DOG grooming basics

Our full grooms are split into 3 categories : Short Clip, Long Clip and Breed Specific. Depending on how short you get the groom, you should get your dog groomed every six weeks to eight weeks to keep their coat in tip-top shape.  

SHORT CLIP: SHORT CLIP ON THE BODY. HEAD AND FACE TRIMMED TO CLIENT'S REQUEST.

LONG CLIP: LONG CLIP ON THE BODY. WITH SCISSORED FINISH. HEAD AND FACE TRIMMED TO CLIENT'S REQUEST.

BREED SPECIFIC: BREED SPECIFIC STYLES OR CUTS THAT REQUIRE HAND SCISSORING.

Desheds are typically done seasonally for short coated or double coated dogs. A deshed will  consist of a thorough brush-out to remove the dead undercoat then a blow-out with a high-pressure hair dryer. Our Deshed and Tidy service includes a BATH, BLOW OUT AND REMOVAL OF EXCESS UNDERCOAT, TRIM AND TIDY UP OF FEATHERING, FEET AND HYGIENE AREAS.

It is recommended to wash your dog no more than once every 2 weeks to allow for their natural oils to develop. A good rule to remember is to wash your dog when you notice an obvious change in their coat’s condition. Our bath and blow dry service includes a SHAMPOO, BLOW DRY, BRUSH, COMB, NAIL TRIM, EAR CLEAN.

A tidy up is generally a groom done in-between full grooms every 4 weeks or for dogs that do not require full grooms. Our Tidy Up Service includes A BATH, BLOW DRY, BRUSH AND COMB THROUGH, NAILS, EAR CLEAN, TIDY UP OF FACE, FEET AND HYGIENE AREAS.

Hand stripping is the most effective grooming method for wired coated dogs and is usually required seasonally.
