Grooming that puts your dog's comfort first, from the first brush to the final trim
We groom dogs of every size and coat type in a quiet, purpose built studio away from the noise of a busy salon. Every appointment is unhurried, so nervous dogs get the time they need to settle.
Grooming built around your dog, not a fixed routine

Read moreHow a nervous rescue dog learnt to enjoy the grooming table
The studio opened in Newton Abbot with a single grooming table and a simple idea: dogs groom better when they are not rushed. Word spread through local vets and rescue groups and the salon grew slowly from there rather than expanding too quickly.
Every groomer on the team holds a recognised grooming qualification and completes ongoing training in handling anxious or reactive dogs. We would rather turn away a booking that does not suit our pace than squeeze in an appointment that leaves a dog stressed.
Real dogs, real grooms
Bramble's first groom
A collie surrendered with a badly matted coat needed a full shave and several months of careful regrowth care.
Getting Digger ring ready
A wire fox terrier's owner wanted a proper hand stripped coat ahead of a local dog show.
Patience for a nervous lurcher
An adult rescue lurcher too frightened for a full groom built up confidence through short introduction style visits.
