Dog Grooming in Stockton, Cleveland

Pamela has been grooming pet dogs for over 18 years. With patience and understanding Pamela has helped many dogs overcome their fears and phobia’s of being brushed, bathed or even touched.

When you first bring your dog for grooming you will be asked a few routine questions about the dog's health and temperament, going on to discuss styling requirements. The grooming normally follows the following procedure:

  • Brief check of coat condition and general health
  • Pluck and clean ears as required
  • Trim nails as required
  • Groom out, de-matt, clip depending on breed type
  • Bath in appropriate shampoo (condition if necessary)
  • Blow dry & style as requested

Pamela understands that each dog is an individual and the service is tailored to suit the particular dog and their owner. She works on a one-to-one basis and provides a calm environment to ensure each visit is as stress-free as possible.

A record is kept for each dog, detailing all aspects of each visit. Any problems noted with regards to health or behaviour will be reported immediately to the owner. An honest account of how the dog coped with the experience will always be relayed to the owner.

All breeds and cross-breeds are catered for as well as those listed above.

Pampered Pooch Service

Luxury Bath

Treat your pet to a soothing wash using the very best nutrient-rich conditioning shampoos which add a healthy shine and softness to the coat. After bathing your pet will be towel dried before finishing off with the appropriate specialised drier which ensures the undercoat is fully dry.

Brush-out

Our Brushing service can benefit long coated breeds. Matting is usually caused by wetness in the coat either through rain, wet ground/grass, swimming or friction from wearing a collar and can occur from any activity such as playing or walking. Dogs Buddy uses specialised Brushing equipment, conditioners and combs to restore your pets coat and keep it healthy. Brushing is recommended every 1-3 months. If left unattended matting can cause skin irritation and discomfort possibly leading to infection.

Fringe Trim

For long haired dogs! Hair covering the eyes impairs their vision causing them to see the world in a different perspective, ultimately causing behaviour issues. It is essential that the hair covering the eyes is kept short to prevent this occurring a fringe trim is recommended once the hair begins to cover the eyes.

Nail Care

Professional Nail and Paw care is important because if left unattended these areas can cause great discomfort to a dog. Clipping the fur between toes and pads minimises future tats and stops debris collecting. This is particularly important when grass seed is prevalent. Inactive old dogs need nails checking frequently and dogs leading an active lifestyle require nail trimming and paw care approximately every 6 to 8 weeks depending on breed.

Ears

Our ear care service involves the gentle cleaning and trimming of the ears. Dogs with folded ears benefit most from ear care as the fold in the ear creates an ideal breeding ground for bacteria. Any excess ear hair is gently removed to help keep the ear dry and prevent build up of dirt. Dogs with heavy drooping ears have the underside clipped short and the outside is trimmed of bulky hair to achieve a lighter ear with better air circulation. It is very important to check in ears when dogs are exercised in long grass.
