Four Paws Staff & Management
1. Dog Grooming
Includes cut, wash, dry, dematt, comb, hand stripping, ears, eye's & nails.
2. Hand Stripping Specialists
Plucking out the old, dead outer coat, so new wire hair comes through.
3. Nail Clipping
Nail trimming is important for the long-term health of all dogs, not just canine athletes. Overgrown nails can break easily and below the quick, which can be very painful for the dog. Long-term overgrowth can cause difficulty with walking, pain and soreness and eventually contribute to the development of arthritis.
4. Anal Glands
When anal glands are full, this can cause irratation causing your dog to drag it's bottom on flooring and can also cause your dog to bite around the tail area. Emptying the anal gland can give great relief to your dog.
5. Clipping and Styling
This is to keep your dog matt free and keep it in a good condition. Matted hair attracts fleas, paracites etc which can be detrimental to a dogs health and well-being. Regular grooming greatly eliminates this risk.
6. Bathing and Styling
Regular bathing helps to keep your dog smelling fresh, thus eliminating nasty doggy odours in your home. It also keeps their coats in a good healthy condition. We recommend a bath & tidy every 6 weeks, which is also known as inbetween full grooms.
7. Bathing and Conditioning
This includes a normal bath plus a full health check i.e. teeth, gums, skin, nails etc as these can often mask a more serious condition in your dog. You will be advised if we feel your dog needs a checkup with you regular vet.
8. All Breeds
As it says, we do all breeds of dogs, small to large, larger dogs may not fit in our hydrobath and will probably need to be collected and delivered. Please contact before hand if you have a large dog i.e. burmese mountain dog, saint bernard etc.
9. Wash 'n Go
This is when you only require a wash with no drying etc. We will blast dry your dog, so that the dog is not left wet.
10. Bath and Tidy
This is for the in between grooming, your dog will be bathed, dried and the coat tidied. You cannot use this if your dog has not been groomed for more than three months, because after a period of three months, a dogs coat normally becomes matted and knotted and thus normally requiring a full groom. Including in this, we not only bath and tidy but your dog will have its ears done and a health check is done as well.
