Most coats do best every 6–8 weeks, with a wash and brush-out in between. Doodles and other curly coats may need to come a little more often to stay mat-free.
Absolutely. Nervous dogs are my speciality — we take breaks, go at their pace and build trust. Just mention it when you book so I can allow extra time.
I'll always do what's kindest for the dog. Light matting can often be brushed out, but badly matted coats may need a shorter clip — I'll talk it through with you first.
A full groom usually takes 1.5–2.5 hours depending on size, coat and temperament. I'll give you a time to drop off and a time to collect your freshly groomed pooch.
