norwich based 1-2-1 Grooming

Whether it’s a new dog, old dog, owners' first puppy, or the 6th dog in the family pack, the first consultation is so we have time put aside to discuss the individual needs of your dog, your preferences and expectations, and what can be achieved - as well as working out your individual quote. Some of this can be done virtually through messages, but an allotment of time will be put aside on drop off to check health, coat type and condition, run through policies, and complete paperwork.

A full body shampoo & condition, rinse and blow dry. We use a selection of products depending on coat types, or skin sensitivities. Certain special requirements may be catered for, but please let us know before booking so we can advise accordingly. (Unfortunately we cannot provide flea baths as this could put our salon and other dogs at risk of also getting fleas.)

To help keep coat in top tip condition, with no tangles and knots.  If your dog is double coated, wire coated, or excessively shedding hair we can also advise on if a longer “Deshedding”, or “Hand Stripping” appointment is needed. 

Using a specifically formulated ear cleaning product, this helps get rid of excess wax build up and keeps stinky ears under control.

Safely clipped to the quick. If you know the history of how your dog handles a nail trim please let us know when booking.

A Full Groom includes everything in the Bath package & Mini Trim, but also includes any length of hair from the body and leg too. This can either be a sculpted breed standard cut, or a personalised pet trim, or could be a fresh-start shave down. Prices vary for coat types, size and temperament of dog. 

Some dogs may not need a lot trimmed in order to be in tip-top condition, while higher maintenance coat types may prefer to alternate Full Grooms with a Mini Trim, to help to keep on top of things. It includes everything from a Bath package, and generally includes a trim around the eyes and mouth, a neaten between the toes, and tidy up of the hygiene area, but may slightly vary between breeds. This generally doesn’t include any shaping or length off of the body or legs (see Full Groom). 

Designed for double coated breeds that shed a lot of excess hair. The process helps remove excess hair that gets trapped in their coat. A De-shed can help stop matting of the undercoat, help the dog regulate its temperature, and lower the amount of shedding around the house and on the furniture. Especially during some breeds' seasonal molt, a good deshed can help a dog feel much more comfortable and keeps their coat in a glossy, healthy condition. 

Specifically for wire coated, or some silk coated breeds (eg. Border terriers, Wire-haired Dachshund, Lakeland terriers, Spaniels, Schnauzers). Hand stripping is a process where the downy undercoat is stripped out from under the dog's wiry guard hairs. This helps smooth out the coat, to look neater and less scrappy, while keeping its water resistant properties, or helps the dog regulate temperature. If your dog has never been hand stripped before, a face to face consultation is strongly advised.

All about creating positive first impressions on a young or apprehensive dog, an intro session is designed to give your dog a chance to be amongst all of the new sounds, smells and experiences of the grooming salon. We introduce them to the sensation of a bath, the sound of the dryer, and get them used to being handled for nail clipping, etc. All done at a gentle pace with lots of cuddles, breaks, and treats to help build up their confidence and to create a great start to our ongoing friendship.

Mats happen. Depending on the severity of matting depends on the action that will need to be taken. We will do what we can to save a coat, but we will always put a dog's health and comfort above vanity. A face-to-face consultation will help us advise on what will need to be done and costs involved.
