Premium Grooming, Tailored to Your Dog

At Dofos, every groom is a one-to-one experience. Your dog receives the full, undivided attention of an experienced groomer in a calm, stress-free environment — no cages, no rushing, no distractions.

We use only natural, vegan-friendly products that are gentle on skin and coat. Whether your dog needs a simple bath and tidy or a full breed-standard trim, we tailor every session to their individual needs.

All breeds and temperaments are welcome — from bouncy puppies to nervous seniors. Our team has decades of combined experience across our Edinburgh salons.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our dog grooming services.

A full groom typically takes between 1.5 to 3 hours depending on breed, coat condition, and the service booked. Bath-only services are usually completed within an hour.
All dogs must be up to date with their core vaccinations including distemper, parvovirus, and kennel cough. Please bring your vaccination card to your first appointment.
Most dogs benefit from professional grooming every 6–8 weeks. Breeds with longer or thicker coats may need more frequent visits. Our groomers can recommend a schedule tailored to your dog.
Absolutely. Our one-to-one grooming approach is specifically designed to reduce anxiety. We work at your dog's pace and use calming techniques to ensure a positive experience.
If matting is severe, we may need to clip the coat short for your dog's comfort and safety. We'll always discuss this with you before proceeding and advise on preventing future matting.
Yes. Our experienced groomers are skilled in breed-standard cuts and can also create custom styles to your preference. Just let us know what you'd like at your appointment.

Testimonials

Without Abby, I am not sure we would ever have got Leo used to being groomed. As a nervous rescue Abby took her time as much with us as Leo. We have gone from not even getting into the building to being able to leave him, knowing he's fine. For the first time today, three years on, Leo came home with his head dried, and area he lets no one near. The trust he has with Abby now never fails to amaze us and for that we are so grateful. Abby is kind and gentle and full of knowledge.

Callie has been groomed by Abby for 3 years. Callie’s very shy and yet she does off with Abby with a waggy tail. I’ve had dogs for years and haven’t found anyone as friendly and competent as Abby . Thank you

I’ve been bringing my dog to Dofos to be groomed for a couple of years now. Abby is just fantastic with her. She gets individual attention and spoiled while she is there - full luxury spa treatment! I couldn’t be happier with the service.
