Before you get in touch

If your question is about a symptom, a lump, or a change in appetite, that one belongs with your vet, not with us. We will say so plainly rather than guess. For everything else, a short message with your pet's age, breed, and what you have already tried gets you a useful reply faster.

Questions owners ask before they book

Grooming slots, nail trims, tick checks and the supply shelf all come up in the first conversation. Here are the answers we give most often, in plain words.

How far ahead should I book a grooming appointment?

For a full groom, a week is usually enough. Saturdays and the week before school holidays fill up faster, so two weeks is safer then. Nail trims and quick tidy-ups often fit into the same week if you call in the morning.

Is a nail trim part of a full groom?

Yes, nails are included in a full groom. If your dog only needs nails done, that is a separate short visit and takes about fifteen minutes. Some dogs do better with nails on their own day, away from the bath and dryer.

What does a tick and flea check actually look at?

We go through the coat in the spots ticks settle: behind the ears, under the collar, between the toes and along the belly. We note live ticks, flea dirt and any hot or scabbed patches. It is a check, not a diagnosis, and if something looks like it needs a vet we say so.

Do deworming reminders come automatically?

We keep the dates from your last visit on file and send a reminder when the next one is due. You still decide what product to use and when. If you would rather track it yourself, tell us and we will leave the reminders off.

Which harness suits a dog that pulls hard?

A front-clip harness gives you more control on a strong puller than a back-clip one. Bring the dog in and we will fit a few on the spot. Fit matters more than brand, and a harness that shifts sideways will rub.

Are chew-resistant toys safe for heavy chewers?

Some are, some are not, and it depends on how your dog chews. A dog that shreds fabric in minutes needs a different material than one that slowly works a rubber bone. We will point out which toys should not be left alone with a strong chewer.

How do I pick a bed size for a puppy that is still growing?

Measure your puppy stretched out, then add roughly a third for growing room. A bed that is too big can feel exposed, so many owners start with a medium and size up once the dog stops growing. Washable covers save a lot of work in the first year.
