Pooch Duchy uses a gentle but effective shampoo for sensitive skin. However, we recommend this option if your dog is used to its particular brand of shampoo and has developed reactions to other brands of shampoo, or if you prefer a particular scent.

Pooch Duchy will restrict any fur groomed off your dog to the area around the grooming table, ensuring that we keep a clean and tidy work space. Cleaning will be done around the grooming area at the end of the session.
