Policy and Terms

Our policy for failed or cancelled appointments is as follows: A significant amount of valuable grooming time is wasted when an appointment is not attended; time which could otherwise have been allocated to another clients dog. CANCELLED appointments will not usually incur any charge. If it is not possible to keep an appointment please let us know as soon as possible so we can offer the appointment time to someone else. We require at least two days’ notice for any cancellation. 48hrs notice prior to appointment incurs a charge of 50% of the appointment cost, appointment cancellation after 48hrs incurs full payment. FAILED appointments that incur will need to be settled before further appointments can be made. If appointments are repeatedly failed or cancelled at short notice we may ask for further appointments to be paid for in advance, where the full cost of the time allocated is paid on booking. In these cases the appointment fee would be charged whether or not you are able to attend.

Puppy Socialising Groom - De-sensitising your puppy to the grooming process.

A positive first experience will pave the way for a lifetime of enjoyable and stress-free grooming appointments for you and your dog. It’s recommended that once you get your dog desensitize it is best to have a regular grooming schedule. Regularly grooming your dog will help get them. use to the situation and build their confidence over time. It’s not enough to book in one socialising appointment as they’re likely to have forgotten their progress last time. I recommend 4wk socialising sessions whilst your puppy is growing. The sessions will include introducing your dog to the grooming table, safety harnesses and straps, bathing-dryers-brushing-clippers (noise and vibration) and nail clipping.

Hand Stripping

Hand stripping is a grooming technique used to remove dead hair from a dog's coat by hand, promoting healthy skin and a neat appearance. Dogs who have been neutered or spayed may not be suitable for hand stripping due to hormonal changes. This can effect the coats re growth making it uncomfortable to strip some dogs
