Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I groom my dog in Newcastle?
Long or curly coats: every 6–8 weeks. Short coats: fewer visits, but regular brushing and nail care are still needed.
Do Newcastle groomers accept large or double-coated breeds?
Yes — salons like Forpaws and Alfie & Bear accommodate large breeds and more complex coats. Always ask about de-shedding tools and drying facilities.
Can I stay with my dog during grooming?
Some salons allow it, especially for nervous dogs; others prefer dog and owner to part during the process. Ask when booking.
Are nail trims and extras included?
Often, yes. But spa extras (teeth cleaning, stylised cuts) may cost more. Confirm before booking.
