Grooming Salons

Price is dependent on size and condition of your pet which may affect the time it will take to complete.

All our groom outs are done in our grooming salons Monday to Friday. A groom out is suitable for dogs with a thicker coat, an undercoat or who shed regularly.

We are strongly opposed to animal cruelty, therefore we do not de-matt in cases where the knots in the coat are so bad that it would cause pain and suffering, possible risk of injury or undue distress to the dog.

A well groomed dog is a happy dog!

Dog grooming is the practice of caring for the appearance of your dog for personal pleasure and the dogs comfort. Grooming includes washing, clipping and trimming, brushing out, cutting nails, cleaning ears and teeth.

Having your dog groomed is a lot easier if they are introduced to it as puppies, so training your puppy to accept washing and other grooming techniques is imperative. Grooming is important for your pet and is more than aesthetically pleasing to you. It is great for cutting down on shedding and smell, but will keep your pet’s skin, hair, nails and teeth healthy. Grooming is also a great way to cut down on allergies and infection for both you and your dog.

It is important to maintain a regular grooming routine with your dog at home. A daily brush to remove any knots and excess hair will reduce the likelihood of matting in the coat. It is extremely important that all knots are removed before a dog is bathed as any knots will become tighter and may require clipping to beremoved. It isimperative to maintain your dogs grooming as a knotted dog may require a shorter than expected clip as it is dangerous to try and cut knots out with scissors.

Always remember that your dog’s hair will grow back!! Many owners get the wrong advice on caring for their pet's coat. With the correct advice and grooming tools, owners have the opportunity to get it right by the next visit to the groomer. Regular professional grooming is the easiest and most convenient way to ensure your dog remains in the best condition possible.
