Dog grooming
How often should my dog be groomed?
Most dogs benefit from grooming every 6 to 8 weeks, depending on their coat type and lifestyle.
How long does an appointment take?
A full groom usually takes around 1½ to 2 hours, depending on your dog’s size, coat and behaviour.
My dog is nervous. Can you help?
Yes. Sarah has experience working with nervous and anxious dogs using a calm, patient approach, and welcomes dogs of all temperaments.
When should I start grooming my puppy?
As early as possible. Puppies benefit from getting used to grooming from a young age.
How can I look after my dog’s coat at home?
Use both a brush and a comb regularly, get your dog used to having their feet and face handled, and keep a consistent routine.
What should I avoid?
Waiting too long between grooms, brushing without also using a comb, and leaving bookings until the last minute.
Do you groom all sizes of dog?
SJ’s does not groom giant breeds. If you’re unsure whether your dog is suitable, just ask.
Emmi Pet teeth cleaning
Does Emmi Pet remove tartar?
Emmi Pet is designed to help reduce plaque and support oral hygiene. Results vary depending on the amount of existing build-up and your dog’s individual dental condition.
Does it hurt?
Emmi Pet is non-invasive and does not involve scraping, vibration or anaesthetic. Sarah introduces it gently and adapts the session to your dog’s comfort.
How many sessions will my dog need?
This depends on your dog’s current dental health. Some dogs benefit from an initial course of teeth-cleaning sessions followed by maintenance appointments.
Is it a replacement for veterinary dental treatment?
No. Emmi Pet supports oral hygiene but does not replace professional veterinary dental care where medical treatment is required.
Can nervous dogs have Emmi Pet treatments?
Yes. Many nervous dogs tolerate the teeth cleaning well because it is quiet, gentle and introduced gradually.
Tell Sarah a little about your dog.
Every appointment starts with a conversation about your dog’s coat, temperament and needs.
