tired and happy

Grooming

Three ways to
come out looking great

Every groom is one dog, one table, one groomer, start to finish. Nobody waits in a crate under a dryer and nobody goes home damp. If your dog finds it hard, we stop and try again another day.

The Full Groom

Bath, blow out, clip, nails and ears. Two hours, one dog at a time, no cages and no waiting around wet.

  • Warm oatmeal bath
  • Hand dried, never crated
  • Breed correct clip
  • Nails, ears and paw pads
$75from

Bath and Brush

For the coats that only need a reset. In and out in ninety minutes and smelling like a clean towel.

  • Deshedding treatment
  • Conditioning rinse
  • Full hand dry and brush
  • A biscuit on the way out
$48from

Puppy First Visit

A gentle introduction to clippers, water and the sound of a dryer. Half an hour, no pressure, lots of cheese.

  • Meet the room and the tools
  • Paws and face only
  • As long as they are happy
  • A written report at pickup
$30flat

Boarding suites

Twelve rooms,
not a single cage

Each suite is a proper room with a door, a window and a bed off the floor. Bring their blanket, bring their food, bring the toy that squeaks. It all comes back with them.

The Den

$48 a night

Our standard suite. A raised orthopaedic bed, underfloor heating and a window onto the play yard so nothing feels like a kennel.

The Garden Room

$64 a night

Ground floor with a private door onto a fenced patch of grass, for the dogs who like their own front door.

The Loft

$82 a night

The big one, sized for two dogs from the same house, with a sofa they are entirely allowed on.

Long Stay

Ten percent off

Seven nights or more in any suite, with a groom on the last morning so they go home looking like they missed you.

A day in the life

What actually happens
while you are at work

No dog is left in a room all day and no dog is out in the yard all day either. The schedule below is the real one, printed on the wall by the door, and you are welcome to arrive unannounced and check.

7:00

Up and out

Doors open, breakfast served in the suite, and a first walk around the field while it is still cool.

9:00

Yard time

Small groups matched on size and temperament. Water buckets everywhere, shade at both ends.

11:30

Quiet hour

Back to the suites for a nap. Every dog gets a proper rest, whether they think they want one or not.

13:00

Enrichment

Scent games, puzzle feeders, and a paddling pool when the day is warm enough to earn it.

15:30

Second yard

The long one. This is the session that means they sleep on the drive home at the end of the week.

18:00

Dinner and wind down

Fed to your instructions, then a photo and a note sent to your phone before lights out.

Dogs running together on the grass in a sunny fenced play yard

Everybody goes out. Everybody comes back in.

Groups are matched on size and how they play, never on how many we can fit through the gate. Two long sessions a day, shade at both ends, and water buckets everywhere you look.

Booking

Tell us about the dog,
we will do the rest

Every new dog comes for a free half day first, so they meet the yard and the team before they ever stay a night. If it is not a fit, we will tell you honestly and point you somewhere that is.

  • A free half day before any overnight stay
  • Photos and a note sent every evening
  • A vet nurse on the team, every shift
  • Ten percent off stays of a week or more
