Nail trims
Trimming nails is one of the most widely needed aspects of grooming, but it is also one of the most challenging for many dogs. For pets fearful of nail trims, re-introducing them to the process sets them up for stress free nail maintenance moving forward.
Full groom too overwhelming for your dog?
Grooming is a long and intimate process, which can be overwhelming for some dogs. We can book a short appointment to focus on your pet's most urgent grooming or training needs. This approach is great for seniors, puppies and dogs who are not yet confident with grooming.
