All dogs visiting Sparsholt’s Grooming Salon are groomed by our students who are studying towards a City and Guilds Level 2 or Level 3 qualification in Dog Grooming. All students are supervised and monitored by our experienced and qualified Instructors and strive to deliver high-quality grooms with the dog’s temperament, coat, and breed in mind.
Our Level 2 students focus on the coat preparation and maintenance, along with basic clipping of wool coated breeds and de-shedding of double coated breeds.
Our Level 3 students are Level 2 qualified and therefore focus on refining their skills and the breed standard styles of all breeds.You may wish to bear this in mind when booking your dog’s appointment with us.
All grooms include a health check, bath, blow dry and nail clip, unless otherwise requested.
Appointments are bookable Monday to Friday with two slots available;
Morning session – 9am until approximately 12:30pm
Afternoon session – 1:30pm until approximately 4:30pm
Being a student environment, there may be fluctuations in availability, particularly in college holidays and during exam periods, however we strive to maintain a consistent service that suits your dogs grooming needs. With this in mind, appointments are available during college holidays however on a much lesser scale, so it’s advised that these are booked well in advance.
We are competitively priced with our full grooms starting from £25 and hand stripping sessions starting from £35.
