We're excited to offer puppy introduction sessions to help your little one become familiar with a dog grooming salon's sights, smells, sounds, and sensations.

We highly recommend that all puppies under six months complete these sessions before their first full groom. This gradual approach  ensures a positive and safe introduction to grooming. Perfect for puppies aged 12 weeks (post-vaccinations) to six months, these sessions are about creating a gentle, trust-based foundation, prioritising your puppy's comfort and wellbeing at every step.

Our approach involves gradual, stress free grooming exposure, with appointments spaced every week or two. This pacing ensures your pup feels safe and relaxed, building a positive association with grooming. We also provide advice and support to help reinforce grooming routines at home, ensuring your puppy remains comfortable and builds confidence between sessions.

Step One: Getting to Know Each Other (20–30 minutes)

During their first visit, we'll focus on making your puppy feel calm and welcome. Our groomers gently introduce them to the salon environment, offering plenty of playtime and light handling to create a positive experience.

You're welcome to stay and enjoy a cup of tea while your puppy explores and gets comfortable!

Step Two: Building Confidence (60–90 minutes)

Following session one, we continue to help your puppy feel at ease with the grooming salon's sounds, sensations, and routines. Your pup will enjoy a gentle wash, massage and blow dry, with gradual introductions to light scissoring, clipping, ear cleaning, and nail trimming. Every step is handled with the utmost care to ensure your puppy feels safe, calm, and relaxed.

Step Three: The Full Grooming Experience (90–120 minutes)

The final session is all about giving your puppy a complete grooming experience! This includes a bath, blow dry, brushing, face trim, nail trim, ear cleaning, and a coat trim or clip. By this stage, your puppy will be comfortable with the grooming process and ready to transition confidently into our adult grooming sessions.

Our Three puppy grooming sessions are £60.00.

Depending on your puppy, we recommend repeating steps if needed to help them build confidence and feel happy before moving forward. Each additional session for this will incur an extra charge.
