Start before grooming becomes a fight.
Early, low-pressure grooming helps your puppy learn the sounds, table, dryer and handling before their adult coat arrives.

What your puppy gets
A puppy groom is about confidence first and coat second. We keep it short, gentle and useful.
- Warm bath
- Gentle dry
- Brush and comb-out
- Nails and ears
- Sanitary tidy
- Calm handling throughout
16 weeks is fine.
Your puppy does not need to wait until their full vaccination course is complete. Tell us their age when you book.
If your puppy needs to stop, we stop.
We would rather build trust than force a perfect finish. Nervous puppies get slower handling and shorter sessions.

Cavoodles, Spoodles, Poodles, Bichons, Shih Tzus, Maltese, Schnauzers and mixed-breed puppies all benefit from early coat handling.
Before you come
Keep the morning simple. Bring your puppy on lead. Tell us about mats, sore spots, fear of dryers or handling worries. The more honest you are, the better we can pace the groom.
