Priced as a bath or groom by size

A puppy's first grooming visit, done gently

A puppy's first few grooming visits decide how they feel about it for the next fifteen years. The goal at this stage is not a perfect haircut — it is a puppy who thinks the van is a fine place to be.

We keep the first visit short and positive. Most puppies are ready once they have finished their core vaccinations; check the timing with your vet.

What the visit covers

  • Gentle bath and a low-noise, hand-held dry
  • Introduction to clippers and the sound of them, without a full haircut if that is too much
  • Feet, ears, and face handled slowly so it stops being scary
  • First nail trim
  • Honest feedback on your puppy's coat type and how often it will need grooming

Why it is easier in the van

  • Your driveway is familiar territory, and you are right inside if needed.
  • No lobby full of adult dogs to overwhelm a young puppy.
  • One-on-one attention means we can go at the puppy's pace and stop early if we need to.

Common questions

How old should my puppy be?
Most puppies start after their core vaccination series is complete, often around 12 to 16 weeks. Your vet's guidance comes first.
What if my puppy will not sit still?
That is normal and expected. We do what the puppy allows and build on it next time rather than forcing a finished haircut.
