Fluffy Groom or Full Groom? Let’s clear up the confusion! 🐶✂️The difference is the coat length, finish and maintenance.
🤍 FULL GROOM
A shorter, more practical haircut for easier everyday maintenance.
With suitable coat care, this shorter style can last around 8-10 weeks or longer for some dogs.
☁️ FLUFFY GROOM
The body coat is kept around 13mm long for a fuller, fluffier look.
This style needs more upkeep, with grooming usually needed every 4-6 weeks.
⏰ These are general guides. Your pup may need an earlier visit depending on their coat, lifestyle and brushing routine. Don’t wait if knots start forming!
With a Fluffy Groom, YOU can choose your leg style:
🐾 EVEN-LENGTH LEGS — the legs are trimmed to match the body.
🐾 FLARE LEGS — the legs are left longer and shaped into a fuller, flared look.
Longer legs aren’t automatic! Please tell us at drop-off whether you want matching-length legs or flare legs, so we can confirm your preferred finish before we begin. 💬
🪮 A fluffy style needs regular brushing AND combing between appointments, including the legs. A fluffy surface can still hide knots underneath!
If the coat is severely matted, we may need to clip the affected areas short, including the legs. Your preferred length or flare shape may no longer be possible.
Even if you request dematting, we may decline when working through the knots would cause pain, distress or prolonged discomfort.
We love a fluffy finish — but your pup’s comfort will always come first. 🤍
