Q: Why does my dog need a full groom every 6 to 8 weeks?
A: Many of our most loved
and popular breeds of dog do require grooming to maintain a full standard of health,
not just to maintain the look of the breed, and this can not be managed by the owner
themselves. Professional grooming offers the additional advantage of tailoring your
dogs cut to his lifestyle, i.e. a non-
Q: How do I know how often my dog needs to be groomed?
A: In general most breeds benefit from a groom every 6 to 8 weeks, with some basic grooming maintenance on a regular basis by the owner. In some cases your dogs coat may be suited to leaving it slightly longer for a professional groom, however to maintain a healthy coat and look of the breed we would advise a maximum 10 weeks between grooms.
Q: Why is it important to brush my dog?
A: All dogs must be brushed regularly (whatever

Q: Why do dogs ears require checking?
A: All dogs ears need to be cleaned. Many breeds
of dog, i.e.: wool breeds, terriers etc. have fur that grows downwards into the ear

to the dog and to prevent any blockages occurring which would require medical attention
if left. By using an Artery Forcep, the fur is plucked from the ear canal and the
outer ear is cleaned with veterinary approved solution.
Q: I regularly walk my dog, why should I have her nails checked?
A: Dogs nails grow
at different speeds (this is not breed dependent, but specific to your dog), therefore
we check their growth and / or any damage at each groom as part of the grooming package.
For some short haired breeds or for those owners who prefer additional checks in
between grooms we are more than happy to offer nail care as and when needed.
