What matters when choosing this business
Distinguish ordinary timing from express service
The FAQ's three-to-four-hour allowance depends on coat condition, size and temperament. It advertises express grooming for anxious animals at an additional charge. If waiting time is the deciding factor, ask for a confirmed express slot and price; a normal booking does not establish a short visit. Source
Treat a telephone figure as an estimate
The operator says the most accurate price requires seeing the dog and its coat. Its starting assumptions include regular grooming and good coat condition. Describe any matting or overdue maintenance when calling, and agree on additional work at drop-off rather than comparing an initial phone estimate with another salon's complete quote. Source
Still to confirm
The express surcharge and whether that arrangement suits your dog.
