Frequently asked questions

How long will my appointment take?

We always allow plenty of time, and we will give you a pick-up time when you drop off. Your dog is never rushed.

Can I stay with my dog?

To keep the salon calm and distraction-free, we do not allow owners to stay during grooming. This helps your dog relax and allows us to give them our full attention.

How often should my dog be groomed?

Most dogs benefit from grooming every 6 to 8 weeks, but this can vary depending on breed, coat type, and lifestyle. We are always happy to advise what is best for your dog.

Do I need to pay a deposit?

Yes. A 50% deposit secures your slot and comes off your bill on the day. If you need to cancel or move with at least 24 hours’ notice, we’ll move the deposit to a new appointment or hold it as credit. With less notice it’s lost. Full details are in our booking terms.

My dog is nervous, elderly or has health issues. Can you still groom them?

Nervous dogs do really well here. It’s a small, calm salon with no cages, and your dog has their groomer’s full attention with no rush. If your dog is older, poorly or less mobile, please text us on 07852 635340 before booking so we can chat about whether a groom is right for them.

What if my dog’s coat is matted?

We will always check with you first. De-matting is charged at £15 per 15 minutes. If the matting is too tight to brush out kindly, we may recommend a shorter clip instead, which is much more comfortable for your dog.

Can I book just a nail clip or teeth clean?

Yes. Nail clips (£15) and ultrasonic teeth cleans (£35) can be done on their own. Just text us on 07852 635340 to book one.

What if I’m running late, or can’t pick up on time?

Please arrive on time and collect your dog promptly, as we book appointments back to back. If you arrive more than 15 minutes late, we may need to shorten or rebook the groom, and the deposit may be lost. Please collect your dog within 15 minutes of us letting you know they’re ready. Late collection is charged at £10 per 15 minutes.
