Welcome to K9


Here at K9, we understand the importance of grooming to a professional standard. That’s why when your dog visits us he or she will receive the best possible care and treatment.


Does my dog need grooming?

Although not all breeds of dog need to be clipped or hand-stripped regularly, all dogs need to be groomed in order to keep their coats healthy and glossy. Bathing a dog removes foreign matter from the coat, preventing it from irritating the skin. Brushing promotes the production of the oils which protect the coat and keep the coat healthy, it also removes dead hairs which, if left, can cause irritation and itchiness to the dog. If your dog has a longer coat then dead hair in the coat can easily lead to mats forming, which must be removed, as they can pull on the skin making it very tender and sore. For dogs with curly coats regular brushing is essential as the curl in the coat prevents the hair from falling out naturally. This in turn means that mats will quickly form.

If you find a mat on your dog do NOT try to remove it with scissors as the mat pulls the skin away from the muscle and it is very easy to cut the skin, causing physical pain for the dog and the pain of another vet’s bill for you! Clipping out mats is the only safe way to remove them.

Short Coats:

Although some dogs with short coats may not need to frequently visit a professional groomer, if you find that your dog is moulting then a trip to a professional should help considerably reduce the amount of hair falling all over the house. We regularly groom dogs such as Labradors to remove undercoats and any loose top coat. You might be surprised at how much fur can be removed from a dog with this type of coat.

Longer Coats:

Dogs such as Golden Retrievers and long haired Border Collies are not often clipped right off. However, many clients bring this type of dog to us to have their undercoat raked out and their feathers tidied up. It is startling how much fur can be removed from a coat of this type once it starts moulting. It is vital that dead fur is removed as it can quickly lead to mats forming if left on the coat. This is particularly the case on the tummy, around the ‘trousers’ on the back of the legs, under the ‘arm pits’ of the front legs and around the neck/ chest/ ears, especially where a collar is worn.
