I can groom most cats in a kind and professional manner, even the sassy ones! However if I feel the cat is stressed or uncomfortable or is biting to the extent of serious injury to myself or my groomers I will stop and refer you to a Vets. I groom Maine Coons, Persians, Ragdolls, Blues and so on.
Some cats require clipping due to heavy coats or matting, this is something I can do and I offer a variety of services eg lion cuts, scissor work, clipping out matts however if the cat is uncomfortable and there’s a chance of injury I will refer you to a vets.
Even naked cats need cleaning!! Also short haired cats, especially senior cats need their hair brushing and dead hair removing.
I train Students to groom cats and I occasionally need models for this. The Students work with me on the cats so I can observe safety. We offer brush outs for £30 and clipping, matt removal, lion trims for £60

PREVENTATIVE DENTAL CARE HAS NEVER BEEN MORE IMPORTANT!
We offer you Emmi Pet ultrasonic teeth cleaning for dogs and puppies!
Emmi Pet is a specially formulated ultrasonic toothbrush to reach deep below the gum line to kill germs and bacteria whilst cleaning the teeth and gums to prevent the build up of plaque and tartar.
The unique microchip in the toothbrush head, when combined with the specialist toothpaste and water acts as a conductor creating ultrasonic waves. These waves work through the bristles to create microscopic nanobubbles that work to soften plaque and tartar and help to eliminate food and bacteria particles from the dog’s mouth.
This is all done with absolutely no noise, no movement and no brushing resulting in healthy oral hygiene and happy dogs!

Jo, Sadie and Molly have all passed an Emmipet teeth cleaning course, where we learnt how to grade the level of plaque and identify if a Groomer can clean the teeth or it needs a Vet referral.

We have add onto groom prices at £20, single sessions at £35 and courses if your dog requires intense cleaning over a period of time or you just want to keep up with this over a year.

We are happy for you to pop by any time to consult on your dogs teeth cleaning requirements. You are always welcome.
Check out this great video to learn a little more about the Emmi Pet toothbrush and how it can help your dog.
