Services
Dog Grooming
Our comprehensive dog grooming service includes breed-specific styling, bathing with premium shampoos, nail trimming, and coat maintenance. We cater to all breeds from small terriers to large standard poodles, using professional techniques that prioritise animal comfort. Our experienced groomers create customised grooming plans to maintain your pet's hygiene and appearance while ensuring a stress-free experience.
Grooming Training
We offer nationally recognised dog grooming qualifications including iPet Level 3 Diplomas and City & Guilds accredited courses. Our practical training programs range from 4-week intensive courses to 7-week comprehensive programs, covering all aspects of professional grooming. Students learn under award-winning instructors using industry-standard equipment in our purpose-built training facility.
De-matting Service
Our careful de-matting service addresses localized matting issues using pain-free techniques that comply with animal welfare regulations. We assess each dog individually to determine if de-matting is appropriate, using specialist tools and methods that prioritise the animal's comfort. This service is available for clients whose pets require specific coat maintenance attention.
Puppy Grooming
We introduce puppies to grooming procedures after vaccination completion, focusing on positive experiences that build confidence. Our gentle approach includes gradual familiarisation with grooming equipment and basic maintenance procedures. This early introduction helps establish lifelong grooming habits while making the experience enjoyable for young dogs.
Hand Stripping
Specialist hand stripping techniques remove dead coat hairs to maintain healthy wire-haired coats. This traditional method preserves coat texture and promotes proper growth patterns. Our qualified groomers perform this labour-intensive service with expertise, ensuring comfort for the dog while achieving optimal coat condition and appearance.
