Puppies

Puppy Intro Groom Mini

from$75

Your puppy's first grooms are less about the haircut and more about building trust. We aim for a full bath, blow dry, brush-out and pawdicure, but we go at their pace. They get to sniff all the equipment, take cuddle breaks and get lots of reassurance. Never rushed, always patient, and whatever we achieve in an hour, we call a win.

Coat Reset

from$20

When matting sits close to the skin, brushing it out isn't the kind option. A coat reset is a pre-clip that takes the coat back to a short, even length beneath the matting, so your dog gets a fresh start. It's quicker and far more comfortable than a long brush-out, and the new coat grows back healthy. We'll always talk it through with you before we clip.

Dematting

from$20 / 15 min

Mats happen to the best-loved dogs, especially after swimming, rain or a big coat growth spurt. We gently work them out using specialised tools like mat breakers and detangling brushes, a little at a time and with breaks. If a mat is too tight to remove comfortably, we'll stop and talk to you about clipping that area instead.

Pawdicure

from$25

Nails trimmed, then smoothed with a quiet rotary file so the edges are rounded rather than sharp. That means fewer scratches on legs and floors, fewer snags, and a more comfortable stance for your dog. Perfect for keeping nails in check between full grooms.

About 15 minutes · any size

Tooth Brushing

from$15

A proper scrub with Hydra Dental Paste, a professional pet toothpaste. It's fluoride-free, cleans gently with calcium carbonate and bicarbonate soda, and has a fruity flavour most dogs are happy to accept. It leaves breath fresher and is a great habit between vet dental checks, though it won't remove hardened tartar.

Ear Plucking

from$20

A light tidy of the loose hair just inside the ear canal, for dogs that grow hair there and have a little build-up. It helps air flow and keeps ears easier to clean. This is gentle maintenance only. We only pluck dogs who are comfortable with it, we never force it, and we don't do deep plucking that can irritate the ear. If ears look red or sore, we'll let you know it's time for a vet check.
