- Eucalyptus Oil, Coconut Oil – wonderful for flea & ticks bites; leaves great shine, natural oil in coat & fresh smelling.
Smooth coated dogs are the easiest to groom. Twigs and debris cannot easily lodge in such coats, therefore combing and bathing is virtually ‘obstacle free'. Short coated dogs may have some debris in the fur, so the groomer must ensure that before bathing, a comb travels through the coat without being obstructed. Double coated dogs have a dense undercoat, which can mat and tangle badly, hence extensive combing and brushing is required before a bath can be attempted. Long and Silky coats can also tangle and mat, so extensive brushing and combing can be necessary. Woolly coated dogs require good brushing & special care in the ‘finishing’ process. Wire-haired breeds require lots of time for hand stripping or to set out the clipping pattern in the coat. Corded coats have a long drying process. The cords are specially wrapped and coated in order to maintain the coat properly.
All clean, clipped and scissored fur is recycled. It is retained for spinning and crafting into gloves or other garments as appropriate. If you would like a furry momento of your pet, please ask for details.
Profits from grooming sessions will be donated to Dogs Trust and the WWF. We hope to extend the list of charitable donations extensively!
