Getting here from Skellingthorpe

Straight in along Skellingthorpe Road and down towards Boultham, then onto Rookery Lane. We are at 5 Rookery Lane, LN6 7PX, with free parking directly outside.

We also see plenty of dogs from Doddington, Eagle, Saxilby and Whisby, all of which are an easy run in.

Woodland walks and what they do to a coat

Dogs walked regularly around Skellingthorpe Old Wood, Whisby and the Doddington estate come back with things in their coat. Brambles, seeds, mud and — in a wet Lincolnshire autumn — a great deal of water held in a dense undercoat.

Wet coat that is not dried properly to the skin mats within days, which is why a dog who seemed fine on Sunday can be felted by Wednesday. Drying to the skin is most of what a professional groom actually does, and it is the part nobody manages properly with a towel at home.

We check ears and between the toes every visit. Grass seeds in either are a common summer problem around here and they do not resolve on their own.

What to expect from us

One dog at a time in an air-conditioned salon, with a photo and a report after every appointment. No production line and no rushing.

We groom every breed and coat type, and we will be honest with you about what your dog's coat actually needs rather than what is easiest to sell.

Common questions

How far is the salon from Skellingthorpe?

A short drive in along Skellingthorpe Road towards Boultham, then onto Rookery Lane. We are at 5 Rookery Lane, Lincoln LN6 7PX, with free on-site parking.

My dog gets soaked on every walk. Does that cause matting?

It is one of the main causes. A dense coat that is wet and not dried to the skin will mat within days, and towel-drying does not get anywhere near deep enough. Blast-drying to the skin at each groom is a large part of why a professional groom lasts as long as it does.

Do you check for grass seeds?

Yes, ears and between the toes every visit. Around the woods and fields near Skellingthorpe they are a common summer problem, and a seed that works its way in needs a vet rather than a groomer.
