Salon Etiquette

  • Do not enter “The Grooming” area at any time. 

  • Clients are asked not to talk or distract any dogs in the salon, including their own until we  have safely returned them to you.

  • Please do not call your dog whilst it is in the grooming salon 

  • Please be punctual when bringing you dog in for their appointment and collecting. 

  • Should we still be attending to your dog when you arrive please wait quietly, we will be with  you as soon as possible. Should your dog see you whilst we are still grooming it will  encourage your dog to become over excited and due to the equipment we use could result  in an incident that we will not be held responsible for. 

  • We offer a three day correction policy if you are unsatisfied with your dog’s trimming any  corrections will be made free of charge within this time scale.
