When you arrive for your appointment we will greet you and your pet and we will ask you to complete a short questionnaire.
This includes your contact details, your pet’s history, veterinarian details, and health and behaviour information. We will then examine your pet and discuss it’s grooming requirements with you. Once grooming needs have been decided on we will inform you of the price and give you a pick up time.

We do not sedate any animals on these premises under any situation. Only a Veterinarian can prescribe any necessary drugs for your pet. We sometimes have to recommend clients to seek veterinary advice if we cannot groom a difficult dog for their safety. We also cannot administer drugs for you as our insurance does not allow it. Please ask your vet for advice. Sedated animals require special care and may be refused service if not arranged for prior to appointment.
Yes. We always encourage owners to bring a few treats to reward their dog. You are also welcome to bring one of your dog’s favourite toys or blanket if it makes them feel more at home. We often give treats to the dogs and if your dog has a special diet or medical problem which does not permit this please inform us.
