What's included

The freshen up between full grooms, with a proper bath, brush out and tidy.

  • Health check: Ears, eyes, skin, nails and paws checked before we start.
  • Brush out and light de-mat: Loose coat and small tangles lifted so the bath reaches the skin.
  • Warm double shampoo bath and conditioner: Gentle, dog safe products, with conditioner where the coat needs it.
  • Hand blow dry: Dried by hand, no cage dryers, so the coat is fluffy and straight.
  • Eyes, face and beard tidy: Tidied so eyes stay clear and the face looks fresh.
  • Feet and pads trimmed: Paws neat and the hair between the pads taken back.
  • Hygiene areas tidied: Sanitary areas kept clean and comfortable.
  • Nails clipped and filed: Smooth and safe, no catching.
  • Ears cleaned: Cleaned out and checked.
  • Finishing spritz: A light spritz to finish.

Questions, answered

About an hour and a half depending on size and coat.

No body clipping, just face, feet and hygiene. For a haircut book a full groom.

Every 3 to 4 weeks between full grooms, or every 6 to 8 weeks on its own for short coats.

Yes, ask when you book and I'll price it.

Yes, a deep clean shampoo sorts it.

A little. For heavy moulters book the de-shedding treatment.

No, it's one dog at a time in a quiet room.

Yes. We go at their pace and take breaks. Tell me at booking so I can allow extra time.

No, please don't. Bathing a coat with tangles in it makes them worse.
