Full Groom - Short-Haired Breeds

Every groom starts with two gentle washes using natural shampoo and conditioner, specially formulated to soothe the skin, promote shedding, and leave the coat with a healthy shine.
For our wrinkly-faced friends, we apply a natural cleanse made from botanical extracts and oils to remove bacteria from their skin folds, keeping them fresh and irritation-free.

Once clean, your dog is hand blow-dried in our calm, cage-free salon before moving on to the grooming stage.

From there, our groomer uses specialised tools to remove loose hair and debris, addressing shedding and enhancing the coat's natural shine.

We finish with nail trimming, ear cleaning, and hygiene maintenance, and a light spritz of our signature scent to leave your dog feeling fresh, happy, and ready to shine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do short-haired dogs need grooming?

Yes. Short-haired dogs need regular grooming even if their coat looks low maintenance. A professional groom removes dead hair, promotes healthy skin, and gives your groomer the opportunity to check for any skin irritations, lumps, or early signs of issues that can easily go unnoticed at home. Regular grooming also significantly reduces shedding, which for many short-haired breeds is a constant challenge.

My short-haired dog sheds a lot. Can grooming help?

Yes, significantly. Our full groom for short-haired breeds uses a shampoo specially formulated to promote shedding, combined with a high-velocity dryer and a selection of specialist tools designed to remove as much loose hair as possible during the appointment. For heavy shedders, we also recommend adding our Madra Mór Shed Safely Mud Mask, a deep-conditioning treatment that works at the root to reduce shedding between visits.

How often should I groom my short-haired dog?

As a general guide, every ten to twelve weeks works well for most short-haired breeds. That said, heavy shedders like Labradors may benefit from more frequent visits, while lighter shedding breeds can go a little longer between grooms. Your groomer will advise you on the right frequency for your dog specifically.

Why is grooming particularly beneficial for wrinkly-faced breeds like Bulldogs, Pugs, and Shar Peis?

Wrinkly-faced breeds accumulate dirt and bacteria in their skin folds, which can lead to irritation and infection if left uncleaned. As part of every groom, we apply a natural botanical cleanse made from plant extracts and oils to the facial folds, removing bacteria and keeping the skin fresh and healthy. It is safe for all skin types and can be done at every visit.

What a great first time experience at Hackney Barkers! I had been wanting to take Elliot there for months until I was recently able to get an appointment. Staff couldn’t have been nicer and more professional. Elliot came out looking amazing and smelling heavenly. It probably is the best haircut he has ever had (he is now 3). Thank you!
