Size guide

Where does your doggo sit?

The Dapper Dog is a small salon built for little dogs only. If your pup is over about 15kg, the team cannot accommodate them — but the Ducky's DIY dog wash next door can, and the salon is happy to recommend a local salon for large dogs.

XS

Extra Small

Up to 5kg. The tiniest salon guests.

S

Small

5–10kg. The classic The Dapper Dog regular.

M

Medium

10–15(ish)kg. As big as the salon goes.

The The Dapper Dog way

Calm is part of the groom.

  • Gentle, force-free handling — your pup's comfort always comes first
  • Cage-free: purpose-built pens with comfy beds out the back, so anxious pups can be separated and relaxed
  • Small knots are gently brushed out where possible; heavier matting is clipped, never forced
  • Sensitive-skin and medicated (Malaseb) wash options available
  • Puppies welcome from 10 days after their third and final vaccine

Concept preview · Groom estimator + pup profile

Build the groom. See the price.

Pick a size, a service and any add-ons — the estimate updates live using The Dapper Dog' published prices. Then add your pup's profile and a preferred time to send a booking request. This concept preview does not send anything; the finished site would deliver the request straight to the salon.

1 · Pup size
2 · Service
3 · Coat condition

Small knots are brushed out gently where possible. Heavier matting is clipped rather than brushed, and any extra charge is discussed with you at drop-off — so it is not in this estimate.

4 · Add-ons (published prices)

5 · Pup profile + booking request

Tell the salon who is coming. Your pup's profile travels with the request, so the team knows their size, coat and temperament before they arrive.

Please add your pup's name, your name and your phone so the salon can confirm the booking.

Request ready — thank you!

Concept preview only — nothing was sent. On the live site, this request and pup profile go straight to The Dapper Dog, who confirm by text and email with a link to change or cancel.
