FAQ
-
How often should my dog be professionally groomed?
Most dogs benefit from professional grooming every 4–8 weeks, depending on their coat type, breed, lifestyle, and how often they’re brushed at home. Long-haired and curly-coated breeds (like Cavoodles, Poodles, and Spaniels) usually need more frequent appointments to maintain coat health and prevent matting.
-
What’s included in a full grooming session?
A premium full groom typically includes:
Bath with quality shampoo and conditioner, foaming berry facial, blow dry, haircut to breed standard or owner preference, nail trim and file, ear cleaning, hygiene trim, paw tidy, brush-out and a light spritz of doggie cologne.
-
How do you ensure my dog is safe and comfortable during grooming?
I prioritise safety by using gentle handling techniques, sanitised tools, slip-proof grooming tables, and secure restraints that keep dogs stable without causing stress. Breaks are offered when needed, and I always monitor your dog’s behaviour, skin, and body language throughout the appointment.
-
Can you work with anxious or sensitive dogs?
Absolutely. I understand that every dog has their own personality and comfort level. When I’m working with nervous or sensitive pets, I take extra time to help them feel safe by using slow introductions, gentle handling, low-noise equipment, and lots of reassurance. I’m also happy to adjust the appointment by making sessions shorter or more frequent if that’s what your dog needs.
-
How can I keep my dog’s coat healthy between grooming appointments?
Regular brushing (daily or several times a week depending on coat type) is essential, especially for long-haired or curly-coated dogs. Keeping the coat clean, checking for knots early, using appropriate detangling sprays, and following maintenance advice will help your dog stay comfortable and reduce matting.
-
Why does my dog’s groom take longer at a high-quality salon?
Top-tier grooming is never rushed. I take the time to properly prep your dog’s coat, ensure even clipping and scissoring, check nails, clean ears, and give your dog plenty of reassurance throughout the process. I focus on detail, coat health, and overall comfort — which means the appointment may take a little longer, but it results in a far better experience and a beautiful, high-quality finish.
