Calm, stress-free maintenance for dogs who need kept comfortable, clean and healthy — without the grooming-salon drama.
Focused on large breeds, double-coats and dogs who don’t suit big commercial groomers.
Some dogs hate busy grooming salons.
Some are too large, too anxious, too strong or simply too fed up with the noise and chaos.
Valley Dog offers calm, one-to-one care at a realistic pace.
No weird perfumes, no bows, no conveyor-belt grooming. Just sensible, welfare-focused maintenance — the way you’d do it yourself if you had the time, space and confidence.
I keep your dog clean, comfortable and stress-free… and you avoid the wrestling match in the bath.
What’s Included
Your dog gets only the essentials — done properly, calmly and without rushing:
Warm wash, gentle shampoo suitable for sensitive skin, full towel-dry and blow-dry as tolerated.
Ideal for double-coats and large breeds. Removes loose undercoat and keeps skin healthy.
Short, safe and steady. No forcing. If your dog needs time to build confidence around their paws, we work at their pace.
Eye area, paws, feathers, sanitary trim if needed. Strictly practical — nothing cosmetic or over-styled.
Gentle wipe/clean if required. No poking, no aggressive ear work.
Types of Care I Offer
A straightforward session covering the basics: wash, dry, brush and nails. Perfect for keeping on top of shedding and general comfort.
Especially useful for shepherds, collies and other double-coated dogs. Slows down home shedding and keeps skin healthy.
Gentle handling, slow pace, lots of reassurance. Builds confidence early so care is easier for life.
Many dogs struggle with traditional groomers.
Here they get space, quiet, and time to settle. No rushing, no restraints unless absolutely required for safety.
Big dogs often get “rushed through” in busy salons. Here they get the space and strength-aware handling they need.
How Care Sessions Work
Quick chat beforehand
We decide what your dog actually needs — nothing more, nothing less.
Arrival & settle
Every dog gets time to relax and get used to the space before we begin.
Care at their pace
I don’t force. If something needs more time or a slower approach, we adjust.
Welfare first
If your dog is stressed, sore, elderly or anxious, the session adapts to what’s safe and comfortable for them.
Practical aftercare
Clear advice, no sales pitch. Just simple tips for keeping them comfortable at home.
