Our grooming is calm, controlled and carefully managed to ensure each dog receives the time and attention they need. Dogs are groomed in a low-stimulation environment without the noise and disruption of busy salons. Each groom is given the time it needs, we do not rush or cut corners to fit more dogs into the day.
Each appointment is designed to maintain coat condition, comfort and a consistent finish, not just to tidy up between long gaps. This is a maintenance-based service, not a quick or occasional groom.
We work with a maximum of two dogs per session. Both dogs begin together with a full treatment process, before moving into individual drying and styling. This allows us to work efficiently while maintaining a high standard of care and attention throughout.
This is not a high-volume salon. We work in a controlled, considered way to ensure quality, consistency and your dog’s welfare. Your dog will not be exposed to large, boisterous, barking or howling dogs during their visit.
If this is your dog’s first visit to a groomer, a calm, experienced “nanny dog” will be made available to support them during the process. This helps nervous dogs settle and feel more relaxed throughout their groom.
This is not a service for occasional grooming or for those looking for the lowest price.
If you are looking for a higher standard of grooming, with consistency, care and long-term coat management, this is the right place.
What we do
We specialise in small dog grooming under 10kg.
Our process begins with a one-hour bathing and treatment stage. This includes recirculating shampoo, conditioner for every dog, leave-in conditioner, an oxygen nano bubble treatment, ultrasonic teeth maintenance, aromatherapy wrap and reiki. This treatment process is designed to improve coat condition, skin health and overall comfort, not just cleanliness.
After bathing, each dog is dried appropriately for their age and coat type before moving to a one-hour styling session on the table.
Our work focuses on precision styling, coat care and maintaining a consistent result over time. With experience across competition grooming, media work and high-maintenance coat types, we operate to a higher standard than typical high street salons.
Every groom is tailored to your dog’s coat, condition and behaviour. There is no one-size-fits-all approach.
Teeth cleaning
Ultrasonic teeth cleaning is also offered as a stand-alone service, with monthly clinics for clients focusing solely on their dog’s oral health.
The 10kg weight limit does not apply to teeth-only appointments.
What we don’t do
We prioritise your dog’s comfort and welfare.
This means we do not rush grooms, work to tight time slots or take on high volumes of dogs in a day.
For your dog’s comfort, we do not dematt heavily tangled coats. If your dog becomes matted, we will always choose the kindest option and guide you on how to prevent it happening again.
Our work is based on maintaining your dog’s coat in good condition, not correcting long gaps between appointments.
Regular grooming
This level of care only works when your dog is maintained on a regular schedule.
Gaps longer than 6 weeks between grooms will lead to coat and comfort issues.
Keeping your dog on a consistent schedule allows us to maintain condition, achieve a better finish and create a calmer experience over time.
"Pixie" arrived severely matted and uncomfortable, the most extreme case I had ever seen, but went on to enjoy ten wonderful years with a loving new family.
This shavedown was completed at Alma Road Vets under veterinary supervision.
She was subsequently groomed here every 6 weeks for the rest of her life.
