We are thorough, careful and respectful; therefore, we usually require approximately 5 hours completing a full beautification process.
All appointments are for a specific time staggered throughout the day where we will give you an estimated pick-up time. Once ready, we’ll call or send you an SMS to your mobile.
If you have specific time requirements, please advise at the time of making your bookingand we'll attempt to accommodate this.

Do you have your own dog shampoo you prefer to use? Has the vet prescribed you something for a skin condition?
Feel free to bring it along. We are able to apply most prescribed treatments (a small surcharge may apply if we need to “soak” or use gloves). Please mention this at time of booking and your groomer can discuss your requirements. Remember, we're here to make life easier for you and your pet. We'll never embarrass you.
This is Max after he's had a full grooming including pre-bath brushing, shampoo and silky conditioner.
He has then been hand scissored to produce an award winning style.
