Why owners switch to us

Grooming without the stress

Grooming takes time. Most dogs have a lot more hair than us! So we never rush it, and your dog never waits in a crate while others are groomed.

A busy salon

  • Several dogs at once, lots of noise
  • Dogs waiting in crates or cages
  • Cabinet dryers to speed things up
  • Groom done to the clock

Torbay Dog Groomers

  • Only your dog in the salon (dogs from the same family welcome)
  • No restraints, cages, crates or cabinet dryers, ever
  • Breaks when your dog needs them, plus a secure outdoor area
  • Done at your dog’s own pace; allow 2–3 hours depending on breed
Services

Every coat, every breed

Hand stripping

Traditional hand stripping keeps the texture and colour of wire coats, instead of quicker methods that dull them. Ask if it suits your breed.
