Toodles Dog Grooming Salon & Boutique

Toodles Dog Grooming Salon & Boutique is a dedicated pet grooming service located in Dartmouth, offering a full range of grooming services for dogs. The business is run by owner and senior groomer Sam Gray, who completed her initial training to better care for her own dogs and continued her education to earn a City & Guilds Level 3 with Diploma. Sam and her team are committed to providing a professional and caring service, with a focus on the individual needs of each dog. The salon is known for its calm environment and the team's ability to work with dogs of all temperaments, including those that are nervous or anxious. Customers frequently praise the attention to detail and the friendly, professional service provided by Sam and her team. The salon also offers a range of grooming products for purchase, allowing owners to maintain their dog's coat at home.

Toodles provides a comprehensive suite of grooming services, from quick services like nail clipping and ear cleaning to full grooms that include a bath, styling, and hand-stripping. The team is experienced in working with a variety of breeds and coat types, and they are happy to offer advice and welcome photos to ensure the desired style is achieved. The salon is particularly noted for its ability to handle nervous dogs, with one customer highlighting that Sam was able to calm down their dog, Teddy, who does not like being separated from his family. The team also offers hand-stripping services for breeds that require this technique, which takes longer than a standard styled groom. Additional treatments can be added to any full groom, and the salon's shop offers a range of tools and products for home grooming.

Customer reviews for Toodles consistently highlight the high quality of service and the team's expertise. One customer, Carol Gameson-Hughes, praised Sam for grooming her min Schnauzer, Poppy, saying she was the most relaxed she had ever seen her after grooming. Another customer, Sue Smith, was impressed with the professional service when purchasing a new harness, noting that Sam tried several on her Basset Griffon Vendéen, Pepper, to get the best fit. Gail Evans also commended Sam for her ability to calm down her Sharpei, Teddy, who doesn't like being separated from his family. These reviews underscore the salon's reputation for providing a calm, professional, and caring service that leaves dogs looking and feeling their best.
