Luxury Grooming
Grooming is an important part of pet care and contributes to your pet’s overall health and wellbeing.
All Breeds require regular grooming; how much depends on the breed, age and health of your pet.
At Richmond Rascals, we offer a range of grooming services, each one tailored to your dog’s specific needs. Our expert groomers can give your puppy its first bath. Alternatively, they can focus on specific areas such as the eyes, ears or coat. We also offer the ultimate in grooming: the WOW!! Factor, where there are no limits … a makeover for your dog.

Regular grooming has many benefits. In addition to maintaining the general cleanliness of your dog, there is: a lower risk of your pet developing thrush, scratches and other skin problems; reducing infestation from external parasites on the skin; an opportunity to check for cuts, heat, swelling, lameness or changes in temperament … all of which could be indicative of illness.
Nearly every dog (and cat) sheds – regardless of their age or breed. Some breeds have more hair or thicker undercoats and will shed in higher quantities … but virtually all dogs and cats will shed hair. Some dogs such as Poodles shed very little and require grooming by a professional every 6 to 8 weeks.
Animals shed to get rid of old, damaged or extra hair. Animals grow a heavy coat in the winter to help insulate themselves and then shed the extra hair in the summer. However, dogs will also shed broken or damaged hair, and if their skin is irritated from conditions such as allergies, they will also shed excessively. Pets that are groomed on a regular basis from a young age are happier, healthier and more tolerant of the grooming process.
