About Dog Grooming

Many dogs require significantly less grooming than others. However a frequent visit to our grooming salon is advisable as this ensures someone is checking your dogs skin, coat, nails, anal glands, any minor cuts, lumps, warts, hernias, skin problems and ear problems that you may not be aware aware of.  Also non-shedding coat dogs will need their ears plucking. With this in mind, ear plucking needs to be done on a regular basis to avoid infections occurring.  All of which are covered on a regular appointment at our grooming salon here in Swanland.

Many clients comment on short-term positive behavioural changes in their dog after a trip to our grooming salon. Because a professional dog groom frees your dogs skin leading to more comfort. And just like us, a new hair cut and pampering makes your dog feel good too.

Some of the main reasons for regular, professional grooming:

• Most dogs love to expose themselves, and their coat, to scents we would happily avoid. However, dogs do not like a heavy, dirty coat.
• Improves the health of your dogs skin and coat
• General cleanliness of your dog
• Removes loose, moulting, shedding and all dead hair from the coat. This makes way for new healthy hair growth.
• There isn’t an inch of your dogs skin, coat and body that our experienced assistants and stylists don’t see. Therefore grooming plays a huge part in the wellbeing of your dog. This can ensure early diagnosis of any health problems which may be present.
• Regular grooming plays an important part in your dog being happy to have area’s of their body examined and handled.  Without regular positive handling of feet, head, tail and other sensitive areas of your dogs body, your dog may become reluctant for them to be examined.  This could lead to problems with your dogs behaviour in the future.

To make an appointment, or for just some professional advice on grooming your pet, we’re always on hand to assist you in any way we can.
