Behaviour-led dog grooming in Yeovil

Understanding dogs. Making grooming better.

Every dog is different, so I don’t believe grooming should be one-size-fits-all.

I offer one-to-one grooming and adapt each appointment to the individual dog in front of me. For some dogs that means a straightforward full groom. For others it may mean a shorter appointment, a different order of grooming, an owner staying, or simply doing less that day.

My aim is to keep dogs clean, comfortable and well maintained while making grooming as manageable as possible for them.

At From Scruffy to Fluffy, I provide a wide range of dog grooming services. My aim is to make sure your dog is looking and feeling their best.

My full dog groom includes a clip or trim, bath, dry and nail clip, finished with either a bow or bandana.

About From Scruffy to Fluffy

I’m a City & Guilds Level 3 qualified dog groomer and I’m also qualified in canine behaviour. I use that knowledge in the way I work with every dog, not just those who are particularly nervous or reactive.

From Scruffy to Fluffy is a fully equipped home grooming studio in Yeovil, where I offer a calm, one-to-one service. Because I only work with one dog at a time, I can give them my full attention and adapt the appointment around what they need.

I pay close attention to body language and the quieter signs that a dog may be finding something difficult. Where needed, I can change the order of the groom, keep appointments shorter, work over several visits, or have an owner stay if that helps their dog feel more comfortable.

I don’t believe grooming should be about forcing every dog through the same routine. My aim is to keep dogs clean, comfortable and well maintained while making the experience as manageable and positive as possible for them.

I’m always happy to chat before booking if your dog has struggled with grooming in the past or you’re unsure what type of appointment would suit them best.

Helen gave my six year old Springer a lovely haircut this afternoon. We’ll certainly be calling on her expert services again in the future.

Helen is an excellent groomer. She manages our anxious cockapoo wonderfully and gives him a really good groom. Strongly recommended

Simon Stacey

My dog doesn’t take to grooming naturally, so I’m grateful for the calm perseverance every time we show up, as he always looks smarter when he left than when he arrived!

Annabelle

When bubbles comes in for a cut. Helen is always attentive and patient. I love the way she cuts her and the attention to detail. Helen really understands dogs and it’s nice to see bubbles building that trust with Helen

James Beaven

Our Sprocker Spaniel always comes away looking well groomed. Helen takes the care to make sure he is at ease whilst being groomed and gives a very professional job

Angela Suter

Helen was absolutely lovely. Whilst Lizzie was not keen to start with Helen put her at ease and I loved the fact I could stay and watch her interact with Lizzie. Lizzie is a rescue and this was her first grooming experience and by the end of the session she was more relaxed, I believe the delicious treats helped! Thank you very much and highly recommend!

Geoff Hael

Wonderful with our dog Dylan, he went in all shaggy and came out looking gorgeous!!!!

Emma Webster

Amazing groomer. Helen is so patient, my 14 month old bichon frise cross has just had her first full groom after a few months of gentle introductions and mini grooms due to her anxiety. She was even relaxed enough to accept a treat after her groom, for the first time. Cannot recommend Helen highly enough or thank her enough for her patience and skill in dealing with my little diva of a dog, who now looks and smells amazing and really is fluffy!

David Jacklin

Scruffy to Fluffy groom our two Shih Tzu's every couple of months or so. Helen takes great pride in ensuring they look their best. George the younger dog is not the easiest dog to groom ( he's quite temperamental) and even he receives a good cut. Happy to recommend

Molly Louise

Fantastic groom!
Dukey came back looking and smelling great. Helen was so polite and professional, she showed me her work area and explained how Dukey got on with his first groom on collection.

Vickie Moss

Absolutely fantastic job! Rosie looks beautiful, and Helen was great! Would highly recommend to anyone! Both Rosie and I felt at ease and we even got some great advice too!

Karen Chant

What an excellent job. Very convenient drop off and pick up. Milly looks amazing and couldn’t wait to get through the gate. This speaks volumes that this is not just a job but a labour of love. Exceptional value for money x

"Helen had both my springers in for the works she did a fantastic job and they smelled and looked lovely. Helen also treated my old girl to a bubble spa bath which she enjoyed and it soothed her arthritis. Great Job."

"Poppy our springer has severe hip dysplasia, and was as such very worried about her. Helen took great care of Poppy, she love the bath, her cut is perfect (she has hydrotherapy and will now be much easier to dry) and her coat is so soft. Wish I’d know about you sooner, thank you Helen."

"This was Panzers my husky x Rottweiler first time at the groomers, I wish I had bought him here sooner (Im sure Helen would of wanted that as well with all his fur!) he loved it and I loved how he looked and smelt, the price is amazing as well, will definitely be going back and I will be recommending to all my doggy friends, thank you!"

"Helen did a fab job on our very scruffy 15 1/2 year old retriever. He's looking great and smells wonderful after his hydrotherapy session for his old bones. Thanks and see you again next month."
