Bath & tidy near Willow Ridge.
A fresh wash, a thorough brush-out and a neat tidy of face, feet and hygiene areas between full grooms.
For pets from Willow Ridge.
A wash and de-shed in shedding season.
A bath & tidy keeps a coat clean, comfortable and easy to manage between full grooms. It’s a warm bath, a careful dry and a thorough brush-out, with a neat tidy of the face, feet and hygiene areas.
There’s no full reshaping, so the visit is simpler. For smooth and double coats it’s often all they need: a good wash and a proper de-shed.
Many owners alternate a full groom with a bath & tidy. Tell us how their coat behaves between visits and we’ll suggest a rhythm.

A bath & tidy, or a full groom?
If you’re happy with their current shape and simply want them fresh, a bath & tidy is right. If the coat has grown out of shape, or you’d like a new finish, book a full groom.
Not sure? Call us or pop in, and we’ll feel the coat and tell you which one makes sense.
