Bath & tidy.
A wash, a good brush and a tidy of face, feet and bottom to keep them fresh between grooms.
About this groom.
A bath & tidy is the in-between visit. They get a warm bath, a blow-dry and a good brush-out, plus a tidy of the bits that grow fastest: the face, the feet and the bottom.
There’s no full haircut, so it’s simpler and usually quicker. For short coats and big double-coated dogs, it’s often all they need: a proper wash and a de-shed.
Plenty of owners swap between a full groom and a bath & tidy. Tell us how their coat behaves and we’ll suggest a rhythm.

Top tipShedding season? A bath & tidy with a thorough de-shed lifts out loads of loose coat, so there’s less fluff around the house.

Bath & tidy, or full groom?
Happy with their length and just want them fresh? Go for a bath & tidy. If the coat’s grown out of shape, or you fancy a new look, book a full groom.
