Your puppy's first grooming experience sets the tone for a lifetime of care. Our Puppy Foundation Session is a calm, one-to-one introduction to the sights, sounds, and sensations of professional grooming — designed entirely around your puppy's comfort and confidence. This is not a full haircut. We only do what your puppy can comfortably manage on the day.
Perfect For: Puppies from around 12 to 14 weeks, especially curly, wavy, long, and doodle-type coats that will need regular lifelong grooming.
Prices start from £40. This session is ideal for any puppy experiencing professional grooming for the first time, and is especially valuable for breeds that need regular, lifelong grooming — including Cockapoos, Labradoodles, Goldendoodles, Poodles, Bichon Frises, Shih Tzus, Yorkshire Terriers, and Cavapoos.
Puppies introduced to grooming in a calm, pressure-free way tend to grow into dogs that are easier, calmer, and happier to groom as adults.
What age should my puppy have their first groom? Many puppies can start from around 12 to 14 weeks. Always follow your own vet's guidance on timing.
Will my puppy get a full haircut? No. This session introduces your puppy to grooming in a calm, positive way.
What if my puppy is nervous? Completely normal. We work at your puppy's pace.
After the session, we recommend the best next step — whether that is a Bath & Style, Full Groom, or another foundation session. View all services or contact us.
