Grooming salon

In our grooming salon we mainly focus on making dogs look like their standard and breed function. All dogs are groomed by a groomer with experience grooming and presenting conformation in the breed.

How we work

An appointment lasts on average 2 hours. During the appointment, the coat is shaved, stripped or cut. The nails are shortened if the dog allows this. Earphones assessed and taken care of where possible. Of course, the dog is also washed and dried.
We only cut/strip models if the dog comes every 4 to 6 weeks.
Shave models every 8 to 14 weeks, depending on the speed at which the hair grows and becomes felted.

Severely matted or felted?

Dogs with very many tangles will be shaved without consultation. If dogs are seriously tangled, there is no other solution than shaving them completely with 3 mm. Detangling a completely matted coat is very painful for the dog and for that reason we will not perform it. Of course, after a shave, with proper maintenance, the coat can be kept longer next time.

The dog in the grooming salon

Some dogs don’t like being trimmed. This does not always have to do with habituation, but can also be in the dog’s nature. We then advise you to have the dog shaved briefly and the head cut. Often a less stressful treatment for the dog that preserves the hair on the head (if the dog allows this).
Between trims it is important to regularly shorten the length of the nails, the hair around the anus and genitals. The hair that restricts the dog’s vision must also be trimmed regularly so that the dog can see.

Make an appointment?

Appointments can be scheduled by text or WhatsApp. This usually means that your dog comes to us at an agreed time and can be picked up again two hours later.
Prepare your dog well for the grooming. Practice washing and using the water blower regularly with your dog, this makes the visit to the grooming salon a lot easier for your dog.
It is with us unfortunately not possible for you as the owner to be present during the treatment. On rare occasion, teaching session can be arranged on how to upkeep your puppy at home between sessions.
