Newquay's Professional Dog Groomers

BOOK YOUR GROOMING

Full Service Dog Groom

A thorough bath using our high-quality natural shampoo, followed by full drying and a brush-out. We then style your dog based on their coat type and condition, with their comfort and welfare as our priority. This includes ear cleaning and nail trimming.

Ultrasonic Teeth Cleaning

Standalone ultrasonic teeth cleaning (recommended as a separate appointment from a full groom). This gentle treatment removes plaque and stains, helps prevent gum disease, and improves breath. Multiple sessions may be required - we’ll advise the best plan after checking your dog’s teeth.

Dog Nail Trimming

We offer a walk-in nail trimming service for dogs that just need their nails done. This quick service is available without an appointment - just give us a call first to check we are not too busy and to confirm we are open. Your dog will be handled with care to keep them as comfortable as possible.

Dog Bathing and Blow Dry

Perfect for dogs that need a little extra care between full grooms. We offer standalone bathing and blow-dry sessions using our high-quality natural shampoo, followed by a full brush-out, including high-friction and hard-to-reach areas that are often difficult to manage at home. Ideal for refreshing your dog, removing loose hair, and helping to maintain coats that are prone to knotting, as well as giving double-coated breeds a thorough blow-out. Tailored to your dog’s coat and condition, with their comfort and wellbeing in mind.

My working spaniel has just had his first groom with Tara. He won't let me near him with clippers or scissors so I was nervous he wouldn't be compliant. Apparently he was a very good boy!! He looks and smells like a new dog. Silky soft, knot free & very handsome. Well done Tara.

I’ve been having my dog Maddy cut at Tara Scissor Hounds and every time she comes back looking beautiful and smelling so lovely! The ladies are both so welcoming and always have a smile on their face. I find the location great as there’s on site parking straight outside which is a rarity for Newquay. Couldn’t recommend enough :)

Cecily and tara turned my little yorkie into a pampered pink princess (using pet safe dye) of course. She's a nervous old gal but they were great with her. Can't recommend Tara scissor hands enough.
