DANDINI'S DOG & CAT GROOMING
Professional, reliable, City and Guilds qualified, multi award winning, recommended by vets, holistic, cage free with over 50 years in business...
For more than 60 years, Dandini's Dog Grooming has been caring for dogs and cats in the Portsmouth area. While our roots run deep, our grooming techniques are right up to date! That’s why dog owners from across Hampshire choose Dandini’s — they want their pets to be well-groomed and well cared for, by experienced professionals in calm, welcoming surroundings.
While many of us Google “dog groomer near me” when searching for someone to help with a matted coat or a hairball-prone cat, what most of us really want is for our pets to be happy — as well as perfectly groomed. That’s why the salon has been designed as a free-roaming environment, giving dogs a more relaxed experience from start to finish.
Within the salon, we also offer more specialist grooming services including hand-stripping, creative styling, and cat grooming — all delivered with the quality, skill, and gentle handling that Dandini’s has built its reputation on.
Why Choose Us?
🐾 Why is Dandini's Dog Grooming Special?
Dandini’s, we don’t just bring years of experience — we believe in a truly holistic approach to grooming. Our focus is always on the overall wellbeing of your pet, and we go above and beyond to make sure every dog or cat receives the best care possible.
-
We use only 100% natural, high-quality products on the animals we groom. Every pet is treated as an individual — we consider coat condition, health, temperament, and comfort throughout the grooming process.
-
Our salon is designed to be a calm, cage-free space (unless otherwise requested). It’s fully air-conditioned and features a secure outdoor area for dogs who prefer some fresh air before or after their groom. CCTV is in operation throughout the building, and fresh water is available at all times.
-
We place a strong emphasis on training and professional development. All groomers working from the Dandini’s salon are qualified and stay up to date with the latest techniques in grooming and animal care. We believe there’s always more to learn — no matter how long you've been in the industry.
-
We believe in natural solutions — which is why we offer a carefully chosen range of shampoos, skin remedies, treats, food, and grooming tools that we’ve tried, tested, and trust.
In addition to grooming, we aim to make your experience as convenient as possible. We offer a pick-up and drop-off service for grooming appointments, and we’re happy to recommend trusted local dog walkers and sitters who share our standards of care.
