Panache 4 Paws!

As pet lovers ourselves, we understand your love for your four-legged friend. We want your dog to feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible, so we work around any dislikes and fears to ensure an enjoyable experience. Each dog is treated like part of our family, and is treated totally individually.

Grooming your dog, not only keeps them healthy and presentable but  also allows them to feel free from tangles and liberated within their coat which will move freely when they walk run and play. The subsequent visit frequency depends on how regularly your pet requires grooming, which varies according to breed. Please feel free to discuss this further when you visit.

At Panache 4 Paws, we always check your pet’s temperament and ask for their medical history before we start grooming. Also, we make sure to discuss with you how you would like to have your pet styled. We will make the necessary adjustments until you are fully satisfied with the result. When groomed regularly, your dog will experience the following benefits:

• Skin Integrity and Coat feeling Soft and in Good Condition
  
• Less Shedding For both Short and Long-Haired Pets
  
• Allowing the Dog to Feel and Look Fantastic
  
• Manageable, Matt-Free and a Beautifully Cut and Styled Coat.
  

Pets that are not well-groomed are more prone to ticks or infestations of fleas that cause allergies and skin problems. You do not want these transmittable diseases to affect your human family members, so it is always best to maintain your pet’s hygiene.

Using a range of natural products, we gently remove dead hair and skin cells to improve, cleanse and moisturise the coat. This process also helps relieve sore joints and loosen tense muscles.

To make it less stressful for you and your pet, we suggest any really bad de-matting treatment be completed in two sessions. Before we start the grooming process, upon assessment, we will explain the process and make sure that you know how we address the problem and ways to prevent this from happening again. We will not hurry the process, but use our acquired skill and experience to resolve the problem.  When considerable matting has formed, we will discuss the best way forward for your pet’s welfare.

We carefully hand-dry all pets using a variety of drying methods. The drying method to be used depends on your pet’s coat and comfort and will be fully assessed upon the first consultation.

Nail trimming is one way to keep your pet healthy in the long run. When overgrown nails break, it can lead to soreness, pain, difficulty in walking and arthritis, among others.

By bringing your dog to us, you will be introducing  him/her to a new experience. Because of this, we slowly introduce new things to him/her and allow time for them to adjust and accept the situation. The whole new setting  can be a little daunting the first time. By allowing the dog to enjoy these new sensations before moving on, it enables us to give a truly unique and specialised service. Upon subsequent visits, your dog will then be happy to return for a better chance of having a positive association to any future grooming experience.

Sometimes a bit of support can help enormously to connect again with our dogs should they be misbehaving. Within a safe environment, we can offer possible solutions and tips to enable you to have a really wonderful relationship with your dog. See the Services page for more information.
