Dog Grooming

Included In Every Treatment

  • Hand-dried using two types of professional pet dryer (‘high velocity’ and ‘finishing’) to straighten coat for styling, ‘happy hoodies’ cuddle ears to reduce noise and foster a sense of calm, meticulous brushing and coat care finally triple checked with a fine tooth comb from head to tail, to ensure a knot-free finish.

  • All nails are checked meticulously, every time, clipped and then rounded with nail grinder if needed for a smoother, less ‘scratchy’ finish. Please note: some pups are highly sensitive in this area and results may vary proportionate to each pet’s comfort level.

  • Treatments are completed with a mist of Plush Puppy finishing spray and a colourful kerchief, with love from your pup’s groomer.

  • Tailored to your pet's needs with a pre-groom consultation led by our professional stylists.

  • Ensure your pet's well-being with a thorough skin and coat examination.

  • Double shampoo (at minimum) and conditioning treatment by hand, tailored to their coat with soothing massage, using show-standard product range by Plush Puppy. We minimise ear canal water exposure with gently placed cotton balls, use dedicated eye-area shampoo, and apply a tailored ear solution to ear leather for a deeper cleanse. Customised and freshly diluted products just for your pet’s bath and added loofah touch ensures superior results that penetrate right down to the skin for the best bath in the city.

Add-On Basics

  • Bringing your own shampoo and other grooming products for us to use means changing our methods and ultimately takes us longer from bathing, grooming to admin - hence the charge. Note, only applicable per dog, not per product you supply.

  • If your pup comes in severely matted, we may need to do a detailed and delicate full body shave to remove matting that is sitting close to the skin, carefully and slowly, using lots of different tools and techniques. This takes time and is almost like grooming your dog twice, which is why it is extra. The good news is, now you have found Barking Butler, it should be the last time it needs to happen!

  • If we find matting that cannot be removed relatively easily and in the course of our standard grooming practises, we will need to take extra time (and tools) to remove it.  Although finding the odd knot and tangle is covered, de-matting is not included in the price of our regular grooming treatments and we charge accordingly to cover our increased staffing costs due to the extra time the groom will take.

  • Clean, short and poodle-y.  Poodle feet shave, meaning totally shaved feet up to the ‘ankle’.

  • Clean, short and poodle-y.  Poodle face shave, meaning NO hair on the muzzle, from the nose up to the eyes.

  • Item description
  • “Longer here, but shorter here, and make it look more like this from the side so when she eats, it doesn’t do that thing all the time”…. If you know what you need around your dog’s face - this is the add-on for you!  Add-on to a Bath & Blow for a more complete look or extend the facial tidy in our Bath & Tidy treatment to incorporate specific requests you may have regarding your pooch’s face trim.
