Microchipping

WHY CHIP? The government is proposing a scheme that all dogs and eventually every cat shall be microchipped or tattooed. Microchipping could help the heartache you may suffer if you lose your dog. These chips are fully compliant with ISO regulations which cover both the U.K. and Europe. WILL IT HURT? Your dog should feel no more discomfort from microchipping than having a conventional injection. HOW DOES IT WORK? The chip uses radio frequency technology and cannot be removed, fade or tampered with. This will give peace of mind for the owner. The chip is deposited in the fatty area between the shoulder blades. These chips have the smallest amount of components than other brands.

A Day at the Dog Grooming Parlour

The Grooming Parlour is not a traumatic event for your pet. He/she is getting plenty of attention and TLC! You could compare your pets experience with a visit to a spa! Grooming your dog takes time………. When ready for their bath, initial clipping is done by removing any excess body hair. A gentle brush followed by a fine tooth comb, the nails are also clipped at this time. The bath consist of a thorough shampooing with mild shampoo and complete rinse. (See our list of luxurious shampoos available). Flea treatment is used as necessary and other preparations are used at owners’ request. After the bath your dog is thoroughly dried and brushed so the hair is tangle free. Keeping your pet well brushed between appointments makes a more enjoyable visit. We now have a state-of-the-art drying cabinet from the U.S where some of the dogs even go to sleep!! Your dog will now have a rest in the cage and a drink of water. Dogs respond better to being groomed when they are not rushed and can relax between steps. Now the time consuming steps are over, we can relax and enjoy the final clipping. Most body work is done with the clippers and all heads and tails are scissored. This takes approximately one hour, depending on the size of your dog, style of clip, and the co-operation of your dog. We also style to show standard at your request.
