Questions About Our Services
If your question isn’t answered here, please contact us.
My dog has had problems with other groomers before, will you be able to help?
Possibly! We would advise giving us a call to talk through your past experiences and see if our holistic approach to grooming may be more suitable to your dog’s needs.
Can I stay with my dog whilst they are being groomed?
Yes, some owners choose to stay with their dogs during their grooms. This is particularly beneficial for dogs that suffer from separation anxiety, we want them to feel relaxed and sometimes that means having their person stay with them. It also supports older dogs who may become disorientated away from home, and puppies who are building their confidence in the big wide world.
Do I need to be a member to visit Heart Dog Salon?
No, you don’t need to be a member to book your dog in for a groom with us.
How much does it cost to have my dog groomed?
Your dog is a unique individual, and so are their grooming requirements. During your Welcome Consultation we will talk you through what we recommend, and the price options available, specific to your dog’s coat, temperament, and lifestyle.
Do you take on clients from areas other than Whitby?
Yes we do. We are based in Whitby, but we are proud to serve clients across North Yorkshire, including Scarborough, Guisborough, Pickering, Saltburn, Redcar, Malton, York and Middlesborough.
What can I expect during the Welcome Consultation?
- Let’s talk – Ask all your questions specific to caring for your puppy / dog at home between grooms.
