The Appointment Begins

Arrival

Step 01

The Consultation

Every appointment begins with a conversation — coat history, lifestyle, the last time a comb ran through without snagging. We part the fur in three places and read what we find.

The Tools

"She arrived in a state. Left like she owned the place."

The Work Itself

Step 02 — The Bath

Oatmeal & Chamomile. Nothing harsh.

We use a colloidal oatmeal pre-soak to loosen mat bonds before a single comb touches the coat. Chamomile rinse follows — calming for the dog, brightening for the tan.

The Send-Off

The Reunion

Step 04 — The Finish

The coat swings like a curtain. You'll notice it when they walk.

A light mist of Yorkshire lavender finishing spray, a satin bow — your colour or ours — and they're back in your arms smelling like the moors.
