Pet Grooming

At Scotson Fold our Canine Beautician offers a professional service to cater for the individual needs of every pet. Our groomer has grooming experience of many breeds and this experience is very apparent in her work. We offer various methods of grooming.

Bath & Groom

"Bath & Groom" is available whereby a pet can come in for a 'shampoo and set' and depart smelling wonderful with a knot-free coat.

The All In

The "All-In" is basically the 'full works'. This includes a bath & groom as described above with the addition of any clipping / trimming / shaving. Also involved is the clipping of nails if needed, ears are checked to see if they need plucking and cleaning.

Pet Pedicure

Alternatively your pet can come in solely for a pedicure.

De-Matting

At Scotson Fold, in the interests of the dogs welfare, our canine beautician will not de-matt fur. This is a painful process for the dog and is unfair on both the dog and the groomer. We want your dog to enjoy the grooming process and be happy to come for appointments, not resent the groomer for inflicting discomfort. A kinder alternative would be to clip off matted fur. This will allow air to reach the skin and help the skin to recover. Fur can grow back and our groomer can offer advice on how to maintain the coat.

Pricing

Prices vary depending on the breed, coat type and thickness, the condition of the coat and the behaviour of the dog. Prices reflect the time taken to do the pet and so an assessment by our groomer is often necessary to enable us to give an accurate estimate. Specific instructions can be discussed with the groomer.

Sometimes, particularly during winter weather, dogs with longer coats can become very knotty and matted if not kept on top of. Depending upon the extent of the matting and an assessment by a groomer, we may be able to remove smaller knots but we will not de-matt badly knotted/matted fur. De-matting can be very uncomfortable, painful and unfair on your dog.

We have a wide variety of professional canine shampoo's and conditioners including hypo-allergenic shampoo in case your pet has sensitive skin and the appropriate one is carefully selected depending on the coat.

As our grooming service is becoming more and more popular, please make sure you contact us in plenty of time to book an appointment. In the event of an appointment having to be cancelled, you are required to give at least 24 hours notice to give us the chance of refilling that allocated time slot to another pet.
