Firstly, I want to just say that we really wouldn’t be here without the continued support of all of our amazing customers and furiends.
But as groomers and service businesses up and down the country start to share their plans for price increases for the year ahead, it only felt right to share our own as early as possible to help you plan.
Dog Grooming Price Increase From 1st February 2024
For 2024, all full grooms and bath and brush outs will be increasing by £5, with all other spa service pricing remaining unchanged (for e.g mud baths, prem shampoo and teeth cleaning).
So while we are taking ..read more

Muddy walks galore!!

Take a moment and look down at what you are wearing today – exactly how many of your dog’s hairs can you find? (emoji face!)
Yep, I’m with you, there are too many to count and that white coat of my spaniels shows up everywhere and on everything!!! And I can’t cuddle Hope without being covered in hair right now! I love them … but.. argh!
So with summer in full swing, and those furry coat changes, we can find that both our clothes and homes seem to suffer. But it’s not just about appearance, our furiends are also at risk or building up dander, allergies and itchiness if we don ..read more

Last week we were chatting to one of our grooming customers who were off to spend time at a local secure dog field in Angus. With a spaniel who’s’ recall isn’t the best, they make time to book out a regular slot and they aren’t the only customer that we’ve found increasingly making use of secure dog fields.
However, as secure dog fields feel fairly new within the pet industry and the numbers are quite limited in Scotland, you might not know what to expect or where you can find one. So we’ve pulled together all the information in one place to help you find the pawfect secure dog field in Angus ..read more

The annual leave is booked and your excited to spend your staycation travelling with your dog(s) by your side. You’ve even FINALLY decided on the route you’d like to trip for that road trip.
BUT I know what it’s like. A few minutes turns to hours as those google searches take you down a rabbit hole trying to find the BEST Scottish campervan sites to visit with your dog.
Is it REALLY dog friendly I hear you say?

Yesterday I had a call from a Shih Poo owner asking for a price for their dog to be groomed. Completely understandable as whether it’s the first or last question that you ask about dog grooming, understanding what is included in your dog groom and how much it will cost, is an important part of deciding where to book your dog groom.
So when you’re faced with substantial differences in pricing from different groomers it can be confusing!!
But, I’m going to take a breath and address the elephant in the room first.
It’s NOT ALL ABOUT PRICE
What??? I hear you say. Haven’t you heard of that there is ..read more
