Nails clipping

Nail care clipping every 4-6 weeks is very important. The amount of time between nail trims depends on how quickly your dog's nails grow and how quickly they are worn down. The average dog should have his nails clipped every three to four weeks, but it should be done as often as needed to keep the nail from touching the ground when your dog is standing.

PUPPY INTRODUCTION

We offer introductory puppy pampering grooming sessions so that your puppy can gradually get used to the process and we can explain how you can care for his/her coat at home in between visits to the salon. * 1st Visit (Aged between 12-15 Weeks) £20 * 2nd Visit (Aged between 16-19 Weeks) £25 * 3rd Visit (From 20-24 Week old) £30 we advice at least 2/3 puppy introductions An adult groom can be carried out from the age of 6-9 months £35 12 months groom £40 What’s included: *starting from 30-45 minute session depending on age requirements and each individual dogs’ tolerance. A puppy groom can last up to 1.5 hours. This enables the groomer to take things at the puppy’s pace. It’s important not to rush and to introduce the salon experience in a calm and fun way because it's a great place to be! *we introduce the puppy to the bathing area. This is a secure bath tub with a gentle shower. Shampoo is diluted in lukewarm water and worked through the coat. Once rinsed we introduce them to a low pressure dryer. If the puppy is concerned at first we will pop a little hood over the ears to muffle the sound. Once the puppy is relaxed, we can remove the hood and carry on with the drying process. Longer coats can be brushed out with a soft slicker brush once they are dry. We gently clean the puppy’s ears and trim their nails. We like to file the nails as well, as this leaves them rounded and smooth. To finish, we like to use a natural spritz, and take a photo of your now salon-perfect puppy.

Dog Walking / 1h Home visit

Some dogs are not able to join in the fun at daycare and are better suited to a visit from us in your own home. This maybe because you have a puppy who is too young or your dog is happier with home comforts. These dogs still enjoy company and a visit from us that can break up their day while you are out. We can take them out to relieve themselves, play a game, feed, brush and make a fuss of your pooch, leaving them happy to have seen a friendly face. All walks will last a minimum 45 min – this does not include any travelling time from your home.
