Grooms by Zoe

Full Groom

A Full Groom consists of a full health check, where we assess your dog from head to tail. This will highlight any health issues with your dog.

Next, they are thoroughly bathed twice in coat specific shampoo, and some breeds are also treated with conditioner. They are then brushed and dried according to their coat type. I will then clip, scissor, or de-shed your dog according to its needs.

And finally, I trim their nails, clean their ears, and give them a spritz of cologne.

Hand Strip

Hand stripping involves removing the dead hair by hand, instead of clipping them. Only certain breeds need to be hand stripped. I start by performing a full health check, where we assess your dog from head to tail. This will highlight any health issues with your dog.

Next, I begin hand stripping the outer guard hairs from the coat. This does not hurt, as the coat has already ‘blown’ (or has already detached from the root follicle) and is ready to be plucked out, ready for the new hairs to grow through. When the hand-strip is complete, they are bathed in a sensitive shampoo and gently dried.

Finally, I trim their nails, clean their ears, and give them a spritz of cologne.

Puppy’s First Groom

A Puppy Groom is designed to introduce your puppy to the sights and sounds of the grooming salon.

They are gently bathed in coat specific shampoo, given a quiet blow dry, then a small scissor trim around their feet to tidy them up. I also introduce them to nail trimming before giving them a spritz of cologne.

After this groom, your dog will be ready to move on to full grooms.

Bath, Brush & Blow-dry (BBB)

The BBB consists of a health check, where we assess your dog from head to tail. This will highlight any health issues with your dog.

Next, they are thoroughly bathed twice in coat specific shampoo, and some breeds a treated with conditioner. They are then brushed and dried according to their coat type.

Please note: This does not include any de-shedding or styling. Please book the appropriate Full Groom appointment if that’s what you require.
