A gentler fresh start
Thoughtful care, from wash to finish.
A wash should use a dog-appropriate shampoo, careful rinsing and drying suited to their coat. Brushing and trimming needs vary: discuss their coat, comfort and handling with your chosen groomer before agreeing a service.
These images illustrate grooming care, not a confirmed local team or premises. Online enquiries and bookings are currently closed.

For your good dog
A little preparation goes a long way.
Before choosing any groomer, discuss your dog’s coat, handling needs and any relevant health concerns. Ask the groomer to confirm the right service, total price, appointment length and exact premises before you travel.
