Puppy Package

Why do we offer Puppy Packages?

Grooming can be stressful for dogs if they’re not introduced to it in a positive way. It is an environment full of unfamiliar sounds, new sensations and strange smells. The dryer and the clippers are a new sound and a new sensation on your dog’s skin and coat. The scissors make a funny sound as well, and some dogs even find the sensation of water on their back unfamiliar.

What happens during the puppy sessions?

We teach your dog to be groomed using positive and reward based training techniques, so they learn to enjoy their grooming sessions. This is especially important for those pups who will need regular grooming for the rest of their lives, but it is highly beneficial for all breeds. Just imagine your Labrador or Golden Retriever getting into paint, engine oil or something really smelly out on a walk.

Our Puppy Packages consist of 3 grooming sessions, booked no more than 4 weeks apart. During the first session your puppy will spend some time in the grooming room, exploring the room while another dog is being groomed, to get them used to the smells, sights and sounds. They will get a bath and a blow dry, have their nails clipped, their ears cleaned and if possible, the hair in front of their eyes shortened. It is a nice relaxed session, with plenty of breaks for cuddles and treats. During the second and third sessions, we build on that first positive experience, and adapt the groom to your puppy and your puppy’s future grooming requirements. These sessions can include anything from bath, dry and de-shed, foot and leg trim, full clip and style. It really depends on your pup’s needs and your wishes.

How much does it cost?

Our Puppy Packages typically start at €110 for the 3 sessions, for a small dog who will need to be clipped. (eg Bichon, Shih Tzu, Yorkie etc.) Prices will vary for medium to large breeds, or dogs who won’t need to be clipped but will benefit from regular de-shedding treatments, (eg Husky, Golden Retriever, Labrador, German Shepherd, Jack Russell, Pug etc.), so please send us a message about those pups.

Puppies need to be under 8 months when they start their Puppy Package.

Do your pup a massive favour and book them in for a puppy grooming package with us. So whether you have a pup who will need clipping and styling, or one who will need a good de-shedding so your floors aren’t covered in doggie tumbleweed, treat them to a puppy package and start them on a lifelong road of positive grooming experiences.

Our Puppy Packages will be adapted to your individual pup.
