Dog grooming in Kimberley, Nottingham
From regular coat maintenance to a complete groom, we'll help find the right approach for your dog, their coat and their routine.
Every dog comes to us with their own coat, grooming history and level of familiarity with the process.
We take time to understand what your dog is used to, how their coat is at that visit and what they are comfortable with. That helps us make thoughtful decisions about how their groom should be approached.
Sometimes that means adapting what we do or taking a little more time. Comfort and wellbeing come before pushing to complete every part of a groom.
Your dog's grooming is shaped around their coat, lifestyle and individual needs. Explore our main grooming services below, or tell us about your dog and we'll help arrange the right appointment.
A complete grooming appointment including bathing, drying, nail care, coat preparation and a tailored trim or style.
The groom is shaped around your dog’s coat, comfort and individual needs, with regular appointments helping to keep their coat manageable and the grooming routine familiar.
A grooming appointment for dogs who don’t need a full trim, or for coat maintenance between other grooming appointments.
Bath & Dry includes bathing, drying and brushing, tailored to your dog’s coat and individual needs.
It can be particularly useful as part of a regular coat-maintenance routine.
Additional grooming services
For shedding coats that benefit from additional coat removal.
Bathing, drying and thorough coat work help release loose hair and undercoat, with the approach tailored to your dog’s coat and shedding cycle.
Regular nail care helps keep nails at a comfortable, manageable length.
How much can safely be shortened will depend on the individual dog’s nails. Nail clipping can be arranged on its own or alongside suitable grooming appointments.

This is a non-invasive grooming service and does not replace veterinary dental care. Sessions are tailored around the individual dog’s comfort.

Regular grooming helps us keep an eye on coat condition, reduce the build-up of knots or loose coat and make the grooming process more familiar for your dog.
If your dog finds parts of grooming difficult, tell us. Knowing what they are comfortable with — and what they may need more time for — helps us approach their grooming thoughtfully.
The right routine will depend on their coat, lifestyle, home maintenance and the individual dog. We'll give you realistic guidance on what is manageable for both you and your dog.
"A great experience for Pippy on her first visit to any groomers. Lorraine made Pippy feel calm and although Pippy is a nervous dog she handled her beautifully. Why go anywhere else. Booked in for her second groom in a few months time. Thanks again oh I forgot to say Pippy looks fabulous 😊 Keep up the good work 👍🏻"
