Three-visit puppy package from £95
Includes a gentle EmiPet ultrasonic teeth cleaning introduction, at no extra cost.
Your puppy explores the grooming space, hears dryers and clippers on a low setting, and gets used to gentle handling. If your puppy stays relaxed, this visit may include a short nail trim and a small tidy around the eyes and hygiene area.
Your puppy has a gentle bath with puppy shampoo, soft drying and another light tidy where needed. This session also introduces the EmiPet ultrasonic handpiece around the muzzle, lips and teeth, so mouth handling starts to feel safe and normal.
Your puppy has their first full groom, including bath, drying and a trim suited to their breed, coat and lifestyle. The EmiPet routine continues if your puppy is comfortable. By this stage, most puppies feel more settled and ready for regular grooming appointments. A special certificate to celebrate your puppy's first grooming milestone.
