In the Dog house is nestled in High Ongar a picturesque rural setting, our one-to-one dog grooming salon offers a truly personal and stress-free experience for every dog that walks through the door. Away from the noise and rush of busy high-street salons, we provide a calm, quiet environment where your dog receives our full attention from start to finish - no cages, no waiting, and no overlapping appointments.
We specialise in gentle, tailored grooming services designed around each dog’s individual needs, coat type, and temperament. Whether it’s a full groom, bath and tidy, deshedding treatment, nail trimming, or a breed-specific style, every session is carried out with patience, care, and a genuine understanding of canine behaviour. This approach is especially beneficial for nervous, elderly, or first-time grooming dogs, helping them feel safe and comfortable throughout the process.
At the heart of the In the Dog House salon is a deep love for rescue dogs. We understand that many have had difficult starts in life and may need extra time, reassurance, and trust-building. We take pride in creating a positive grooming experience for these dogs, working at their pace and celebrating every small step forward. Our goal is not just to groom, but to build confidence and create a space where every dog feels secure and valued.
Surrounded by the tranquillity of the countryside, our salon is more than just a grooming space - it’s a retreat where dogs are treated with kindness, respect, and individual care. We believe grooming should be a positive experience, and we’re dedicated to making every visit as relaxed and enjoyable as possible for both dogs and their owners.
