As dog lovers, our dog groomers believe that the handling and comfort of the dogs in their care is as important as the haircuts they offer. The better the experience the dog has whilst in the grooming room, the more it learns to work with us and the better our continuous relationship will be and therefore the happier the dog will be. All our staff are carefully selected so they have that special something that enables them to bond with and get the best from the dog. They are trained to handle all the dogs in our care with gentleness, patience, love and care. We have all the up to date equipment, hold specialist shampoos for different coat types, continuously attend training seminars and have top stylists and examiners come to the salon to train us so the dogs experience the best salon experience possible. We strive to continuously be the best we can so we provide the best service we can for you and your dog.
