Dental & Nail Care
Trimming your dog's nails is an important grooming task that helps her stay happy and healthy. When you don't clip your dog's nails, they can end up growing too long, which can cause problems. The benefits of routine dental hygiene include reduced bad breath, better overall health, decreased pain, increased longevity, and reduced pet healthcare bills down the road.

Testimonials

"Like many Dog owners my dog means more to me then anything in the world but the care and attention he received (not to mention the exercise) was outstanding. It was the first time in 5 years he's stayed away from home and I couldn't be happier. I cannot recommend Dom and his team highly enough and wouldn't hesitate to leave my Alfie in their care again."James - Alfie's owner

"Dom and his team have been walking Barley, my golden Labrador for the past year and I extremely pleased with the service that he provides. Dom really cares for Barley and will often send me a picture of her having fun on one of her lovely walks. Barley is always shattered when she comes home which is a great sign that she has had a really good run around. Dom will always help out last minute which is a real bonus and this definitely adds to the quality of his service. I would highly recommend Dom and his team to any dog owner - he is great!!"C Haughey - Barley's owner

"My labradoodle Ted has been going to day-care with the Dogfather since he was 1 ½ yrs. old. I am able to go to work knowing that Ted is well cared for, and having fun with other dogs, while exploring the delights of Richmond Park & Wimbledon Common, to name but a few. I have no hesitation leaving Ted for a overnight stay, as I know he receives the same love and attention if he were at home. I recently had to work away for an extended period of time, and this was made easier knowing that Ted was in one place, with familiar faces, who care for him as if he were their own. Thank you from Michelle & Ted."Michelle - Ted's owner
