FULL GROOM (long hair)

At Country Canines, we are specialists in offering full grooming services for dogs with long or continuously growing hair.

• Two shampoos and rinses and a final “microbubble” rinse.

• Drying

• Pawdicure or nail maintenance

• Sanitary trim

• Styling to breed standard or owner’s choice, using a combination of clipping and hand scissoring

BATH & BLOWDRY

Great for dogs with short coats who only require washing and drying together with some maintenance on the ears and nails; such as French Bulldogs or Smooth-haired Dachshunds. This service is also suitable for curly-coated or long-haired breeds in between full grooms to prevent mats from forming.

​This includes:

• Pre-groom consultation

• Health check

• Clipping nails

• Ears cleaned 

• Anal glands expressed (only on request)

• Full body-massaging shampoo and condition

• Warm blow dry with specialist dryer

• Thorough brush out to remove loose hair and tangles

• Smiles, tickles and cuddles throughout

Anyone with a double-coated dog, whether a long-haired breed, such as a Border Collie or Golden Retriever, or a short-haired breed, such as a Labrador or French Bulldog, will be familiar with the continual task of hoovering up loose dog hairs from furniture and clothes.

​

De-shedding is the equivalent of doing a full groom on a double-coated dog. It is the process of removing dead hairs from the undercoat. Many double-coated dogs begin to shed profusely during the Spring and Summer months, which makes it an ideal time to book them in for a groom. However, since we all live in heated homes, dogs tend to shed continuously throughout the year, and many benefit from more frequent grooms, alternating with a Bath, Brush & Blow Dry, every 2-3 months.

A full de-shedding groom consists of

• Pre-groom consultation

• Health check

• Nail trim

• Trimming hair between paw pads

• Ears cleaned

• Full wash with natural, de-shedding shampoo 

• De-shedding conditioning treatment, such as a conditioning mud-bath

• Anal glands expressed (on request only)

• Deshedding blow dry

• Thorough brush out with professional tools for removing undercoat

• Trim hygiene areas

• Scissor trim of feathers and skirt as required

MATTED HAIR POLICY

Matted Dogs will be charged extra because of the following:

Matted coats can cause a variety of skin & health problems. Matted fur does not allow for air circulation to the skin, causing hot spots, bacterial and fungal infections. Fleas, ticks, maggots and other parasites may be lurking in the coat causing further skin infections. Matted fur also pulls and binds, causing pain to your pet when they move or lay on mats. The skin underneath is usually raw and inflamed. Matted coats will not dry properly and can lead to rotting fur and skin.

Due to matting, your dog’s hair may need to be shaved extremely short to the skin and may show signs of skin irritations and sores due to matting, wet undercoat and dirty coat. In order to take care of a dog that has not been groomed often enough, and is matted, the required grooming sessions may be long, stressful, or painful (please note, more than 1 grooming session may be required if your dog is severely matted).

It is our goal to make your pet’s grooming experience as stress free as possible. Due to the condition of your dog, Dog grooming by Shannon has determined that the only humane thing to do is to shave the dog’s coat down. This is a short clip, removing all the matting. Where feasible, we work to de-mat/brush out the dog’s coat, but only when it would not cause excessive pain and suffering to attempt to do so.

There is a strong chance that your pet’s skin will become irritated during the clipping process. We will use a medicated shampoo to help sooth any irritation that may occur. The matted hair rests tightly against the skin – the only way of removing mats is to use a short blade to clip between the skin and mats. Your dog may be nicked and cut because the groomer has to work so closely to the skin to remove the matted coat. We are very careful, but the possibility of injury exists. 

Understanding these risks, we are authorized to proceed with the dematting process.

I will be happy to show you how to care for you pet’s coat so that matting does not recur. Please schedule a follow-up appointment to speak with our groomers about the best methods for maintaining your dog’s coat.

The pet owner releases Dog grooming by Shannon from any liability associated with the above mentioned process and any and all medical problems that may be uncovered and/or occur during the stripping and de-matting process. Should any dog need veterinarian care after or during the process, the owner agrees to pay any and all veterinarian fees.

Cancellations, Missed Appointments and No Shows

Whilst we understand that sometimes appointments have to be cancelled due to an emergency, we ask that you give us at least 24 hours notice where possible, prior to appointment cancellation, as we have a waiting list of clients that can be filled with another dog in need of a groom. On the occasion that you have missed your appointment we have been also let down by an empty appointment slot and as a small business this has a negative impact on us financially. 

We reserve the right to charge a fee for appointments missed or cancelled with less than 48 hours notice payable prior to any future booking.
