"Really happy with the grooming. My cat was nervous but they handled him really well. The only reason for 4 stars is the wait time was a bit longer than expected, but the result was great."

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you do a puppy groom?

Yes, puppy Grooms start from £25. It's a gentle, shorter introduction designed to make your puppy's first salon visit a positive one.

Do you groom doodles?

Yes, we have a lot of experience grooming various doodles. Cockapoos, cavapoos, labradoodles and goldendoodles are some of our most regular visitors.

How long will my dog's groom take?

When you book online the system works out the appointment length for you, based on your dog's breed and size and the service you choose, so the time you see is the time we've set aside. A full groom is usually around 1.5 to 2.5 hours depending on coat and condition.

Do you groom cats?

Yes. Cat grooming is one of our specialisms, from a full groom and de-shed through to a lion cut for long-haired cats who are prone to matting. Cat appointments are booked separately to dogs.

Can I ask for a particular groomer?

Of course. We're a team of five, so if you have a favourite you can choose them when you book. New to us? Any of the team will look after you beautifully.

My dog gets anxious at the groomers, can you help?

Yes, a lot of our regulars started out nervous. We work calmly, never rush, and never restrain a dog unnecessarily. Pop a note in your booking and we'll take it at their pace.

How does booking work?

Choose your service, groomer, date and time online and send us a request. We review every booking and confirm by email, usually the same day, and you'll get a reminder the day before.

What if I need to cancel or rearrange?

No problem, just give us at least 24 hours' notice so we can offer the slot to someone else. You can manage your appointment from the link in your confirmation email.

Are there any breeds you don't groom?

For the safety of the team we don't currently take XL Bullies or other banned or restricted breeds. Everything else is welcome, from tiny toy breeds to giant fluffy ones.

Do you offer teeth cleaning?

Yes, a dental tidy can be added to any groom, a handy top-up between your vet check-ups.
