Contact me for a consultation where we will book your appointment. I will turn up with all my equipment, all you need to provide is a bath or shower and a space to set up my table in.

Of course, I am at your house so you can come and go as you please. In some cases, having the owner present can increase the dog’s anxiety and reactivity, in this case I will ask you to leave the room for the remainder of the groom.

It is totally normal for your dog to feel tired after a groom. They’ve been on their feet throughout the process which is tiring in itself, and have been using a lot of mental energy to stand calmly.

Generally, dogs are okay to groom 2 weeks post-surgery although this many vary depending on the procedure.

In line with the Animal Welfare Act, Good Dog will not subject any dog to extensive de-matting attempts as these can cause considerable pain and distress to the dog. There is a chance the skin underneath the matting may become irritated, Good Dog will be as careful as possible but it is important to know that the possibility of injury exists and that we will not be held responsible.

If your dog is showing excessive signs of stress, I will stop the groom and allow them to free roam to reset for 5 minutes. If they return to a high-level of stress after this break we may have to stop the groom.

I will work with you to put a plan in place to ensure your dog has a less stressful experience for their next appointment.

I cannot groom your dog if they are pregnant, grooming can be a stressful experience for dogs which can put a pregnant dog at risk of miscarriage or complications.

The grooming process involves a lot of new sights, sounds and sensations for a puppy.

It’s important to introduce these things to a puppy slowly to ensure a low-stress experience to set them up for a lifetime of good grooming experiences.

In their old age dogs can struggle with a variety of health issues such as arthritis, pain in the eyes and mouth, doggy dementia, and coat change. This will mean grooming becomes more about comfort than style.

We will discuss the options for your dog in advance of their appointment.

Payments are taken at the completion of your appointment. I can take payments in cash, by card, or via an online payment link. Online payments are only available to repeat clients.
