How Often Should You Book a Full Groom?

How Often Should You Book a Full Groom?

Most dogs with medium to long coats benefit from a full groom every six to eight weeks to prevent matting and keep the coat manageable. Shorter-coated breeds can often go longer between appointments, though regular bath-and-brush sessions still help maintain coat health.

Brushing Between Appointments: What Actually Helps

Brushing Between Appointments: What Actually Helps

Brushing your pet's coat two or three times a week between salon visits prevents tangles from tightening into mats that require more intensive work at the next groom. Use a brush suited to your pet's coat type and work through small sections rather than long strokes over the surface.

Why Nail Length Matters Beyond Looks

Why Nail Length Matters Beyond Looks

Nails that grow too long can alter the way a dog or cat distributes weight when walking, putting strain on joints over time. Keeping nails trimmed to a short, comfortable length is a simple step that supports your pet's everyday comfort and movement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What grooming services does the salon offer?

The salon provides bathing, hair trimming, coat care, nail clipping and styling. These can be booked individually or as part of a full grooming package depending on what your pet needs.

Do you groom cats as well as dogs?

Yes, the salon works with both cats and dogs. When booking for a cat, it helps to mention this in advance so the team can prepare an appropriate setup for the session.

How long does a full grooming appointment take?

A full groom typically takes between one and a half to three hours depending on the size of your pet, coat type and the specific services included. You will be contacted when your pet is ready for pick-up.

What are your opening hours and how do I book?

The salon is open Monday to Friday from 9:00 to 18:00 and Saturday from 9:00 to 17:00. It is closed on Sundays. You can book by calling the salon directly or by using the contact form on this website.

What should I bring or do to prepare my pet for their appointment?

Arrive at your scheduled time with your pet on a lead or in a carrier. If your dog has been walked beforehand, that can help them settle more quickly. Let the team know about any sensitivities, health conditions or areas your pet dislikes being touched so they can adjust their approach.
