Scruffy to Fluffy is a dog grooming salon on Vauxhall Road in Narrow Neck, Devonport, and it takes puppies from about four months old, so that they learn to be groomed early. The full groom covers a bath, blow-dry, nails, feet, face, ears, sanitary tidy and brushing out, with a complete style and trim all over. It is built for double-coated breeds such as golden retrievers, collies and pomeranians. The salon bath is a shorter option with a blow-dry, nail trim and ear clean, and it is popular with dogs that are very smelly or heavily moulting. The mini groom leaves the body coat untrimmed. The spa day adds a double shampoo, a conditioning treatment, a blow-wave, a body clip, a face tidy, and a tail and paw trim. Teeth brushing is also offered as part of the routine.
Owners who have written about the salon say their dogs come home fresh, and they praise the calm way the groomers handle the animals. The nearest other dog groomer is Short Bark and Sides, about 100 metres away on Open Locally's map. For owners in Devonport, the salon's puppy programme is a practical way to build a grooming routine before a dog's coat becomes a real job.
