Dog grooming near Peterborough

Happy dogs, lovely coats and no rush.

Hi, I'm Hattie. Pebblewash is my little grooming studio just outside Peterborough. I only see one dog at a time, so yours gets my full attention, a proper groom and as many breaks as they need.

Services & prices

What I offer

Every dog is different, so these prices are a guide. I'll confirm yours before you book, once I know a bit about your dog and their coat.

  • Bath & tidy

    from £30

    Small dogs

    A warm bath, a gentle blow dry and a good brush out. Ears cleaned, nails trimmed and a tidy round the eyes, feet and bottom.

  • Full groom

    from £45

    Priced by size and coat

    Everything in the bath and tidy, plus a full clip or a hand-scissored trim. Bring a photo if there's a look you love.

  • Puppy intro visit

    £20

    Once they have had their jabs

    A short first visit to meet the bath, the table and the dryer. Lots of treats and no pressure, so grooming feels normal from the start.

  • Nail trim

    £8

    No bath needed

    Just the nails, done quickly and carefully. Handy between full grooms.

Larger dogs and very thick or matted coats may cost a little more. I will always tell you first.

Your dog's visit

What to expect

From your first message to the moment your dog trots back out of the door.

  1. Get in touch

    Send me a message or give me a ring. Tell me a bit about your dog and I'll find a time that suits you.

  2. Say hello

    Your dog has a good sniff around while we chat about their coat, any sore spots and the look you're after.

  3. Groom time

    I work at your dog's pace. If they need a break or a cuddle, they get one. Nervous dogs can come for shorter sessions.

  4. Home time

    I'll text you when they're ready, tell you how they got on and suggest when to come back.

About me

Just me, a big bath and a lot of towels

I started Pebblewash because I wanted dogs to enjoy being groomed, not just put up with it. I only book a few dogs a day, with time in between, so nobody is left waiting in a crate.

The studio is one bright room with a walk-in bath, a grooming table and a non-slip floor. I keep the dryer on a low setting for dogs who aren't keen on the noise.

  • Only ever one dog in the studio
  • A text as soon as your dog is ready
  • Gentle shampoo, unscented unless you'd like otherwise
  • A straight answer if a shorter clip would be kinder to the coat

Questions

Things people usually ask

Can't see yours? Just ask, or call 01632 960418.

How long does a groom take?

A bath and tidy is usually about an hour and a half. A full groom takes two to three hours, depending on size and coat. I'll give you a collection time when you drop off.

My dog gets nervous. Can you still help?

Yes, and you're not alone. Let me know when you get in touch and we can start with a shorter visit, take more breaks or split a groom over two days.

Does my dog need to be up to date with jabs?

Yes, please. Puppies are welcome for an intro visit once your vet says they've finished their first jabs.

What happens if my dog's coat is matted?

Brushing out heavy matting can hurt, so I won't force it. I'll talk it through with you first and usually suggest a shorter clip so the coat can grow back healthy.

Can I stay while my dog is groomed?

Most dogs settle better once their owner has gone, funnily enough. For puppy visits you're welcome to stay for the first few minutes.

Where is the studio?

Just outside Peterborough, with easy parking right by the door. I'll send directions when your appointment is booked.
