Also offering remote bonding support — calm online help for rabbits and guinea pigs, from home.
Plus care & wellbeing advice — friendly tips on diet, housing and enrichment, during a groom, at the studio or a partner clinic, or online.
-
Full body clips for long-haired rabbits to keep them cool, comfortable and tangle-free. Every groom includes a gentle visual health check.
-
Hygiene trims, safe nail clipping, scent gland cleaning, moulting and coat management, with gentle handling throughout. Grooming can be tailored to your pet’s coat, needs and comfort level.
-
Deluxe grooming including a bath and a hair trim if needed. Nail clipping, ear cleaning, scent gland cleaning and boar cleans, with gentle handling throughout.
-
Every rabbit and guinea pig is treated as an individual. Some are confident and relaxed, while others may be nervous, highly sensitive or simply unsure about being handled.
Grooming is approached calmly and at your pet’s pace, with careful attention to their body language and behaviour throughout the appointment. I use gentle, experienced handling techniques and allow breaks whenever needed.
If a pet becomes too stressed to continue safely, I will stop rather than push them beyond their comfort level. For longer or more involved grooms, the appointment can also be completed in stages where appropriate.
Their wellbeing always comes before completing the groom.

Gentle, experienced care
I’ve groomed professionally since 2010. I never trance bunnies and I stop if your pet becomes stressed. A long coated rabbit groom will not go over 2 hours and can be done in stages if needed - your bunny will always feel safe and understood.
