What Happens During a Groom
01 – Initial Consultation and Coat Check
We start with a consultation and coat check, where we discuss your dog’s temperament, needs and any preferences for grooming style. We also check your dog’s coat and assess the services required.
02 – Brushing and Prep
The first step in the grooming process is to brush your dog’s coat, evening out the fur, removing any debris and loosening knots so we can get a clear picture of which areas need attention.
03 – Bath With Appropriate Products
We only use high-quality, pet-safe shampoos and conditioners tailored to your dog’s coat and skin, ensuring a fresh, comfortable clean. If your dog has any allergies or sensitivities, just let us know; we’re always happy to use alternatives.
04 – Drying
After bathing, we thoroughly dry your dog using specialist hand-operated, low-heat dryers. We never use drying cages and ensure the most comfortable experience possible, especially where older or more anxious dogs are concerned.
05 – Styling
Once your dog’s fur is dry, we begin styling. We’ll carefully shape their coat to match their breed as well as your preferences. We also ensure delicate hygiene trimming in key areas to keep them healthy and fresh.
Final Check
Finally, we check your dog’s coat and general wellbeing. This acts as a quality control step for our services, but also helps us identify any early warning signs of emerging health conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should my dog be groomed?
It depends on the breed and coat type. Long-haired or double-coated dogs may need grooming every 4–6 weeks, while short-haired dogs can go longer between grooms. Regular grooming keeps the coat healthy and helps prevent matting and skin issues.
Do you groom all breeds?
Yes, we work with all breeds and mixed breeds. Whether it's a Poodle, Cocker Spaniel, German Shepherd or Labrador, we tailor the grooming process to suit your dog's specific coat and temperament.
What if my dog has never been groomed before?
We happily cater to dogs who have never been groomed before. Just let your groomer know during your consultation. We'll tailor our approach to ensure a calm, comfortable first grooming experience and use positive reinforcement throughout the session.
How long does a grooming appointment take?
Our dog grooming appointments vary in length depending on the size, breed and temperament of your dog, as well as the service requested. Typically, appointments last between 1 and 4 hours. We can provide a more accurate timeframe during your consultation.
What are your prices?
Our pricing is based on your dog's size, coat condition and breed requirements. Every grooming session includes a pre-groom consultation so we can assess what's needed. You'll always receive a clear quote before any work begins.
