, please request it at the time of booking. Click here for prices.
