Questions

Questions about your puppy's first groom

Ask us something else

When should my puppy have a first groom?

Many owners book a first groom once their puppy has settled in at home. A short, gentle visit early on helps a puppy get used to being handled, brushed and dried. Send the quote form with your puppy's breed and coat, and describe anything they find worrying.

Will my puppy cope if they are nervous?

Nervous dogs are part of the job. The grooming happens at your home, where your puppy already feels safe, and the groomer is gentle with nervous dogs. The work goes at the puppy's pace, so tell us in the quote form if your puppy is anxious.

What do you need to know before the visit?

The quote form asks for your postcode, your puppy's breed, their size, the condition of the coat and the service you want. You can add a photo of your puppy, which helps show coat length and condition.

Do you groom puppies of any breed?

Yes, all breeds are welcome, and many of the dogs we see are doodles and spaniels. Coat type shapes how the first groom is done, so give us the breed and coat condition when you request a quote.
