Dog grooming in Clayton West

A wash and a pamper, a little trim or a full cut and tidy up, in my own purpose-built grooming studio in the garden.

Your dog, my full attention

When your dog comes for a groom they come to my grooming studio: a proper, purpose-built outbuilding in my garden, set up just for the job and fully equipped for whatever your dog needs. It’s calm, it’s cosy, and it’s a world away from a busy shop front.

I’m City & Guilds qualified up to level 3 in dog grooming. Whether it’s a wash and blow dry, a little trim or a full cut and tidy up, I’ll make sure your dog goes home looking and feeling fabulous. Depending on size, coat and needs, prices vary, but they start at £15 for a wash and dry.

What to expect on your first visit

  • A quick chat about your dog: their coat, their temperament and what you’d like
  • A wash, blow dry and brush out, or the full works
  • Plenty of cuddles along the way
  • Your dog home smelling lovely, and looking it

Not sure what your dog needs? Just ask and I’ll talk you through it.
