Your dog's first visit

First grooms can feel like a big deal, for you and your dog. Here is exactly what happens.

  1. Tell us about your dog

    Book online or send us a message with the breed, age and anything we should know, like nerves, sore joints or skin trouble.

  2. A quick chat at drop off

    We look at the coat together, agree the style and length you want, and give you a price before we start.

  3. Calm, one to one grooming

    Your dog is the only dog on the table. We take breaks whenever they need one and never rush.

  4. A photo, then home time

    We text you a picture when they are finished, so they never sit around waiting in a cage.

  • Calm, gentle handling

    We go at your dog's pace, with breaks, cuddles and treats whenever they need them.

  • A photo when they are done

    We text you a picture as soon as your dog is finished, so you know when to collect.

Our story

A small, calm salon where dogs come first

Biscuit & Brush opened on Esmonde Street in 2018 with one table, one dryer and a simple rule: treat every dog like our own. We still groom one dog at a time, so there are no barking queues and nobody waiting in a cage.

Most of our regulars are local family dogs: doodles, spaniels, shih tzus, terriers and the odd very patient Newfoundland. Whatever the coat, we will talk you through the options and give you an honest price before we start.

  • Our cockapoo Bonnie used to shake at the groomers. Ciara took it so slowly with her and now she trots in the door wagging. Couldn't recommend them more.

  • Brought in our rescue lurcher Ted, who hadn't been groomed in years. They were so patient, sent us a photo when he was done and he came home looking like a new dog.

  • Megan did our puppy's first visit and kept it short and fun. Milo came out smelling gorgeous and is already booked in again.

  • Our Westie is fourteen with bad hips. They let her lie down for most of it and never once rushed her. Lovely people.

Questions owners ask

Anything else? Call 083 003 2914.

How often should my dog be groomed?

Most long or curly coated dogs, like doodles, shih tzus and bichons, need a full groom every six to eight weeks, with brushing at home in between. Short coated dogs usually only need a bath and tidy every eight to twelve weeks. We will suggest a routine that suits your dog's coat.

My dog's coat is matted. Can you help?

Yes, but your dog's comfort comes first. Light tangles can be brushed out for a small extra charge. If the coat is badly matted, the kindest thing is to clip it short and let it grow back, because brushing out heavy mats hurts. We will always talk it through with you before we start.

My dog is nervous. Will they be OK?

Nervous dogs are very welcome. We groom one dog at a time in a quiet room, with no cages and lots of breaks. For very anxious dogs we can book a short visit just to say hello first, or the first slot of the day when it is calmest.

Does my dog need to be vaccinated?

Yes. All dogs need to be up to date with their vaccinations, and puppies should have finished their full course before their first visit. Please also tell us about any health issues, lumps, sore spots or recent surgery.

How long does a groom take?

Usually between one and three hours, depending on your dog's size, coat and how relaxed they are. We give you a rough time at drop off and text you as soon as they are ready to collect.

How do I pay?

Card, contactless or cash, when you collect. If you need to cancel or move an appointment, please give us 24 hours notice so we can offer the slot to another dog.
