Why choose Oak & Hound?

Individual grooming
Individual grooming
We only ever groom one dog at time so we can get to know your pet and make them as comfortable as possible in our relaxed ‘home away from home’. With two dogs of our own, we understand the importance of creating an stress-free environment. We can adjust the session to meet your pet’s requirements, making it a one on one grooming experience that works best for them.
Intimate & Relaxed

In our home-based setting, we aim to remove the stress and anxiety often associated with traditional noisy and busy grooming salons. Our dedicated studio provides an entirely separate space for your pet, away from other dogs and distractions. Please contact us for a free 10 minute ‘meet and greet’ if you would like your dog to familiarise themself with us and our space before their first groom.

Oak & Hound Pup Ambassadors
The Boss
The Goofball
The Goofball
This is Leela, our first pup ambassador. A proud, two year old Cavapoo, she is certainly the boss around here and keeps our whole family in line, especially her little sister Pippin whenever she goes rogue. Leela is currently working towards her Kennel Club silver award, and ultimately aspires to be a therapy dog to help those feeling stressed or anxious. Her favourite treatment is a full groom comprising a relaxing bath, followed by a teddy cut. The fluffier the legs, the better! She likes to keep her ears long in homage to her King Charles Cavalier mother.
The Goofball
The Goofball
The Goofball
This is Pippin, aka ‘The Goofball’ and our second pup ambassador. She is is in training to become an autism assistance dog. The training is going well (in between eating everything in sight and saying hello to every dog she can find!). She is only one year old and still getting used to the grooming process, so the ‘Puppy Groom’ option has been perfect for introducing her to the space and grooming equipment. Being a golden retriever, Pippin‘s double coat doesn’t need as much work as her sister Leela when it comes to cutting. But regular brushing is crucial, and a good wash and brush out is what she really loves, so the ‘Bath & Dry’ option is ideal. Otherwise she just has the occasional light trim of any straggler hair.
