The groom itself is methodical rather than quick. Condition of the skin and coat is checked, mats are worked out before the bath because water sets them hard, and the dog is then shampooed, rinsed clean and dried right down to the roots.

Ninety minutes covers most dogs, though a large one with a neglected coat can need two and a half hours. When diaries are tight, dog grooming in East 6 is nearby.
