Dog wash, dry and brush for Highgate
From the top of Highgate High Street, North Road runs into North Hill, which brings you to our salon at 28 Aylmer Parade, N2. It is 1.1 miles, about five minutes by car or a 22-minute walk.
Not every visit needs a full groom. If your dog just needs a proper bath, a dry and a brush, our Wash and Go starts from £45. Dogs are groomed Tuesday to Sunday, as the salon is dog-free on Mondays.
Getting your dog here from N6
Most owners bring their dog in themselves. If that does not suit, we collect from Highgate for an extra £5 to £10 and bring your dog home afterwards. Book online first, then call our collections line on 07572 957013 to agree times.
After a muddy walk, let the coat dry and brush out loose dirt before you come in if you can. It saves time on the day.
Getting here from Highgate

How we handle nervous dogs
We take a patient approach with dogs that are unsure about grooming. That means allowing them time to settle, using calm handling throughout the wash and brush, and taking short breaks when they become uncomfortable or overwhelmed.
The drying stage can be unfamiliar for some dogs, so we introduce the process carefully and adjust our approach according to their temperament and coat.
If we notice a sore area, skin irritation, parasites or anything else that may need veterinary attention, we will stop where appropriate and recommend speaking with your vet before continuing.
