The In-House Groomer for Anxious, Reactive & Senior Pets

✂️ Dog Grooming – Calm & Compassionate

From wool coats (Poodles, Doodles, Bichons) to drop coats (Yorkies, Shih Tzus, Maltese) and double-coated breeds (German Shepherds, Huskies, Collies), every session is tailored to your dog’s needs.

Whether it’s a full groom, de-shedding, clipping, or scissoring, I focus on comfort before cosmetics. For anxious or reactive dogs, sessions may be shorter, broken into stages, or adjusted to build trust over time. My priority is always creating a positive experience that helps your dog feel safe and cared for.

🐕‍🦺 Specialist Grooming for Anxious & Reactive Dogs

Not every dog finds grooming easy. That’s why I take a slow and steady approach, working at your dog’s pace with plenty of breaks and gentle handling. If your dog is nervous about certain parts of grooming (like drying or nail clipping), we can adapt and build tolerance over multiple sessions.

I never force a groom for the sake of appearances — instead, I focus on progress over perfection, ensuring your dog learns to trust the process. For particularly anxious dogs, I can collaborate with your vet to support with medication when appropriate.

🧸 Coat-Specific Grooming Plans

Each coat type comes with unique challenges:

• Wool Coats (Poodles, Cockapoos, Doodles, Bichons) – Require regular brushing, fluff drying, and styling. For anxious dogs, I often recommend shorter, more frequent sessions.

• Drop Coats (Yorkies, Shih Tzus, Lhasas, Maltese) – Prone to tangling; I provide gentle brushing, tidy trims, and face/feet scissoring.

• Double Coats (Shepherds, Huskies, Samoyeds, Collies) – Heavy shedders; I offer deep de-shedding, line brushing, and feather tidying.

• Short Coats (Labs, Staffies, Beagles, Frenchies) – Low maintenance but shed heavily; I focus on de-shedding baths, coat checks, and skin care.

Each service is adapted to your dog’s tolerance, coat condition, and long-term wellbeing.

Personalised Pricing

Because I specialise in anxious, reactive, and senior pets, no two grooms are the same. Pricing is based on:

• Size and coat type

• Grooming history and tolerance

• The time and support required

• Specific grooming goals

I’ll always provide a transparent, tailored quote before the appointment — with no hidden fees and no unnecessary services.

With Tamed Tails, your pet receives more than grooming — they receive patient, loving care designed around who they are.

🐾 Cat Grooming – Calm, Gentle & Respectful

Cats have very different needs from dogs, and most find grooming stressful. That’s why I use low-stress handling, waterless options, and shorter sessions tailored to each cat’s temperament.

Services may include:

• Brush-outs and de-matting (if tolerated)

• Sanitary trims

• Nail clipping

• Pelt removal (with vet support if sedation is required)

• Lion cuts or full clips (only when necessary)

Most cat grooms are dry grooms, reducing stress and keeping the experience as gentle as possible. I also provide behaviour support for fractious cats, working with patience and, if needed, alongside your vet.
