Grooming Services  

We offer a complete range of grooming services for your best friend.


Full groom:
This is our most popular service - it includes a thorough wash using specialist dog shampoo to suit your dogs’ skin and coat type followed by a luxurious conditioner. Your dog is then blow dried using a selection of dryers where the power level can be adjusted and lowered for nervous dogs. Your dogs’ ears are cleaned and plucked if necessary and nails are clipped. Your dog is then groomed to your wishes. All dogs can be groomed to breed standard or if you want to have any variations on this then these are followed. Dogs can have anything from a gentle tidy up to a full make over! All cross breeds are welcome and suitable styles will be suggested. Upon arrival at the salon styles will be discussed with you with the assistance of photographs of dogs previously groomed at Best Friends Grooming Salon.


Bath and Dry:
This includes a thorough bath using specialist dog shampoo and conditioner to suit your dogs skin and coat type. Your dog is then blow dried and has a luxurious leave in conditioner brushed into their coat so that they stay looking and smelling nice for longer!


NEW De-Shedding:
This treatment really is the answer for you if your dogs hairs are a problem, causing hairs on the carpets or allergic reactions. It is perfect for dogs that permanently shed hair all year round. A wide range of breeds can have this treatment and so far the most popular have been; Labradors, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Collies, Jack Russell’s and Cross-Breeds. Our de-shedding treatment can reduce your dogs constant shedding by up to 60 – 80%. All the dry and dead coat will be removed from your dog leaving them looking healthier and happier! This groom includes a wash and blow dry, de-shedding, any styling that you may wish, ears are cleaned and nails clipped.

FREE Puppy Socialisation Groom:
This free service is designed for puppies between 3 and 8 months old which have never been to a grooming salon before. This first visit can stop potential problems arising when your dog comes to be groomed in the future. Your puppy will recognise where it is when you leave it in the future to be groomed properly and will already be familiar with the noises of the salon. The visit lasts for about half an hour and most owners like to stay and watch!


Hand Stripping:
This is only suitable for some breeds and dogs which have never been clipped in the past. Hand Stripping is a form of grooming which entails the pulling out of the dogs’ dead coat by hand and by using stripping tools. Hand Stripping will leave your dogs looking tidy but still natural. Unlike clipping, hand stripping will not alter the texture or colour of the coat. Please phone for more details.


Nail Trimming:
All charges for nail trimming are donated to the local RSPCA branch at Gonsall Farm, Dorrington.
