Frequently Asked Questions

Have a question about grooming your dog at Pampered Paws?

Most dogs benefit from a groom every 4 to 8 weeks depending on the breed, coat type, and lifestyle. A bath and tidy is available between grooming appointments if required, helping to keep your dog comfortable, clean, and looking their best.

My full grooming service typically includes bathing, drying, brushing, haircutting, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and finishing touches.

Appointment times vary depending on your dog’s size, breed, coat condition and the services required. Every dog receives as much time as they need, with calm, patient grooming tailored to their individual needs and comfort.

Yes, I recommend booking in advance to ensure availability, especially during busy periods. My one‑to‑one grooming approach means appointment slots are limited, so early booking helps secure a time that suits you and ensures your dog’s grooming routine stays on track.

Please contact me as soon as possible if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment, and kindly give as much notice as you can. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice will incur a charge.

For most dogs, grooming is more comfortable and less distracting when owners are not present during the session. A quiet, consistent environment helps dogs settle more easily and allows me to focus fully on their safety, comfort and individual needs.
I use high‑quality grooming products that are gentle, safe, and suitable for your dog’s coat and skin. Every product is chosen with your dog’s comfort and wellbeing in mind, ensuring a clean, healthy finish without irritation. If your dog has any known allergies or sensitivities, please let me know so I can tailor their grooming products accordingly.
