Cat and Dog Grooming
Expert designer grooming is available from Gavin, who has over twenty years' experience and is an award-winning groomer, and the great dog-groomer he has trained, Gemma. They are happy to do any breed to a high standard and all have a special gift for dealing with nervous, old and very young dogs. You can be sure your pet will be treated gently and with very great care while with us. We are fully insured and only professional equipment and top quality grooming products are used.Grooming: what we do
All cats and dogs are bathed, their nails and ears attended to, and their coats clipped or hand-stripped according to your requirements. We offer a collection and delivery service for grooming in the Abingdon, Didcot, Wantage, Grove and Wallingford areas at a charge of £5.00. Please check when you book that we are able to collect in your area because at times demand is very high.It is a good idea to exercise your pets before leaving them for grooming and no, sorry, you can't stay with them while grooming is going on. We are not insured for owners to stay with their dogs and after years of experience, we find it is much easier to groom a dog when the owners are not around. Your pet may be with us for three to four hours and can be collected at any time up to 5.30 p.m. We prefer to groom cats later in the day when it is quieter as they seem to benefit from the greater tranquillity.
