Gentle Handling
There are no muzzles and no forced restraint. Nervous dogs get extra breaks and a slower pace rather than a shortcut.
Calm, considerate grooming for dogs who'd rather not be rushed.
Poochie Parlour was set up by a City & Guilds-qualified groomer after years working in busy, high-turnover salons where dogs were booked back-to-back with barely a break between them. We wanted something calmer, with one dog on the table at a time and the time it genuinely needs.
That means no double-booking, no rushed blow-dries, and no dog waiting in a crate for hours before or after their slot. If your dog gets anxious about grooming, we build in the extra time and patience that takes.
There are no muzzles and no forced restraint. Nervous dogs get extra breaks and a slower pace rather than a shortcut.
One dog on the table at a time. Your dog's slot is theirs alone, and it is never squeezed to fit another dog in.
Proper training in breed standard cuts, rather than clippers on a number two for everything.
Public liability insurance and a clean, sanitised salon between every single appointment.
A single grooming station rather than a row of tables, which is quieter, calmer and built around one dog's comfort rather than salon throughput. Non-slip surfaces, low-noise dryers, and a raised bath sized for dogs of every build.
