Grooming
All WagWorks Members enjoy high-quality grooming in our cosy, home-from-home studio. With our 1-1 approach, capped membership and relaxed schedule, your four-legged friend will get the time and care they deserve.
Benefits
Home-from-Home Comfort
Tubs with smooth, polished tile finish create a spa-like retreat for your dog. Think textured bottoms that provide grip and comfort, soft fluffy towels and plenty of space for those post bath zoomies.
1-1 Grooming
We aim to build a bond with your dog, as we believe it helps them to relax and trust that they are in safe hands while being groomed; it helps us all to have a more positive experience from start to finish.
No Waitlists
With capped memberships you’ll always be able to book a grooming appointment when you need it.
All in One Day
Daycare booked? Why not add a fresh trim while they’re here? Just schedule via the app, and we’ll handle it all in one visit.
Regular Grooming
Every dog is unique, even dogs of the same breed can have vastly different coats and needs. We recommend a personalised schedule based on your dog’s grooming and health needs, your preferences and your budget.

If I was a dog, I would want to get groomed at WagWorks! My dog has been to a few different groomers and always comes away petrified, but following his experiences at WagWorks his tail is always wagging, he doesn’t want to leave and his groom looks perfect! The environment is so calm and the staff are so friendly! I’d highly recommend.
Wagworks has everything you need from daycare to vet consults to grooming (and you can always get a slot). It’s a one stop shop and our dog loves going there!
Do you offer any specialised grooming?
Yes, absolutely! We offer deshedding shampoo for double coated breeds, flea and tick shampoo, hydrating conditioning sprays and medicated and sensitive shampoos. If Members have any other requirements, we invite them to share their request with the grooming team and we’ll always be happy to help.
How often should I get my dog groomed?
On average every 6-8 weeks for a full grooming session. However, this is very breed specific!
- For a short haired breed e.g. Labrador, Smooth Coated Dachshund, French Bulldog once or twice a year.
- For a wired or silky coat e.g. Cocker Spaniel, Norfolk Terrier, Border Terrier or Golden Retriever, every 3-4 months so their coat is not stripped of the natural oils and to keep them knot free.
- For a double coated breed e.g. Husky, Newfoundland, Shiba Inu, Border Collie, at the change of seasons e.g. start of summer/end of summer.
- For mixed breeds e.g. Cockapoo, Goldendoodle, Cavapoo, Maltipoo, every 6-8 weeks depending on the length of their coat and styling preferences.
We recommend a personalised grooming schedule for each and every dog.
What can I do so my puppy isn’t scared of the groomers?
We find that a calm environment, a confident groomer and a slow and steady process works the best for getting your puppy comfortable with being groomed. We often advise for the grooming process to start at home with yourself, getting your puppy used to being brushed and bathed by you and/or the family.
We also offer a Puppy Series here at WagWorks – designed to help our youngest members feel right at home in the grooming studio! These visits gently introduce your puppy to the sights, sounds, and scents of grooming in a fun, stress-free way. By making it a positive experience from the start, we help build their confidence and ensure grooming stays a happy and comfortable experience for years to come.
Can my dog be groomed whilst they’re at daycare?
Absolutely, many of our members book both daycare and grooming on the same day. Just head to the WagWorks app to make your bookings!
I want to do some grooming at home, can you help me?
Yes, we would love to help. As holistic dog groomers we believe that dogs will bond better with you and be more comfortable with grooming if they are used to their favourite people grooming/handling them. We are always happy to help, give advice or show you any techniques so you are able to maintain your dog’s coat at home either between grooms or to save you some money. Grooming your own dog can give your dog a lot more confidence when they are at the groomers as they are used to this happening in their own home.
