Dog Grooming Services
At Pawlished Dog Grooming, we provide a range of professional grooming services from the comfort of our calm, home-based salon in Reading. Every dog is treated as an individual, with personalised care tailored to their coat type, breed, and personality. We believe that grooming should be a positive experience, which is why we work in a quiet, one-to-one environment without the stress of a busy salon. Our services include full grooms, bath and tidy packages, puppy introductions, nail trims, ear cleaning, and more. We use high-quality, pet-safe products and take the time to help your dog feel relaxed and at ease throughout their visit. Whether your dog is nervous, energetic, or a seasoned salon-goer, we adjust our approach to suit their needs. At Pawlished, your pet’s wellbeing always comes first — and we’ll make sure they leave looking and feeling their best.
Bathing and Coat Care
Keeping Coats Clean, Soft, and Tangle-Free
Using safe, hypoallergenic products, we provide thorough baths and coat conditioning to maintain healthy skin and a soft, glossy coat. Each dog is washed with care, using gentle techniques and tailored products suited to their coat type and any sensitivities. Our bathing process helps remove dirt, dander, and loose hair, while reducing odours and supporting good hygiene. Conditioning treatments nourish the fur and make brushing easier, helping to prevent tangles and matting. After the bath, we gently towel dry and use a pet-safe dryer to leave your dog clean, dry, and comfortable. Regular bathing not only improves your dog’s appearance, but also supports their overall wellbeing. Whether your pup is muddy, shedding, or just in need of a refresh, our bathing and coat care service will have them feeling their best.
Haircuts and Styling
Breed-Specific Trims and Personalised Styling
Our haircuts and styling services are tailored to suit your dog’s breed, lifestyle, and personality. Whether your pup needs a classic breed-standard trim or a more practical, low-maintenance cut, we’ll discuss the best options during your appointment. Using professional grooming techniques, we shape and style the coat with care and precision, always prioritising your dog’s comfort. We also offer hygiene trims, paw tidy-ups, and face shaping to keep your dog neat between full grooms. Every dog is groomed on a one-to-one basis in our quiet, home-based salon, ensuring a relaxed and positive experience. We take time to build trust, especially with anxious or first-time clients, so grooming becomes something your dog enjoys. The result is a clean, well-groomed pup who looks great and feels even better.
Nail Care
Gentle Nail Trimming for Happy, Healthy Paws
Regular nail care is essential for your dog’s comfort, mobility, and overall health. Overgrown nails can cause pain, affect walking, and even lead to long-term joint issues if left untreated. At Pawlished, we offer gentle, stress-free nail trimming as part of our grooming packages or as a standalone service. Using professional clippers and techniques, we carefully trim the nails to a safe length, always paying close attention to your dog’s comfort and behaviour. For dogs who are nervous about having their paws handled, we take a slow and reassuring approach to help build trust over time. We can also file the nails on request to smooth any rough edges. Keeping nails well-maintained helps your dog stay active, balanced, and comfortable — and saves your floors and furniture too!
Additional Services
Extra Touches to Complete the Grooming Experience
In addition to our core grooming services, we offer a range of optional extras to keep your dog feeling fresh, healthy, and well cared for. Our ear cleaning service helps prevent wax build-up and irritation, using gentle, dog-safe solutions to maintain ear hygiene. Our anal gland relief service gently expresses your dog’s anal sacs to help relieve discomfort, reduce odor, and support overall hygiene, performed safely by trained grooming professionals. For breeds that shed heavily, our de-shedding treatments remove loose undercoat and reduce hair around your home — perfect during seasonal changes. These extras can be added to any groom and are especially helpful for dogs with specific coat or skin concerns. As always, we tailor each treatment to suit your dog’s needs and sensitivities. It’s the little details that make a big difference — and leave your dog looking, feeling, and smelling amazing.
