About The Dog House
GROOMING WITH LOVE:
The comfort, safety, and happiness of your dog is of utmost priority. You can have complete peace of mind that I will treat your beloved pooch to the quality care they deserve when they visit The Dog House. During treatments plenty of cuddles (and maybe the odd treat or two) are given, and I will never rush a treatment, ensuring each pooch has a positive, loving, and relaxing experience.
​
For the safety and well being of your dog, I have chosen not to use cabinet dryers or grooming restraints. The only attachment your dog will have is a safety lead in the bath and on the table, but this will still allow them the freedom to sit or move away when they want to or need to.
INDIVIDUAL TREATMENT APPOINTMENTS:
My grooming services are delivered one dog at a time so each pooch has a relaxing and individual experience free from the distraction of other canine clients.
​
NATURAL PRODUCTS:
Products used in The Dog House are all cruelty-free and made from naturally derived, chemical free ingredients. They are guaranteed to be free from the synthetic materials, chemicals, and unnatural ingredients found in many of today’s grooming products which can cause skin irritations and allergies.
FREE PRE-TREATMENT CONSULTATIONS:
A comprehensive range of affordable grooming and spa treatments are on offer to make all my clients look and feel like a totally pampered pooch. On arrival each pooch receives a pre-treatment consultation where specific skin, coat, and emotional needs will be discussed with pet parents. This ensures each pooch receives a tailored treatment, and any specific requirements are discussed and agreed with pet parents prior to their grooming or spa experience.
​
FREE FAMILIARISATION VISITS:
The Dog House offers free familiarisation visits to help get your pooch used to the grooming salon and grooming experience. Your dog will receive lots of cuddles and praise to make their first visit an all-around fun experience. For puppies, their early experiences of grooming can set the stage for how they respond to being groomed for the rest of their life, so its vital to make the experience as enjoyable and positive as possible.
​
REHABILITATION VISITS:
To assist dogs that find the grooming experience stressful or may have had a bad experience with a previous groomer I offer a rehabilitation program where I work with the owner to schedule a series of desensitisation and familiarisation visits. This program works by addressing your dogs specific needs and scheduling a series of visits and exercises during which we work to build up your dog’s confidence whilst being groomed. Each visit will introduce your pooch to a part of the grooming process until they become comfortable with the overall grooming experience.
Please contact me for more information.
