A conditioning bath with clean warm running water and invigorating fresh water rinse to remove any residue which may irritate the skin. We use JDS flea and tick shampoo and branded Mild Camomile Dog Shampoo for dogs with sensitive skin.

We soak up excess water with with a chamois then towel dry to separate the coat. We then blow dry the coat with specifically designed professional dryers. If your dog looses lots of hair then we will blast the under coat from his/her skin. This under coat can make your dogs skin sore and unnecessarily over heat him/her because air cannot circulate his skin. This process needs to be done every 12 weeks or so. If you have a dog that loses hair a lot then book him/her in to get a bath and blast.  Look here to see the benefits of blasting.

Your dog will be thoroughly dried and brushed before being moved to the grooming table. 

Breed specific styling or a cut to your personal requirments. All your dogs information from your initial consultation such as style of cut, what shampoo we should use, your dogs temperament, whether or not we express the anal glands will be kept on a Client Information Card which will be filed for future use. We track all your appointments so we can specifically tailor our services to your exact requirements.
