Your dog’s welfare is our number one priority so no matter how well we already know him or her  we will always carry out a health check at each grooming session looking for any signs of allergies, lumps, bumps and sores.  We'll advise you quickly of anything that needs yours or your vets attention. 

Almost every dog will have fleas at some time during their life. It is not a sign that the dog is dirty or neglected, just part of owning a dog.  

Tell tale signs that your dog has fleas

- Flea Dirt- black specks on your pet or in your pets bed.

- Scratching- your dog will be restless & scratch excessively.

- See them- You may see the fleas on the dog or in your home.

As well as causing irritation due to scratching, fleas can also cause other problems such as anemia and skin allergies which can lead to hair loss and skin infections etc.

Treatment

Our treatment will not entirely solve the problem as approximately only  5% of fleas will be on the dog, the other 95% are at the home in carpets, bedding and soft furnishings, so  It is important to also treat the home. not forgetting the car. 

We can only  book this treatment on evenings to allow for proper time to disinfect the salon after. If we find fleas on your dog and had not been made aware before hand we will not be able to carry out the groom and you will be asked to reschedule your appointment. 

All puppies need to get use to the big wide world from an early age to allow them to grow into confident and happy dogs. Once a puppy has completed their vaccinations, we encourage owners to book their puppy into the salon as soon as possible as this helps them deal with the new sights, sounds and smells and allows grooming to become part of the norm for them.

 Just as with nervous dogs, we will never rush grooming your pup and will always handle him or her with plenty of TLC.

Our regular health check will apply as standard.
