Dog Grooming

Hi there dog parents,

My name is Lucy. I am fully qualified (having trained at Tendring Dog Grooming Academy, gaining the AIM Level 3 Award and Certificate), first aid trained and fully insured. My grooms are one-to-one in my dog grooming salon based in Colchester, Essex.

I offer a free initial 30 min consultation to meet you and your dog.

| Level 3 Qualified

Full Groom

From only £30

Bath & Blowdry

From £20

Nail Clipping

Just £10

Teeth Cleaning

Ultrasonic teeth cleaning £15

Puppy Introduction Package

Small – £20       Medium – £25        Large – £30

1 x initial consultation: bring your puppy along so I can meet you both.

1 x 1hr ‘get to know session’: you will leave your puppy with me and they will spend the hour getting to know me, and all of the sounds of the equipment in the salon. This is important for them to get used to, to help with all future grooms as they grow up.

1 x puppy groom: your puppy will be bathed, and will have a ‘puppy trim’ (if this is needed).

All puppies will be given extra cuddles during these sessions, and once completed will receive a special treat and a certificate!

Please note that I am unable to see puppies until at least 2 weeks after their second vaccination, to ensure they are protected. I may ask for proof of this.

Located in Colchester

All of my services are offered one to one, and take place in a purpose-built salon at my home in St Johns, Colchester.

Testimonials

Lucy was very responsive with my initial enquiry for a dog groom and offered a consultation to go through preferences. It was my first time taking my dog to a groomers and she was so welcoming and kept my slightly anxious dog at ease. Loved seeing the photos of my girl being pampered and will definitely return 😊

FAQs

Unfortunately I do not offer hand-stripping.

I do not offer grooming for show dogs.

48 hours or more - no charge

24-48 hours - 50% charge

24 hours or less - full charge

No show - full charge

I of course do understand that life happens and that some things are out of our control, so if you have a valid reason for cancelling/ not showing then I will be flexible.

If I myself have to cancel for any reason, then of course there will be no charge.

If you are running late to an appointment please call and let me know as soon as possible. Up to 15 minutes late then I will hopefully be able to proceed with the groom. Any longer than 15 minutes and I will have to cancel the groom and you will need to reschedule, and you will be charged 50% of the appointment fee.

If your dog is matted, they may be required to be clipped very short. As of the Animal Welfare Act 2006, I will not attempt to brush out severe matting as this will cause pain to the dog and is unethical.


An additional cost for this will be added to your full groom price (this will be discussed first) as matted fur damages grooming equipment.
