Your pet,
my passion..
City & Guilds qualified , 121 dog groomer specializing in dog dental & de shedding. equipped for large & giant breeds. Proud to support animal rescues.
My Commitment to Your Pets
At Dillybobs, i believe in "feeling good" over looking good.
De shedding a dogs coat properly and regularly, maximizes skin health, minimizes health issues & allows your dog to efficiently regulate their own body temp which is vital to their wellbeing. Its so much more than brushing!
Dental health & gum disease is the most overlooked, underestimated and more importantly avoidable health issue facing many dogs from as early as 2 years old - bad breath, tartar build up, & inflamed gums are all common traits that if ignored can escalate quickly
Reg maintenance is key to avoiding expensive, stressful vet visits!
Meet & Treat
A free 20 min appointment that allows your dog to familiarize themselves with the environment often creating a positive association for when they return for their appointment.
1. Builds Trust & Reduces Stress
- Dogs meet me in a calm, non-threatening way before any grooming tools are introduced.
- Treats & toys create a positive association with me and the grooming environment.
- Reduces fear and anxiety, especially in rescue dogs, puppies, or dogs with past negative experiences.
2. Helps Me Understand your Dog
- I can observe the dog’s body language, temperament, and comfort level with touch.
- Identifies areas of sensitivity (ears, paws, tail, belly) before grooming starts.
- Allows me to tailor handling techniques suited to each individual dog.
3. Safety for Dog and Me!
- Prevents sudden reactions like snapping, wriggling, or fear-based aggression.
- Gives the dog time to get comfortable with the sights, smells, and sounds of the salon.
- Safer for both parties, reducing risk of injury.
4. Smooths the Grooming Process
- A dog that feels safe is easier to handle, which makes the session faster and more effective.
- Prevents grooming from becoming a traumatic event, improving long-term cooperation.
- Increases the chance of the dog enjoying future grooming visits.
Deshedding
Regular de sheds are vital to both short, long, and double coated breeds. Dogs have the most amazing inbuilt temp control system that regulates their body temperature however it can only work efficiently with proper & regular de sheds
Benefits of Deshedding Dogs
- Reduces loose hair. Keeps shedding under control and minimizes fur on furniture, clothes, and floors.
- Healthier skin & coat Removes dead undercoat, allowing new healthy fur to grow.
- Prevents matting & tangles Especially important for double-coated or long-haired breeds.
- Improves comfort Less trapped hair means better air circulation, keeping dogs cooler in warm weather.
- Allergy control, less dander and hair in the home can reduce allergy symptoms for sensitive family members.
- Early detection. Groomers may notice skin issues, lumps, or parasites during deshedding
Ultrasonic teeth cleaning
Ultrasonic teeth cleaning for dogs is a gentle, non-invasive way to improve oral hygiene without the need for anesthesia (in most cases). It uses ultrasonic vibrations (rather than mechanical scaling) to break down plaque and tartar. Here are the main benefits:
🦷 Health Benefits
- Removes plaque and tartar – Helps prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and infections.
- Reduces bad breath – Cleans bacteria that cause halitosis.
- Supports gum health – Gentle vibrations clean even below the gumline, reducing the risk of gingivitis.
- Prevents systemic illness – Poor dental health can lead to heart, kidney, or liver issues; regular cleaning lowers this risk.
🐶 Safety & Comfort
- Anesthesia-free – Unlike traditional dental scaling at the vet, ultrasonic cleaning is often done without sedation (good for older dogs or those with health risks).
- Pain-free – The vibrations are not uncomfortable for dogs, and the cleaning is quiet and gentle.
- Stress reduction – Less invasive and quicker, making it easier on anxious dogs.
⚡ Practical Benefits
- More affordable – Generally less expensive than full veterinary dental procedures requiring anesthesia.
- Maintenance option – Can be done more frequently to maintain oral health between professional veterinary dental cleanings.
- Early problem detection – Regular sessions allow issues like loose teeth or gum recession to be spotted sooner.
⚠️ Things to Keep in Mind
- It’s not a substitute for professional veterinary dentistry under anesthesia if advanced periodontal disease is present.
- Works best as a preventative or maintenance measure rather than treatment for severe dental problems.
- Should be performed by a trained professional to ensure it’s safe and effective.
Not forgetting........
Puppy Intro!
As much as we all love a puppy - the responsibility of steady & safe introduction to each element of being groomed is big one!
1. Builds Positive Associations
- Puppies are in their key socialization period (around 3–16 weeks).
- Gentle, positive exposure to grooming during this time helps them see it as normal, not scary.
- Reduces the risk of fear, anxiety, or aggression toward grooming later in life.
2. Reduces Stress for Life
- Puppies who learn slowly and steadily are calmer during grooming as adults.
- Prevents traumatic “first experiences” that can cause long-term fear.
- A calm dog means safer and easier sessions for both dog and groomer.
3. Encourages Cooperation
- Regular, short sessions teach puppies to accept touch on sensitive areas (paws, ears, tail, muzzle).
- Builds tolerance for grooming tools like brushes, combs, clippers, and dryers.
- Makes future professional grooming smoother, faster, and more pleasant.
4. Supports Health & Hygiene
- Early brushing prevents tangles and mats, which can be painful.
- Puppies get used to nail trimming, ear cleaning, and bathing — essential for lifelong health.
