Compare what’s included below. A tidy, a face-and-feet groom and a full haircut each offer a different level of coat care.

Full Groom & Style

Bath & Tidy care plus a full haircut, from a breed style to a teddy-bear trim or your preferred look.

  • Bath and conditioner
  • Blow-dry and brush-out
  • Nail trim and ear cleaning
  • Sanitary trim and trimming between the paw pads
  • Anal-gland care, where appropriate
  • For longer coats, minor cleanup around the eyes, beard and muzzle where needed
  • Full-body haircut and styling to your preference

We adapt each groom to your pet’s coat, comfort and needs. Ask us about specialty hand stripping for suitable wire-coated breeds.

Bath & Tidy

A bath and routine tidy for short or longer coats, with minor face cleanup where needed.

  • Bath and conditioner
  • Blow-dry and brush-out
  • Nail trim and ear cleaning
  • Sanitary trim and trimming between the paw pads
  • Anal-gland care, where appropriate
  • For longer coats, minor cleanup around the eyes, beard and muzzle where needed

Minor face cleanup is different from a fully shaped head and face. For that, choose Mini Groom. Ask about de-shedding for your dog’s coat.

Mini Groom

Bath & Tidy plus a fully groomed head and face and shaped paws, keeping the body coat at its current length.

  • Bath and conditioner
  • Blow-dry and brush-out
  • Nail trim and ear cleaning
  • Sanitary trim and trimming between the paw pads
  • Anal-gland care, where appropriate
  • For longer coats, minor cleanup around the eyes, beard and muzzle where needed
  • Full head and face groom
  • Shaped paw trim, if requested
  • No body-length haircut

A good choice when the face and feet need a full trim but you want to keep the length of the body coat.

Cat Grooming

Patient grooming for cats, with feline-experienced groomers and handling suited to your cat.

  • Cat-specific coat care
  • Lion cuts and sanitary trims available
  • Separate handling appropriate to your cat’s comfort and safety

Tell us about your cat’s coat and grooming needs when you request an appointment so we can discuss the right service.

TheraClean

A micro-bubble bath that helps loosen dead undercoat and lift dirt, dander and allergens from the coat. Available as an add-on or a standalone bath.

Explore TheraClean

Looking for de-shedding?

De-shedding can be part of your dog’s Bath & Tidy care. For a more thorough de-shed, ask about TheraClean: its micro-bubbles help loosen dead undercoat before the brush-out.

We can discuss adding TheraClean to a grooming visit or booking it as a standalone bath. It is not automatically included in a standard groom.

À la Carte / Add-ons

Book a nail trim on its own, or ask about teeth brushing, color and specialty hand stripping. Availability depends on your pet and the service.

Request a standalone service through À la Carte / Add-ons in the appointment form. If you’re booking a bath or groom, mention any extras in your appointment notes.

Nail-trim-only appointments

Come in just for a nail trim, without booking a bath or haircut. Nail trimming is also included in our dog bath and grooming services.

  • Available as a standalone appointment
  • Choose À la Carte / Add-ons and write “nail trim” in your request

Teeth brushing

Ask to add teeth brushing to your pet’s visit. It is an optional extra, rather than an automatic part of Bath & Tidy, Mini Groom or Full Groom & Style.

  • Offered as an add-on to grooming
  • Mention teeth brushing in your appointment notes so we can discuss availability

Color

Add color to your dog’s groom. Tell us the look you have in mind when requesting an appointment so we can discuss the options with you.

  • Available by request as an add-on
  • Share the color and areas of the coat you’d like us to consider

Specialty hand stripping

We offer hand stripping for suitable wire-coated breeds, including terriers. This is a specialty grooming service and is not automatically included in a standard haircut.

  • For appropriate wire-coated breeds
  • Tell us your dog’s breed and coat needs so we can discuss a suitable appointment

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does grooming cost?

Grooming prices vary by breed, size, hair type, coat condition and length, the type of haircut, and your pet's temperament. Dogs with coats over 1 inch, matted or very thick coats, or temperamental personalities take extra time, and the price reflects that. We recommend grooming every 4 to 8 weeks; dogs we haven't seen in 10 to 12 weeks incur a non-regular customer fee. This does not apply to cats or short-haired dogs.

What is the difference between Bath & Tidy and Mini Groom?

Bath & Tidy includes bathing and routine tidy care, with minor cleanup around the eyes, beard and muzzle where needed. Mini Groom adds a fully groomed head and face and shaped paws, without taking length off the body coat.

Do you groom puppies and senior pets?

Yes. We take extra care introducing puppies to grooming and adapting each visit to older pets. This care is part of our bath and grooming services, rather than a separate puppy package.

Can I book just a nail trim?

Yes. You can request an À la Carte appointment for a nail trim without booking a bath or full groom. Tell us what you need in the appointment form.

What can I request for de-shedding?

Ask about de-shedding with Bath & Tidy or a TheraClean micro-bubble bath. TheraClean helps loosen dead undercoat before the brush-out and is available as an add-on or a standalone bath. Tell us about your dog’s coat so we can discuss the right service.

Are teeth brushing and color included in a groom?

No. Teeth brushing and color are optional add-ons. Mention them in your appointment notes, or choose À la Carte / Add-ons and describe what you’d like. We’ll discuss availability when confirming your request.

What are your grooming hours?

We groom Monday – Saturday from 9:00 am, and Sunday from 10:00 am.

Are all pets cage-free?

Cage-free options are available for dogs who are comfortable around other dogs. We use separate spaces or crates when a pet’s safety and comfort call for them. Cats receive appropriate separate handling.
