Quiet, one-to-one sessions for anxious, rescue and older dogs.
A busy salon full of barking dogs and loud dryers can be overwhelming. At Zen there is only ever one dog in the salon, so a nervous dog gets a quiet room and one calm person.
We use patient, stress-aware handling and adjust the session around your dog, taking breaks whenever they need one.
Anxious and noise-sensitive dogs, rescue dogs, dogs who have had a bad grooming experience, and older dogs who need a gentler pace.
