We have a large variety of drying equipment designed to accomodate a variety of coat types. Some of our larger dryers are specifically designed to help remove dead undercoat from breeds such as Samoyed’s and German Shepherd’s. We have fluff dryers for creating the perfect blow dry on Poodles and Bichon’s and extra small/quiet dryers for our puppies or more nervous dogs.

Styling

When it comes to dog grooming no two owners or two groomers have exactly the same taste so our grooming is totally dependent on the owners requests.We will always try to accomodate any reasonable request. We will not de-matt dogs in the interests of their welfare however, we will work closely with owners needing extra help with maintaining their dogs coat.

All the groomers at Dogtails are City and Guilds qualified and have been trained in both pet trim and breed standard styles. 

It is our aim to keep both the dogs and the owners happy.
