New Addition to The Family

Meet Elvis...

 

He's a 9 week old toy poodle and he is the newest addition to our family. We picked him up yesterday and he has been settling in well, as you can see...

Welcome home Elvis!

What is Creative Dog Grooming?

What is Creative Grooming?
 

The Creative Grooming industry is absolutely huge in the USA and is really starting to take off here in the UK too. It can include anything from an unusual haircut inspired by Asian styles, shaving intricate patterns or shapes into the fur, adding embellishments such as rhinestones, feathers, glitter and painted nails to the more extreme end of the spectrum such as colouring or dying of the fur.



Creative Grooming requires additional training and specialist product knowledge and should only be performed by a trained professional.


All treatments are completely safe for animals and are achieved using specially formulated non-toxic products made especially for pets. Under no circumstances are human products ever used.


 


As with our standard grooming services, we use natural, organic and cruelty free products where possible. We do not use permanent colourings and all of the treatments we provide are temporary. They can either be removed at your next visit to the Parlour or washed out in 1-3 shampoos.


Adding embellishments or colour can garner a lot of extra attention for a dog when out in public, and most of our fluffy friends absolutely love the extra fuss and cuddles they receive (even posing for photographs!) but it is for this reason that we will never perform creative grooming treatments on any shy, nervous or aggressive animals.

 

Our creative grooming services include Creative Colouring, Glitter and Colour Tattoos, Feather Extensions and Pawdicures.
