    This service focuses on cleanliness, hygiene, and light coat maintenance, helping your dog stay fresh and well-presented without a full restyle.

    What’s included:

    Bath & Light Brush
    A gentle bath using pet-safe products selected for your dog’s coat and skin, followed by brushing to remove loose hair, surface dirt, and minor tangles.

  • Our Bath, Brush & Blow Dry service is a refreshing grooming appointment designed to cleanse and maintain your dog’s coat without the need for trimming or styling. It’s ideal for keeping coats healthy, comfortable, and well-managed between full grooming visits.

    This service is particularly beneficial after muddy walks, during seasonal shedding, or whenever your dog needs a professional clean without a haircut.

    What’s included:

    Coat Cleanse & Brush
    A thorough bath using high-quality, pet-safe products chosen to suit your dog’s coat and skin, followed by brushing to remove surface dirt, loose hair, and light tangles.

    Your dog is gently dried using hand-held, low-heat dryers to ensure comfort and reduce stress. Cage drying is never used.

    Detailed Comb-Through
    Once dry, the coat is carefully combed to remove remaining knots or undercoat build-up, leaving it smooth, soft, and free from tangles.

    Light Finishing Spritz
    A subtle, dog-safe fragrance is applied to leave your dog smelling fresh and clean.

    Ideal for:

    • Short-coated or low-maintenance breeds

    • Dogs that do not require clipping or styling

    • Maintaining coat condition and cleanliness between full grooms

  • Our De-Shedding Treatment is designed to manage heavy shedding and support long-term coat health by safely removing loose undercoat before it spreads around your home. This service is ideal for dogs that shed heavily year-round or experience seasonal coat changes.

    By targeting excess undercoat and dead hair, de-shedding helps reduce ongoing shedding, improve airflow to the skin, and leave coats lighter, healthier, and easier to maintain.

    We offer two de-shedding options, selected based on your dog’s coat type, condition, and individual needs.

    Wet De-Shedding Treatment

    A comprehensive treatment that combines deep cleansing with intensive coat release.

    What’s included:

    Bath & Initial Brush
    A thorough bath using warm water and gentle brushing to loosen dirt, dead hair, and undercoat.

    Specialist De-Shedding Cleanse
    A professional de-shedding shampoo designed to release trapped undercoat while conditioning the skin and coat.

    High-Velocity Drying
    Powerful yet controlled drying to lift the coat and release loose hair effectively.

    Focused De-Shedding Session
    Targeted use of professional de-shedding tools to safely remove excess undercoat without damaging the top coat.

    Best suited for:
    Double-coated breeds such as Huskies, Labradors, German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers, and similar coat types.

    Dry De-Shedding Treatment

    An efficient option for coat maintenance without bathing.

    What’s included:

    Blow-Out & Brush
    High-velocity drying to dislodge loose hair, followed by detailed brushing to remove undercoat and surface shedding.

    Targeted Coat Work
    Use of specialist tools to reduce excess hair, prevent matting, and support ongoing coat management.

    Best suited for:
    Dogs recently bathed, dogs sensitive to frequent bathing, or those needing a maintenance de-shed between full treatments.

  • Our Puppy Groom is a gentle, confidence-building introduction to professional grooming, designed specifically for young dogs. Early grooming experiences play an important role in helping puppies feel relaxed and comfortable with handling, setting the foundation for positive grooming visits throughout their lives.

    Each puppy appointment is unhurried and adapted to your puppy’s temperament, allowing them to gradually become familiar with the sights, sounds, and routines of the salon in a calm and reassuring way.

    What’s included:

    Gentle Bath & Brush
    A light cleanse using mild, puppy-safe products suitable for sensitive skin, followed by gentle brushing to remove loose hair and small tangles.

    Soft Hand Dry
    Puppies are dried carefully using low-noise, hand-held dryers, with time taken to help them adjust to the sensation. Cage drying is never used.

    Nail Care
    Nails are lightly trimmed and rounded to support healthy paw development and prevent discomfort.

    Light Hygiene Tidy
    Careful trimming around key areas, including the face, paw pads, and hygiene areas, to maintain cleanliness while preserving a natural puppy appearance.

    Our Puppy Groom focuses on reassurance, patience, and trust, helping your puppy build positive associations with grooming from the very beginning.
