Welcome to The Coat Club

The Coat Club is a calm, one-to-one dog grooming studio in Walkinstown. I groom each dog individually, giving them my full attention and working at a pace that helps them feel safe, relaxed, and understood.

My focus is on gentle handling, thoughtful styling, and creating a positive experience for every dog.

How appointments work

I only groom one dog (or one households dogs) per appointment — no overlaps. This is so I can give one dog my whole attention for their whole groom, and help make their appointment as calm as possible.

• Grooming times vary depending on coat type, size, and comfort levels.

• Appointments typically take 1.5–3 hours.

• I’ll text you when your dog is ready for collection

If your dog is new, a puppy, or a little unsure, that’s completely okay — I work gently and at their pace.

Pricing

Pricing varies depending on:

• Coat condition

• Coat type and styling

• Grooming schedule

• Size and temperament

If you’d like an estimate, just send a brief message and a recent photo of your dog — I’ll take care of the rest.

Before your appointment

A few things that help your dog have a calm, enjoyable groom:

• A short walk and toilet break beforehand, especially after a car . Please make sure to pick up after your dog if necessary.

• If you feed your dog before their appointment, please ensure to leave some time between eating and grooming, as a full stomach can make handling uncomfortable for them.

• Arrive at your scheduled time (not early or late).

• A calm, simple goodbye works best at drop-off. Long, emotional handovers can make dogs feel unsure — but once you’ve headed out, they usually settle beautifully

• Let me know if there’s anything your dog finds tricky, or has any behavioural or medical issues — I’ll make adjustments for them as best I can.

• Sometimes my own dog may be in the studio with me - if you think you’re dog would be more comfortable with no other dogs there, please let me know beforehand.

These small preparations will ensure a more comfortable and positive experience for your dog.
