Dear customers,
My name is Diana and I am a fully qualified dog groomer, with europass (acknowledged throughout EU) certificate.
I offer gentle care for dogs of all breeds, except xl breeds, ages and temperament.
​Please note, I have temporarily closed my books for new clients, only open for puppies under 6 months of age.
At me the dog comes first .
I believe in gentle grooming, for which I think lots of praise and one to one attention is the key.​
I am working on one dog at a time, without any rush, crate free, leaving time between grooming processes if necessary, no distraction by other dogs.
​A treat, a cuddle or short stroll in the enclosed garden can be invaluable especially at puppies or older dogs - I believe this could not be achieved in an industrialised, sometimes hectic groming parlour .
I am working from home with all the equipment, devotion, knowledge, creativity and love for dogs needed for a professional groom.
I use top quality all natural, vegan friendly, hypoallergenic shampoos & pawfumes only.
Paw naturel and Millys products are all hypoallergenic, free from paraben, alcohol, SLS/SLES, vegan friendly, cruelty free, puppy friendly, tested on humans.

Hope to see You soon!

Diana

Services

 

Bath & Brush out sessions

This service is only for regulary groomed, matt free doggies.
Includes :
- bath (shampoo/conditioner )
- brush out
- high velocity and/or fluff-dry
- ear / eye clean
- pawdicure
- conditioning spritz
- cologne


Bath & Brush out sessions are for in between full grooms to maintain knot free, healthy coat.
It is great for longer haired breeds, that need a good brush out more often than a clip.
It includes a bath (shampoo and conditioner), a dry, thorough brush out( removing dead hairs trapped in curly or vawy coats that are responsible for tangles and matts) nail clip, ear clean, tidy eyes, tidy paws.
Please note the aim of this service is to MAINTAIN good quality coat not for dematting, in case of excessive knotting, dematting charges will apply on top.
If you are on a 6,8,10 weekly schedule but by the time grooming comes they are more often knotty than not, try this half way :)
​Or if you prefer them long and shaggy pop in every 2 or 4 weekly for a brush & bath only so you can keep them fluffy but knot free.
Dematting is painful and as I break the knots up I break the hair shafts as well, regardless what great products are for my aid. This results in frizzy, damaged, brittle hair, which will be matted twice as fast again if not looked after properly.

Ultrasound teeth claning

Ultrasound teeth cleaning

Motionless, soundless, non-invasive, no need for anesthetic
Happy to answer all your questions, feel free to book a slot for a plaque/tartar removing session lasts roughly around 1h (depending on dogs cooperation), also doing mini sessions for preventing oral diseases for younger dogs or as a follow up treatment.
-Effective dental care and mouth hygiene for your pet. Helps to eliminate gingivitis and periodontitis oral cavity diseases plaque and tartar build up and bad breath.
-Motionless and and soundless cleaning
The specially formulated toothpaste, which is suitable for animals, cleans teeth and gums to prevent the build up of plaque and tartar. Ultrasound reaches deep below the gum line to kill germs and bacteria, at the same time it increases the blood flow to the gums to heal wounds and stop bleeding. Gum inflammation, plaque formation, paradontitis or mechanic plaque removal under anesthesia is a burden for animal and owner. With the Emmi-pet your pet is treated in the most comfortable way. It is motionless and soundless during cleaning.
-No brushing - A great advantage for gum problems. It cleans painlessly, smoothly and thoroughly without brushing, it is pure Ultrasound. It also stimulates the blood circulation of the gum tissue and releases body energies.

​Plaque and tartar build up removal :
Ł35-Ł50
Preventive treatment first session at younger dogs :
Ł20 later Ł15
Optional follow up treatment after plague removal to prevent build up again (recommended 2-3 times/year):
​£ 15

​Doggie tatto :
​

I'm offering some little extra for short haired breeds as well - that is the doggie tatto - which is only clipping the hair shorter in a shape of a heart, paw or some other simple design for a unique, creative yet stylish and tasteful finishing touch.

Happy Hoodie and the Calming Cradle

The way I groom all four pawed friends is what I describe "gentle grooming" which means I leave plenty of time for the visitor to have a look around, discover the new and interesting smells plus a treat is a must before we start the makeover. But it's not all about hugs and reflecting calmness which they pick up immediately - it's the constant seeking for stress reliving methods / tricks / equipment/ products as well. That's why I am using Happy Hoodie - because pets are often scared and upset with the deafening noise and high pressured air associated with force drying or even the plain hairdryer can scare them. Happy hoddie muffles the noise and keeps the high-pressured air from getting into the ears so it produces an immediate calming effect. In addition I don't use cage dryers as I am not working on two pets at the same time - I start and finish one dog at a time - no one is put on hold even for a minute.
​Also I am using a sling (calming cradle) for dogs that are sensitive for their legs, paws, nail clipping - it holds them securerely and they are snug as a bug till I finishand Calming

Matted coats

Pets with matted coats need extra attention during their grooming session.
Mats left in a pet’s coat only grow tighter, and can strangle a pets skin, or eventually tear it open.
I do not wish to cause serious and undue stress to your pet, and will not continually de-mat your pet for you.
Mats can be very difficult to remove and may require the pet to be shaved. When necessary, removing a heavily matted coat includes risk of nicks, cuts or abrasions due to warts, moles or skin folds trapped in the mats.
Heavy matting can also trap moisture and urine near the pet’s skin allowing mould, fungus or bacteria to grow, causing skin irritations that existed prior to the grooming process. Torn skin from mats can also harbour maggots.
After effects of mat removal procedures can include itchiness, skin redness, self-inflicted irritations or abrasions and failure of the hair to re-grow. In some cases pets may also exhibit brief behavioural changes.
​Prevention is the best defence against matting by scheduling regular grooming appointments.
There is an extra charge for matted dogs.
