When you book in with For The Love Of Dog, we will just need somewhere fairly level to park, and somewhere to plug the cable in for the van electrics. The cable is 25m long so there’s usually no problem with it reaching to a plug socket. The van already has hot water on board, so no hose pipe is required.

If it’s your dog’s first session we will just need to get a few details and will then discuss what you would like us to do, style-wise. Some people like a typical breed style, whereas some people have this but with a few modifications. While other people prefer something completely unique! Whatever your preference we will happily transform your pooch as close to your requirements as possible.

“I’d like his hair short….but not too short!”

So how short is short??! It’s a good question and the answer to which differs for each person! If it’s your dog’s first appointment we will generally err on the side of caution when it comes to trimming length and would rather leave it one grade longer than ‘short’ than go shorter than ‘short’. If you find it gets too long before your next appointment, no problem, just let us know to take it shorter next time. we keeps notes on the blades used for each appointment so it is easy to modify the length at the next one.

Once your dog is transformed we will pop them back to you and check that everything is OK before having a quick hoover and tidy up in the van. After that you will have the opportunity to book your next appointment if you wish!
