Coat care
Nails, ears and paw tidy
A quick walk-in for nails, pad hair and ear cleaning, the finishing tools without the full groom.
Nails clipped and filed to a comfortable length with the same nail grinder we use to finish every full groom, pad hair trimmed flat so your dog stops skating on the salon's timber floor, and ears cleaned and checked for anything that needs a vet rather than a groomer. We take our time with the feet, because most dogs that hate nails have had them quicked once and remembered it. If your dog is not ready today, we do two paws and try the rest next week at no charge.

Questions about this
Nails, ears and paw tidy, answered
-
Do I need an appointment for nails?
Not on a Wednesday or Thursday between ten and midday. Any other time it is better to ring first.
-
My dog will not let anyone touch his feet.
Then we do what we can and stop. Two paws today, two next fortnight. We would rather build the habit than win the argument.
