SERVICES
Grooming
We can groom your pet to breed standard or create a special look that you
and your pets busy lifestyle. We will attend to your pet straight away so
there is no waiting around. Longer stays are welcome by appointment.
Bathing
Using only the finest professional shampoo, the dog is soaked to the skin
with warm running water before the shampoo is put on. After a really good
scrub, and lots a lather. The warm water is put on again to rinse off all
the mud, grime, dirt, and dead skin! Then we repeat it all again and the
whole process in the bath can take up to 20 minutes.
Some salons will use a big sponge and a bucket of soapy water to bath the
dog, we don’t. We do it properly and the water runs through a drain
all the while so they are not standing in dirty, soapy water.
A bath only is always a great way to get rid of all that unwanted hair as
it is blasted out with a powerful Tornado 93 blaster dryer.
Conditioning
and De-flea shampoo
A special conditioning shampoo can give you dogs’ coat that extra
shine and soft feeling
Many dogs come in for a de-flea, however, it is important to de-flea your
whole house and car as the larvae live in your carpets and upholstery. They
live in your house but live off your pet!
Trimming
or Clipping
If you just want
you dog to have a tidy up, light trim with scissors, it can make a huge
difference to their appearance.
If you want it clipping, you can get a smooth look or if the dog has lots
of matt’s that have got a bit out of hand at home.
Hand
stripping
There are a few difference types of hand stripping. You can pull the hair
out with your fingers but only a few breeds can be done this way, i.e. Border
terrier, cairn terrier, Deerhound to name a few. You can also trim a dog
by hand done with scissors and look a lot less harsh than clippers.
Anal
Glands
These are checked on request at no extra cost if having a bath.
Nail
cutting
Nail cutting service needs no appointment and is a very small charge. Not
all dogs need their nails cutting when they come for a hair cut and bath
so nails are charged accordingly, that way there are no hidden extras. I
don’t charge for looking.
Hot
Oils
Available soon.
Collection
service
This is available on request within a 6 mile radius, otherwise the price
of the collection can sometimes cost as much as a bath!
