Puppies
At Doggies Salon, we understand that your puppies initial grooming experience can be a bit daunting and that the first encounters are crucial in shaping their future behaviour in a grooming environment. That's why we've crafted a tailored 3 stage package and a simple introduction experience to ensure all puppies receive the suitable experience and gentle care and attention they need to feel safe and thrive.
Gently introducing them to the grooming world – one happy visit at a time

Puppies Introduction
​
This single groom service is designed for puppies under 6 months old to ensure a positive association to our grooming salon. To achieve this, we provide before and after playtime as well as a slow introduction to all of our grooming equipment and their sounds, vibrations and sensations. We reward their good behaviour and give them the extra love and care they need to reinforce a positive experience. ​​​​
