Welfare

The welfare of your dog is my primary concern.

 

  • One to one attention – there is only me and your dog (or housemate, friend if necessary). Plus of course, Radio 2!

 

  • Relaxation – at my salon in Harpenden your dog will enjoy my undivided and immediate attention thereby avoiding the stress of other animals and waiting times.

 

  • Wash & dry – washed by hand with the choice of the best shampoos most suitable for your dog. All products are hypo-allergenic. Your dog will be towel and hand dried.

 

  • Brush & dematting – matted fur is usually very uncomfortable for your pet. Mats can be brushed or clipped out. I will discuss the best way to deal with your dog's coat.

 

  • Ears – cleaned with ear wash and the ear canal is kept free of unwanted hair which can lead to infections.

 

  • Nails – nails are assessed on every visit and trimmed if necessary.

 

  • Clipping & styling – either clipping or stripping. Styling is to Breed Industry Standard or your stated requirements.

 

  • Health check – I will advise you of any issues that we believe may compromise the well being of your dog.
