Grooming

We pride ourselves on our professional service and cater for all breeds, coats and types of cuts.  We understand that some dogs are anxious when being washed or clipped and our aim is to ensure the grooming experience causes the least amount of stress for your dog.

Facilities

Our purpose built, hygienic, state of the art facilities are second to none. Our parlour is fully heated to ensure your dog stays warm throughout the groom. The parlour has been purposely designed for ease of use for both our in-house groomer and you our client. There is no uncomfortable lifting or bending required as our 5 metre dog wash is accessed via a small step and dogs can be walked up the tiers to the correct washing height for their size. Our two modern power showers deliver a choice of directional sprays from a powerful rinse to a soft and relaxing massage spray. The fully tiled dog wash is non slip and due to its open plan design is less stressful for dogs that dislike smaller, claustrophobic type dog baths. In addition to our dog wash we have a very deep stainless steel sink for smaller dogs that enjoy a bath rather than a shower. Our facilities also boast an adjustable height clipping table with all the professional level grooming tools. We have invested in a forced air blaster/dryer with a choice of settings for all types of coat giving us the ability to dry your dog as quickly as possible with minimum stress. We use a professional range of freshly fragranced shampoos and conditioning treatments to individually cater for different coat types and skin conditions.

Professional Grooming

Our groomer is fully trained in all types of breed specific cuts. Her experience and knowledge in dog behaviour and safe handling ensures that your dogs grooming experience is a positive one. A professional groom begins with your dog being brushed and pre-clipped using professional competition clippers before being showered and dried. A final clip is carried out to ensure no stray hairs are missed. A full works groom also includes ears and eyes cleaned and nails clipped.

Doggie Wash & Brush up

Why not treat your dog to a wash & brush up on the day of departure. Your dog will enjoy a full shampoo selected from our fabulous range of scents, a blow dry, a thorough brush and comb all finished off with a spray of doggie cologne of your choice. We offer this service to resident and non-resident dogs.

Dog wash hire

Our fantastic dog wash is available for you to hire in hourly slots, ideal for people who prefer to wash their own dogs. We supply the shampoo and the air blaster/dryer, all we ask is that you bring along a towel and your own dogs brushes and combs. Our charges are £10.00 an hour to hire the dog wash.

We are always on hand to offer you friendly advice on how to maintain your dogs’ coat. So, if like us you will not compromise on attention to detail, a professional, reliable service and of course the welfare of your dog then the Highwood Kennels Grooming Studio is “the place” to get your dog groomed.
