Caring, One-to-One Dog Grooming Tailored to Every Pup

What to expect at Sitting Pretty
Bath Time – Hydrobath Cleanse
Every dog is bathed twice in our state-of-the-art hydrobath using gentle, organic shampoos tailored to their coat.
Drying – Gentle and Thorough
We use a high-velocity drier and a soft snood to protect ears, followed by hand fluff drying to prepare the coat for grooming.
Styling – Tailored to Your Dog
Depending on breed and coat, we may clip, scissor, or hand strip to achieve the perfect finish.

- Sanitary and underfoot trimming
- Basic health check (eyes, ears, coat, and skin)
- Cuddles!
Natural, Kind & Safe Grooming Products -

Smooth Haired Grooms
Your dog’s spa experience begins with a gentle cleanse using our premium, all-natural de-shedding shampoo, expertly massaged through the coat in our state-of-the-art hydrobath. This is followed by a warm, soothing blow-dry to release excess undercoat, and a meticulous brush-out to leave the fur soft, smooth, and refreshed.
For the ultimate indulgence and enhanced results, we recommend adding our signature Mud Bath Treatment — a mineral-rich, skin-soothing therapy that deeply conditions the coat and supports natural shedding.
Long Haired - Bath & Tidy Trim or Full Clips and Scissoring
Each grooming session begins with a warm hydrobath using a carefully selected, all-natural shampoo tailored to your dog’s unique skin and coat needs. After a gentle cleanse, your dog is pampered with a warm blow-dry, followed by either a de-shedding treatment or a thorough brush-through to leave the coat silky and smooth.
The grooming continues with a hygienic pad and sanitary trim, and depending on your dog’s needs, a precise foot, feather, face, and ear tidy — or a full body clip and expert scissoring for a beautifully finished look.
Wire Haired - Handstrip
Following a traditional hand strip — carefully performed to maintain the coat’s natural texture, function, and appearance — your dog is bathed in a soothing, all-natural shampoo formulated specifically for sensitive skin. This gentle cleanse calms the skin after hand stripping while nourishing the coat, leaving your dog refreshed and beautifully finished.

Nail & Paw Care
Why is regular nail trimming so important?
Each of your dog’s paws contains an intricate network of
25 bones,
supported by nail beds that act as natural shock absorbers. When nails grow too long, they reduce this cushioning effect — placing undue stress on the bones and joints. Over time, this can contribute to arthritis, discomfort, and even muscle wastage in the feet and legs.
To maintain healthy foot structure and prevent long-term issues, we recommend professional nail care every 3 weeks.

A simple, stress-free nail clip for dogs who are comfortable with handling. Ideal for quick maintenance between grooms.
Deluxe Nail & Paw Treatment
A luxurious paw care experience that includes:
- Expert nail clipping
- Electronic nail filing for a smooth, rounded finish (minimises scratches and allows for a closer trim)
- Application of our natural, moisturising paw balm to soothe and condition dry or cracked pads
Filing helps to remove sharp edges, reduce slipping, and prevent accidental scratches when your dog greets you with enthusiasm
