Dog grooming in Kimberley, Nottingham

Thoughtful grooming, tailored to your dog.

A calm, appointment-only salon where grooming is shaped around your dog's individual needs, comfort and wellbeing.

Every dog is different.
Their grooming should be too.

Individual dogs. Thoughtful grooming.

Some dogs take grooming in their stride. Others need more time, familiarity or a slightly different approach.

At Hound, we take time to get to know the dog in front of us — their coat, their grooming history and how they respond to different parts of the process.

With comfort and wellbeing guiding the decisions we make, grooming can be adapted where needed. Over time, regular appointments help build familiarity and a grooming routine that works for both of you.

Grooming shaped around your dog

From regular coat maintenance to specialist hand stripping, your dog's grooming is tailored to their coat, lifestyle and individual needs.

Not sure which service they need? That's absolutely fine. Tell us a little about your dog and we'll help guide you towards the right appointment.

Looking for nail clipping, de-shedding or Emmi-pet teeth cleaning?
You'll find these alongside our other grooming services.

Getting started with Hound is simple

  1. Tell us about your dog

    Start by telling us a little about your dog, their coat, grooming history and what you’re looking for.

  2. We'll review what they need

    We'll review what you've told us and get in touch to discuss the most suitable service and appointment for your dog.

  3. Settle into a grooming routine

    Once we get to know your dog and their coat, regular appointments can help build familiarity while keeping their coat comfortable and manageable.

"The lady was very kind and gentle with our nervous dog and treated her very well. The trim was just as we'd hoped, and her coat has never looked so silky and glossy. Will definitely return."

— Catherine Johnson

"Amazing experience for my Spaniels first groom. You were very patient and understanding with him and kept me updated the whole time you had him. He looks amazing and smells even better. Thank you so much!! X"

The people behind Hound

Choosing a groomer means choosing someone you trust to care for your dog when you're not there.

At Hound, our City & Guilds-trained team takes the time to get to know the dogs who visit us — not just their coats, but what helps them feel comfortable and how they respond to grooming.

We believe trust is built through gentle handling, good communication and familiarity over time. It's why we value long-term relationships with both dogs and their guardians, and why the individual dog guides the way we work.
