Located in the village of Croxley, which is within 20 minutes driving distance of Watford, Village Dog Grooming offers gentle and compassionate grooming and specializes in nervous or elderly dogs that need a little more care. Their focus is on health and wellness, so they require that you fill out a grooming record card before booking an appointment. This is so the groomers can determine what kind of care your dog needs. Once they get into the salon, your dog will be given plenty of reassurance and love as they are bathed, dried, brushed, and trimmed to perfection. If needed, they can also pluck your dog's ears, provide sanitary and facial trims, and grind or trim your dog's claws. The owner, Antoinette, is trained to a level three professional certification in dog grooming and styling, and the business is fully insured for your dog's safety.

Grooming appointments are so much more than a chance to pamper your pet and have them smell and look their best. Pet groomers can be the first to notice potential issues, so when you take your pet to be groomed, it is always a good idea to ask the groomer if they saw or felt anything that might need inspection from a vet. Of course, if a groomer finds a serious issue, they will most likely tell you without being asked, but asking might prompt them to tell you about small things, like flakiness on the skin, or small patches of redness and irritation that could indicate that your pet needs special shampoos or even a quick check-up to ensure there are no skin issues at work. If your groomer does raise an issue that they suggest could be serious, book a virtual vet appointment with Vetster for advice and guidance about how to proceed.
