Wondering about your appointment with us? Or anything else dog grooming or wellness related?<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text]
Most dogs really enjoy being groomed. However, whilst some dogs seem to just tolerate grooming rather than enjoying it, others really hate being brushed and will make it very difficult for you to do this, which can be a serious problem if your dog has the type of coat that really needs grooming regularly, like curly coats.<\/p>\n
Please don\u2019t let this put you off bringing your dog to the groomers. We are skilled in handling and building up dogs confidence and tolerance at being groomed. We even recommend that these dogs come in MORE frequently otherwise they could become matted, and this will make them dislike being groomed even more as grooming pulls, pinch\u2019s and twists on the matted skin.<\/p>\n

Read our blog here on the physical and mental benefits of having dogs groomed<\/u><\/a>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”How often should I get my dog groomed?” tab_id=”1551102193839-2ddc55fa-5c31″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n How often you should get your dog groomed depends greatly on the breed, their condition, lifestyle and activity levels- as often as every four weeks is necessary for some dogs, while once or twice a year is fine for others.<\/span><\/p>\n With so many factors, there\u2019s too much information to put on one page ask one of our friendly team for advice.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”When can my puppy come in for her first groom?” tab_id=”1551102319431-1ee4d420-2c31″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n It’s best to start at a young age so they get used to coming to the parlour. We recommend from 12 weeks, this way they\u2019ve had all their vaccinations so they won\u2019t pick up any illnesses. Puppies under 12 weeks can also be injured very easily from twisting about, so its a good idea to let their joints strengthen up.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”How long will my dog be with you?” tab_id=”1551102458015-c60b3b06-6e48″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n We generally say allow 2 to 3 hours or 3 to 4 hours for larger, hairy dogs but the groomer will advise you on the day when you drop them off. Times can vary slightly because of the nature of our work we can often run behind. We will always try and ring you and give you a heads up if we think we are really behind\u2026 We are pretty flexible though and happy for you to leave them with us longer if you have school runs, shopping to do etc…<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Can I stay with my dog?” tab_id=”1563785051626-b3be4994-ee8c”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Unfortunately because we are based within a veterinary practice we are not set up for viewing. But we have found that doggies can be too distracted by owners, causing them to wiggle around lots, and risk being injured when we are scissoring and clipping! Rest assured your babies are in good hands and we are planning on doing vlogs to offer more transparency in the parlour.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”My dogs in season can she still be groomed?” tab_id=”1563785127478-d075eead-a336″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Yes that\u2019s fine, we keep all dogs separate. Just try and let us know in advance if you notice so we can try and ensure there aren\u2019t any non-neutered dogs in. Sometimes particularly sensitive bitches can become extremely hormonal during heat, in these circumstances we would advise waiting until they are less sensitive. <\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”My bitch is pregnant can she still be groomed?” tab_id=”1563785417056-101c998d-e56a”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n We would asses individual cases. In general, we wouldn\u2019t advise it. However, if the dog is suffering eg. compacted fur\/matting etc… we would act in the dogs best interests.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”How much does grooming cost?” tab_id=”1563785501886-7325eeba-0767″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Pricing varies so much from breeds to coat type and condition, behaviour etc Check out our packages<\/u><\/a><\/strong> and price list.<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”I can\u2019t afford to get my dog groomed” tab_id=”1563786181214-a5fdd679-e738″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n We understand that dogs expenses can start adding up, wormers, food, vet\u2026 Groomers have well structured price lists which reflect the skill and training needed but different groomers can vary in price.<\/span><\/p>\n You could shop around for a cheaper groomer, this doesn\u2019t mean they are bad, possibly just that their overheads are low.<\/span><\/p>\n Ultimately we never want to see a dog suffer, especially for financial reasons.
