Most grooming appointments will include all of these services.

 

Anal Gland Expression

If you've noticed your dog itching, licking or rubbing their bottoms along the ground (called "scooting"), it's most likely that your dog has impacted anal glands.

By manually emptying the glands your dog will feel instant comfort and relief as those nasty symptoms subside.

 

Bathing

Skin and coat condition will be assessed, then specially tailored to, with our exclusive Pet Esthe range of luxurious shampoos and conditioners or another from our optionals bathing range depending on your dogs skin, coat condition and requirements.

Your dog's coat will be massaged from head to tail, then rinsed off with warm water to ensure superb results.

If your vet has prescribed a medicated shampoo for your dog, or you have another brand you would like us to use than this may be brought in.

Choices: Aloveen, Coal Tar, Deodorising, Malaseb, Phyohex, Spa Mud, Older Dog, Whitening, Japanese Charcoal and more..

Note: our range of shampoo's and conditioners are highly recommended for home use between grooms also.

 

Blow Dry

Excess water is rubbed off your dog's coat with a soft towel then your dog is personally pampered and blow-dried gently by hand.

 

Brushing

Coat is thoroughly brushed and combed removing all tangles and debris. A second brushing is also given after the bath to ensure a gorgeous healthy shine ready to go, or ready for further styling.

 

Clipping and Scissoring

Traditional and individual styling is catered for and customers are encouraged to communicate their ideas.

Note: detailed records are kept for future styling and adjustments.

 

De-shed Treatment

Guarantee your dogs comfort, improve the appearance of your dogs coat and your environment without interrupting the natural shedding process. Gently shedding out your dogs undercoat is painless and ensures airflow is not restricted to your dogs skin preventing all sorts of skin conditions. This also reduces the chances of matting and difficult brushing, a must try for all double coated breeds. 

 

Ear Care

Ears will be hygienically cleaned. Hair within the ear canal will be gently removed upon request where needed to avoid any wax build-up, which leads to unpleasant odors and can be the cause of infection.

 

Eye Care

Eye area is gently cleansed to remove any build up. We also offer a hypoallergenic indulgent eye concealer on request, which is applied under the eye area to conceal any discolouration.

 

Flea and Tick Rinse

If fleas are evident than your dog will recieve a flea and tick rinse otherwise will be done upon request..

 

Fresh Fragrance Mists

Your dog's coat will smell amazing once deodorised with our fresh fragrance mist.

Choices: Coconut and the Hamish McBeth range Coconut/Jasmin, Apple/Aloe Vera, Mandarin/Almond and Lavender..

 

Nail Trimming

Nails are trimmed just above the quick so that when your dog walks their nails are clear off the floor. An easy way to remember nails needing to be done is "If you hear clicking, nails usually need trimming".

Note: filing is done on request..

 

Sanitary Trimming

Sanitary areas are considered to be the areas where natural discharge is prone. Between the eyes, infront of the ear canal on dogs with drop ears and the groin area. Some dogs need sanitary trimming and others don't.

Note: if your dog is requiring a hair cut or tidy trimming then sanitary trimming will be performed gently with clipping techniques or hand scissoring.

 

Treats and Toys

We always have good quality treats, toys and personal attention so whatever your dog requires to relax and enjoy themselves, we're sure to discover it whilst building a trusting relationship in which your dog will feel safe and looks forward to visiting our salon.

 

Trimming in between Paw Pads

Trimming all excess fur between your dog's foot pads is essential for most dogs except the really fine, short coated dog breeds. Trimming this area minimises the amount of dirt your dog tracks through the house as well as lowering the risk of knots and foreign matter building within your dogs paws, which can be extremely painful in any active dog.
