Ultrasonic teeth cleaning 

It is estimated that by the time they are 2 years old, 80% of dogs begin to show signs of oral disease and in the past the only option for teeth cleaning was to have your beloved dog sedated and teeth cleaned by the vet!

We now offer Ultrasonic teeth cleaning – a service that can hugely benefit your dog 

We use an ultrasound toothbrush (each dog has their own personal toothbrush) and a specially formulated ultrasound toothpaste.   Ultrasound reaches deep below the gum line to kill germs and bacteria and cleans the teeth and gums to prevent the build up of plaque and tartar.  At the same time it increases the blood flow to the gums to heal wounds and stop bleeding.

FAQ’s

 

Holistic grooming is the practice of grooming your pet in a stress-free environment in order to provide optimal health for both their body and mind – no cages, a gentle approach that always ensures that your canine family are happy and cared for.

We are incredibly passionate about dogs and their well-being, and are patient and understanding with pooches that may be new to grooming, nervous about being handled, or have had a bad grooming experience before.

You are welcome to stay and some customers feel their dog will be better behaved if they stay with them, but in the majority of cases this can have the opposite effect. Dogs can be nervous at first because they may not be used to the salon or without you for long, but they soon get used to the routine of being groomed and will enjoy the calm environment we have at Hairy Dog Grooming Salon. If you stay, your dog will be poised ready to go with you and they won’t be able to relax so it will be best for you to quietly leave after your consultation and return at the given time (please do not arrive any earlier as this will also excite your dog and will make it extremely difficult to finish the groom).

A full groom is a bath with the highest quality shampoo selected to suit your individual dogs needs along with a luxury blueberry facial. We listen to what look you want for your dog and cut their hair and style your dog.

We clip your dogs nails and clean there ears finish with a spritz of organic afpawshave and allow them to have a play round the salon when they are all done!

We now offer Ultrasonic teeth cleaning – a service that can hugely benefit your dog 

We use an ultrasound toothbrush (each dog has their own personal toothbrush) and a specially formulated ultrasound toothpaste.   Ultrasound reaches deep below the gum line to kill germs and bacteria and cleans the teeth and gums to prevent the build up of plaque and tartar.  At the same time it increases the blood flow to the gums to heal wounds and stop bleeding. 

Price is based on your individual dog – just like going to the hairdressers different dogs have different needs and prices are based accordingly. Pop in with your pup if you want a price and we can do a consultation.

This is a very common assumption, but actually many short haired breeds shed much more than others! These breeds will benefit more from regular grooming as we have professional tools and treatments which will help to reduce the amount of dead hair in their coat and in turn, the amount of hair dropped on your carpets!

When your puppy is comfortable being handled, you are ready to begin brushing and combing. Puppies should be introduced to professional grooming when they are about 10 to 12-weeks-old or have had their second round of vaccines. Most dogs will require grooming every four to eight weeks. We have the Puppy University to introduce your puppy to the groomers in a gentle and controlled way so that they enjoy coming and see it as a treat!

We recommend that you brush your dog between grooms as this ensures that they get more comfortable and it also prevents tangles! We can recommend the best brushes for you to use.

Anywhere from 2 to 6 hours. Easier dogs to groom such as pugs, small beagles, and short haired chihuahuas can usually get groomed quite quickly. But larger dogs that require heavy lifting and have more surface area with a lot of hair, require more time. Any dogs that require scissoring usually take 3 to 4 hours. Dogs that require a lot of scissoring such as standard poodles can take up to 4 to 6 hours to groom.

Also remember that grooming dogs is similar to working with children because they usually won’t sit still, they sometimes will bite, sometimes have accidents (urinate or defecate ), and/or they would rather be playing than having to get a bath and on and on. All of these factors which are hard to control immediately increase the time that it takes to groom the dogs.

Grooming scissors are extremely sharp and groomers have to use extreme care when scissoring on a dog’s body especially considering around a dog’s eyes and feet. Otherwise one mistake could mean a trip to the vet. Due to this fact, scissoring on a dog should NEVER be rushed and therefore adds to the time it takes to safely groom your dog.

We may take longer to groom your dog than you may have experienced at other places. We practice safety first rather than rushing and risk injury to your dog. Our focus is to provide a gentle grooming experience for your dog that will lead to your dog leaving our salon looking gorgeous!
