A Calm, Kind Grooming Experience
From the moment you drop your pup off, they’re treated like one of the family. We focus on building trust and always work within their comfort level — especially for puppies, seniors, and anxious dogs.
Each groom includes a bath, blow-dry, brush-out, and style suited to your dog’s coat and comfort level.
Most grooms take around two hours, although this can vary depending on coat type and temperament. You’ll receive a message 30 minutes before pickup so you can plan your return.

With patience, skill, and plenty of care, we make grooming a positive part of your dog’s routine — not something to dread.

FAQs
How old does my puppy need to be before their first groom?
Once they have had their second vaccination, we can start introducing them to grooming slowly. Select the Puppy Tidy option, and when you come in, we’ll discuss what to expect. We’re so glad you want to start them on this journey early and in a positive way!
How long does grooming take?
Each groom takes approximately 2 hours. We will send you a text 30 mins before they are ready to be picked up.
Can my dog hang out once they have been groomed?
If you have a small dog you can add on a half day of daycare (total of 5 hours) or a full day of daycare. Daycare becomes cheaper doing it this way too! If its your first time, your small dog is more than welcome to add on a Temperament Trial (total of 5 hours).
Medium and Large dogs can add on a dog minding fee. We give you 30 mins notice before the end of the groom and an additional 30 mins free before we need to start charging per hour.
What products do you use? My dog has sensitive skin.
We only use natural products to bathe your dog and finishing off with a dog approved essential oils spray. The shampoo and conditioner we use is Dr Zoo but please bring in your own if you prefer.
