Puppy's First Groom
A gentle half-hour introduction for under-sixes: a warm bath, the dryer at low, a tidy round the eyes and feet, and lots of fuss. No pressure, no full clip.

Bought the 5-groom pack for the year. Credits come off automatically when I book, which is exactly how it should work.
Priya
They found a hot spot under our collie’s coat and told us to get it looked at. That is the sort of thing that keeps you loyal.
Martha
Great full groom on our schnauzer — the beard is immaculate. Slightly ran over on time but they messaged to say so.
Hattie
Straightforward pricing by size is such a relief after years of "ring for a quote". Booked, paid at the counter, done.
