THE MANGO PIP WAY
YOU SUPPLY US WITH
Towels
Usually 1 per dog, though if they are very hairy we might ask for 2.
Somewhere to work
Ideally we like to work in a quiet corner, close to a plug point. Somewhere we can make a bit of mess, and not have too much passing traffic. We find that most dogs get into a groove with the process, but having too many people around can excite them and make things tricky (especially young children playing with balls). We aim to maintain a calm atmosphere as this facilitates a smooth grooming process. We groom small dogs on a fold-out grooming table, and large dogs on the floor. If we are setting up the grooming table, it is good to have a bare wall to put the table against.
Somewhere to wash
We tend to wash small dogs in your bath and big dogs on the lawn outside, but we assess each situation individually once we have seen your house and spoken to you about your preferences.
You can request a repeat appointment if you wish, every 4,6,8 or 12 weeks, which we keep track of, sending out reminders when they are due.
