Professional dog grooming by a salon that really cares.
Serving the Braintree, Dunmow,
Stansted, Thaxted area Come and see us, we have ample parking, outside runs and
country
side walks right outside our door.
Q: How long will it take to groom my dog?
A: Grooming your dog can vary in time, anything
from one hour – three hours depending on your dogs breed, size and requested style
of cut.
Short haired dogs only requiring a bath can take up to one hour due to the
drying time.
Most small to medium breeds requiring a clip or trim can take on average
one and a half hours, to two hours depending on the style you have requested.
Larger
breeds like St Bernard’s, Newfoundland’s and Long Haired Alsatians can take two to
three hours. It takes longer as there is more hair to wash and dry.
Q: Can I stay
with my dog at the salon?
A: We advise our customers not to stay at the salon. Dogs
tend to try and get to their owners if they sense or see that their owner is there,
making the grooming process longer for the dog. However should you be really nervous
about leaving your dog for the first time we do have a waiting area in the reception.
Due to insurance purposes we cannot allow customers into the grooming areas.
Q: How
often can i have my dog bathed?
A: It is recommended that you do not bath your dog
anymore than once every 4-
Q: When can I start bringing my puppy into
the grooming salon?
A: You can start bringing your puppy into the salon as soon as
it has had all its vaccinations and your veterinarian has informed you when its safe
to go out.
We do advise to start bringing your puppy into the grooming salon as soon
as it has had its vaccinations to allow it to get used to the new sounds, smells,
people, and being away from its owner. Clipping your puppy can be done but not recommended,
this is because puppies like to play.
Q: What kind of shampoos do you use?
A: All
our shampoo’s are mild to help prevent skin problems. We do use tea tree shampoo
for skin that is irritable or flaky and flea shampoo used if required.
Q: My veterinarian
has given me medicated shampoo for my dog; can you use it when bathing?
A: Yes of
course we can, we are happy to use shampoo’s that have been prescribed by your vet
for your dog.
Q: Is there anything you need to know about my dog before I bring it
into the grooming salon?
A: Yes, we will ask you if your dog suffers from any heart
conditions, if he/she is blind or deaf, any skin allergies and if your dog is nervous.
We ask these questions so that we can make sure your dog is relaxed as possible,
