A GROOM WITH A VIEW
Grooming Services
At A Groom With A View, we offer a wide range of professional dog grooming services to suit every breed, coat type, and lifestyle. Every visit begins with a friendly, professional consultation, where we discuss your dog’s breed, coat condition, lifestyle, and your preferences. This allows us to recommend styles and grooming routines that work best for both you and your dog.
We provide breed-standard grooming, perfect for anyone wanting a polished, traditional look. We can adapt these styles to suit your dog’s individual needs and offer advice on maintaining their coat at home between visits. We also offer pet styles, from a neat all-over trim to our popular teddy bear cut.
Dog Grooming
We offer professional dog grooming tailored to every breed and coat type, ensuring your dog looks and feels their best. Every groom starts with a friendly consultation to find the perfect style for your dog.

Experienced Groomers. Personalised Care. Clear Advice.
We provide flexible one to one grooming, coat specific bathing, and professional dematting carried out with skill and care. Your dog’s wellbeing comes first, with transparent guidance and tailored support to keep their coat healthy and manageable.
1-1 Grooming
Although we are a busy salon, we offer a one-to-one grooming service for dogs who may find the salon environment stressful or for owners who prefer a faster, more personalised groom. Appointments must be booked in advance, and we take care to meet any specific needs your dog may have. While holding pens are used, when necessary, we can contact you before your dog is ready so they can go as soon as the groom is completed.
Bathing
All dogs are bathed at our salon with shampoo and conditioner suited to their hair and skin type, they are then thoroughly dried using whichever technique is suited to the dog , our drying cabinets are top of the range dezyna dog dryers, with temperature control and helps the dog relax ready for the final stage in the grooming process. We also offer in-between / monthly baths which are very popular, particularly with Labradors to keep on top of shedding, dogs with longer coats to keep on top of matting, and those that just love to roll will really benefit from this service.
Dematting
We are very experienced in dematting and will always advise about maintaining your pets coat. If the matts are close to the skin and severe we would need to clip the coat short to prevent damage to the skin and stress to the pet. There will be an additional cost for the extra time and work it takes to maintain the welfare of the dog and this may be up to double the cost of the groom. Clipping severe matting away may uncover underlying problems which is entirely at the owners risk.
Hand Stripping
For breeds with a wire or harsh coat, hand stripping is often the best way to maintain correct texture, colour, and coat health.
We hand strip all suitable breeds and coat types, including terriers, schnauzers, spaniels and any dog where maintaining the natural coat is important. Rather than clipping the coat short, hand stripping carefully removes the dead outer coat by hand. This allows the new coat to grow through properly and keeps the texture strong, weather resistant and true to the breed. Many owners choose hand stripping because it keeps colours richer and the coat looking more natural. It can also help reduce coat softening and excessive fluffiness that sometimes happens with repeated clipping.
Every dog is different, so we’ll always assess coat condition, lifestyle and what works best for your dog before recommending a plan. Some dogs benefit from regular rolling programmes to keep the coat tidy all year round, while others may need seasonal strips.
If you’re unsure whether your dog should be hand stripped or clipped, we’re very happy to talk you through the options and explain what would suit them best.
