Think about your week

A longer, fluffier coat looks lovely but needs more brushing at home. A shorter finish is easier to keep on top of.

Think about the season

Some owners go shorter in summer and leave the coat a little longer when it’s cold. Tell us what you have in mind.

Keep their face clear

Whatever the finish, a tidy around the eyes and a clean face keep them comfortable between grooms.

Bring a photo

A picture of a finish you like, even of another dog, helps us understand exactly what you mean.

Ask us

Not sure? We’ll feel the coat, look at their routine and suggest a finish that suits them.
