Home / First visits & puppies
Small steps. A fresh beginning.
New to grooming, new to the area, or simply unsure where to start? Begin with what your dog already knows and what they find unfamiliar.
What to talk through
An introductory enquiry helps shape an appropriate first visit. It is not a promise of a full groom on the first appointment: pace, handling and what is manageable would be discussed first.
Before we begin
Share your dog’s age, previous grooming experiences and any health or handling concerns. For a puppy, ask your vet about when visits are appropriate, and discuss any salon requirements before arranging a visit.
Time, price & suitability
These depend on your dog’s size, coat condition and the agreed service. Ask for a personal estimate before confirming an appointment. If grooming is uncomfortable or unsuitable, the plan may need to change.

A couple of useful answers.
My dog is nervous. What should I mention?
Tell us what has been difficult before: handling, sounds, water or being apart from you. Do not assume a particular approach will suit every dog. Suitability needs a conversation.
Can I get a price before arranging a visit?
A real salon would need your dog’s details and coat condition to confirm scope and price. This concept has no fixed prices or live appointments.
