Grooming services for dogs are provided for small to medium breeds of any age, utilizing high-quality professional products. For more nervous dogs or pups, I use slower speed and less powerful equipment to ensure their comfort and to help build their confidence during grooming. For anxious dog owners, I send video clips and photos throughout the grooming process to assure them that their dog is happy, safe, and willing to be groomed—no dog is ever forced to undergo grooming, teeth cleaning, or any treatment.
Before each grooming session, an initial sniff and explore around the garden is offered. Sniffing helps reduce stress in dogs by releasing endorphins, which have mood-boosting effects that can calm them. Breaks are provided during the grooming if needed. Older dogs will benefit from a padded table cover, support aids for enhanced comfort, and gentle soothing music. I ensure that grooms are never rushed or booked back-to-back, allowing every dog a stress-free and pleasant grooming experience.
Additionally, I offer licensed dog boarding and doggie day care for small to medium breeds in a relaxing, safe atmosphere. I limit the number of dogs boarding at one time to no more than four, which accommodates older or less able dogs, or those who prefer a slower pace of life. You can rest assured that your dog's needs will be met, whether they want to relax in a calm indoor or outdoor space, enjoy enrichment games, or receive lots of cuddles and TLC. Dogs are walked daily in groups through beautiful Welsh woodlands, countryside, and beaches.
Before any booking is confirmed, I provide a meet and greet and a trial session to ensure all dogs are happy and comfortable.
(Unfortunately, I cannot accept unneutered male dogs for boarding, daycare, or walking services).
There is easy parking available at Mucky Paws premises.
