Frequently Asked Questions
How much does grooming cost?
Prices vary depending on coat condition, size, temperament and time required. Any additional time needed may incur an extra charge, which will always be discussed with you.

Grooming times vary based on a few factors, such as:
-
Coat condition
-
Size
-
Behaviour
Most appointments take between 1.5-3 hours. I work at your dogs pace to keep the experience calm and stress free.
How often should my dog be groomed?
Most dogs benefit from grooming every 4-8 weeks, depending on their coat type, lifestyle and how much maintenance is done at home.
Do you groom puppies?
Yes! Puppy grooms are gentle, positive introductions to grooming. These sessions focus on comfort, confidence and building trust rather than perfection.
Do you groom senior dogs?
Absolutely! Senior dogs often need a little extra care and patience, so each groom is adjusted to suit their individual needs, allowing for breaks when needed and prioritising their comfort throughout the grooming process.
What if my dog is nervous/doesn’t like grooming?
Many dogs feel unsure at first, but having patience, gentle handling and breaks when needed is key.
If a groom cannot be completed safely/comfortably, I will always let you know.
Can you groom dogs with medical conditions?
Yes, as long as I’m aware prior to the groom.
Please let me know about any medical concerns, injuries, or sensitivities so I can adjust the groom accordingly.
Do you groom matted dogs?
Yes, but severe matting may require extra time and a shorter clip for your dogs comfort.
Matting can be painful, so removing it safely and carefully is always the priority.
When should I rebook?
Most clients rebook before leaving to secure their preferred time. Regular grooming helps maintain your dog’s coat and allows me to reserve ongoing appointments that suit your schedule.
