Professional one-to-one dog grooming with Andrea

Full Groom

A full grooming appointment for dogs who need a complete tidy-up from nose to tail. This service is tailored to your dog’s coat, breed style and your preferred finish.

Includes

• A consultation to understand your dog’s coat, temperament and what you would like from the groom
• A general health and coat check, with anything unusual noted and discussed with you
• Bath, blow dry, full brush-out and tidy
• Haircut, styling or hand scissoring to suit your dog’s coat and owner preference
• Nail trim, ear clean and finishing fragrance

Bath, Brush & Tidy Up

A good option between full grooms, or for dogs who do not need a full haircut but still need a proper freshen-up.

Includes

• Bath and conditioning treatment
• General coat and skin check
• Tidy of key areas such as eyes, paws and hygiene areas where needed
• Blow dry, brush-out and comb-through to leave the coat clean and comfortable

Puppy Groom

A first grooming experience for puppies from 12 weeks old, once vaccinations are complete. The aim is to help your puppy get used to the grooming process in a positive way, without rushing them.

Includes

• Time to meet me, have a sniff around and settle into the appointment
• A light bath using puppy-suitable products
• Low-noise drying with reassurance and breaks where needed
• Face tidy around the eyes and muzzle
• Paw and pad tidy to keep feet neat and comfortable
• Hygiene tidy
• Gentle nail trim
• Light brushing, praise, treats and short breaks
• Positive handling to help build confidence for future grooms

Short-Coat Deshedding

For short-haired dogs that shed regularly, including breeds such as Pugs, Labradors and Beagles. This groom helps remove loose hair and dander while keeping the coat clean, smooth and healthy-looking.

Includes

• Thorough brush-out to remove loose coat
• Deshedding work using suitable tools for the coat type
• Bath and conditioning treatment
• Full dry and final comb-through, including shorter-coated areas that still hold loose hair

Long-Coat Deshedding

For long-coated or double-coated dogs such as Retrievers, Collies and Huskies. This service helps reduce loose coat, support airflow through the coat and make home coat care more manageable.

Includes

• Deep brushing and undercoat removal using appropriate tools
• Bath and conditioning treatment
• Full dry and comb-out
• Careful coat work to help protect the topcoat and support healthy skin

Hand Stripping

For suitable wire-coated breeds where hand stripping helps maintain the natural coat texture, colour and finish.

Please let me know if your dog has previously been clipped, spayed or neutered, as this can affect whether the coat is suitable for hand stripping.

Includes

• Coat and condition assessment
• Hand stripping carried out in manageable sections
• Time and breaks where needed
• Bath and tidy finish where suitable

Dematting

For dogs with light matting or small tangles. I will always work carefully and only remove knots where this can be done without causing unnecessary discomfort.

If the coat is badly matted or pulling on the skin, brushing it out may not be fair on the dog. In these cases, a shorter clip may be needed under the Animal Welfare Act 2006 to prevent pain, stress or skin irritation. Heavy matting can also affect grooming equipment, so it is always best to deal with knots early where possible.

Shaving of Pelted or Severely Matted Coats

When a coat is pelted or severely matted, clipping it short is often the kindest and safest option. Brushing through heavy matting can be painful, stressful and unfair on the dog.

This type of groom takes care, time and concentration. My priority will always be to keep your dog as comfortable as possible throughout the appointment.

After the groom, I will talk you through coat care, brushing and suitable grooming intervals to help prevent the same issue returning.

Flea Treatment & Salon Deep Clean

If fleas are found during an appointment, I will deal with the situation safely and hygienically. Where it is safe to continue, I will complete the groom, treat your dog as required and then carry out the necessary salon cleaning process afterwards.

This includes specialist cleaning products, disposal of affected items where needed and extra time to make sure the area is safe and hygienic for the next dog.

If you know or suspect your dog has fleas before the appointment, please contact me first so we can discuss the best way to manage the booking.

Nervous, Reactive or Senior Dogs

Some dogs need more time, patience or reassurance during grooming. This can include older dogs, dogs who are unsure of grooming, or dogs who may struggle with certain parts of the process.

I will always discuss your dog’s needs before the appointment and agree what is suitable. If a dog is highly reactive or difficult to handle safely, an initial conversation or assessment may be needed before a groom can be confirmed.
