A small two-chair studio on Catherine Street. Hand-stripping, breed trims, full grooms and quiet spa-style add-ons — never more than three dogs in the building at a time.
No rushed conveyor-belt grooms. Every visit is a relaxed, four-step morning — never more than three dogs in the studio at once.
Five quiet minutes for hellos, sniffs and treats. We learn what they like.
Hypoallergenic shampoo, warm towels and a gentle blow-dry — no cage drying.
Breed-specific trim with sharpened scissors and clipper combs — calm, careful, never forced.
Nail buff, paw balm, a photo for you, an organic treat for them, and back to you smelling lovely.
I'd actively been avoiding grooming because Pip got so stressed. After her first visit here she got out of the car looking for the door. That has never happened.
We open the calendar a fortnight in advance and slots go quickly. Pick one that suits, or call us — we keep a few slots back for regulars and emergencies.
