Dog Grooming

Some dogs have fur that grows and sheds regularly. Whilst others have hair that doesn't shed at all. Each dog can have unique needs when it comes to grooming in order to support healthy growth and to prevent matting. Our knowledge of different growth patterns of hair and fur mean we can handle brushing and cutting appropriately.

Depending on your dogs breed, along with any skin issues they may have. The grooming services they require will vary. We can suggest specific services that will help your beloved pooch to thrive.

While it's nice to keep your pet looking great, but are you also aware that regular grooming helps your dog regulate their temperature. Not only does excess fur make it harder for them to cool down, but also any mats in their fur makes regulation much harder.

The coats of dog breeds with fur that sheds have a growth pattern. There are three stages; growing, resting and shedding. Fur keeps growing until it reaches its determined length before it dies, falls off and regrows again. Fur is meant to shed before the warmer months. However the domestication of dogs into pets has changed this natural occurrence. So you may find your dog sheds all year round, rather than seasonally.

By visiting regularly, we will become familiar with your dog. Allowing us to notice any abnormalities such as lumps and bumps. Fleas are also an inevitability that comes with owning a dog. During the groom we can check for fleas and their eggs. Regularly washing, brushing and clipping of fur will help in ceasing the growth of fleas.
