Services
Full Grooming
Our full grooming service includes bathing, shampooing, drying, clipping, ear cleaning, nail trimming, and coat conditioning. We tailor each step to your dog's breed and coat type, ensuring a fresh, hygienic finish that enhances comfort and appearance.
Dematting
We address matting humanely by shaving out severe mats to prevent pain. Our approach prioritises your dog's well-being, following the Animal Welfare Act (2006) guidelines to ensure safe, stress-free coat maintenance.
Teeth Cleaning
Using the Emmi-Pet ultrasonic system, we clean teeth without vibration, removing plaque and tartar. This non-invasive method improves dental health, prevents bad breath, and supports your dog's overall well-being through regular maintenance sessions.
Nail Trimming
Professional nail trimming prevents overgrowth-related discomfort. We use precision tools to safely shorten nails, reducing risks of splitting or joint strain while ensuring your dog's paws remain healthy and comfortable.
Coat Conditioning
Our coat conditioning service revitalises fur with nourishing products, reducing shedding and preventing tangles. This treatment enhances coat texture, leaving your dog's fur soft, shiny, and easier to maintain between grooming sessions.

Great service at a very reasonable price. Our old dog was looking very tatty after lock down and being ill. She came back looking wonderful her nails clipped and very happy.

Having booked my dog in at Spot On dog grooming I turned up at the agreed appointment time to discover there was nobody in. After ringing the bell for 10 mins I rang their mobile to be told I was late and to re-book Then I was told they were not in despite there being 2 cars in the drive What a joke.

Great service and lovely staff. I found these guys after leaving another pet groomers that were not very professional or nice and must say every time visited not only a good cut but such friendly staff its usually done by 2 ladies and the place is clean and nothing to much trouble there is no pestering or demanding you bring back the dog when they want its a relaxed friendly place where you look forward bringing your dog and very reasonably priced as well.

Took our Dog Molly today for a "Summer Cut" Molly is a Bearded Collie x Greyhound and looks like a Hairy cuddle freak! We went to the Kingsnorth Parlour and were pleasantly surprised by the way Molly had been trimmed and as Molly is an extremely nervous dog Gemma broke the ice and Molly loved her! I would personally recommend this Grooming Parlour!!
