DOG GROOMING IN LYMINGTON
Your dog’s comfort and welfare are our priority
A BIT ABOUT US
We are Tracy and Julie and together are Gates Dog Grooming.
Having both spent many years working in welfare and education, we decided it was time for a change in life. We both love dogs and after lots of conversation and deliberation we decided we would give dog grooming a go!
We started the training and knew straight away we had made the right decision. After completing the extensive six months of training, which included grooming many different breeds to both pet trim and breed standard level, we are now fully qualified to City & Guilds Level 3. We opened our salon at the start of 2025 and are now lucky enough to be spending our days meeting lovely new people and their wonderful dogs.
OUR ETHOS
When we decided dog grooming was the way to go for us, we knew we wanted to put the comfort and welfare of dogs at the heart of what we do. That’s why we only offer appointments for one dog at a time and always maintain a calm and welcoming atmosphere in our professional home-based salon. We even have a safe and secure designated outside space, accessed from our salon, which allows us to give your dog comfort breaks as and when needed.
When you bring your dog to us you will find a clean and calm space dedicated to creating a positive experience for your dog (and for you!).
SERVICES WE PROVIDE
We offer a competitively priced full range of grooming services from nail clipping to hand stripping.
To give an indication of our prices, the cost for a Full Groom on a small breed is from £40, a medium breed is from £50 and a large breed is from £55. However, just like people, each dog is an individual and may require slightly different care. Please contact us to chat about your dog’s specific requirements and we will happily provide you with a price.
TESTIMONIALS
“They clipped my cocker spaniel and did a fantastic job. I have never had a dog groomer take so much care before. I would 100% recommend. Their facility is wonderfully clean and such a nice environment, he came out smelling like he was going on a date after his Tom Ford dog shampoo. I will definitely be using Gates from now on. ”
“We took our dog for the first time to Gates and I can honestly say it was faultless! Julie and Tracy were so lovely with Aggie. She came out happy, looking amazing and smelling incredible!! They really do go above and beyond to make sure our precious pooches are pampered! Highly recommended and happy to have found out about you. ”
“I can’t commend Julie and Tracy enough - where other groomers may coerced my anxious rescue dog into having that bath, they have elected to go down the dog-led ‘familiarisation ‘ route, whereby my water-shy companion visits them for a brush and fuss, until she’s ready for total immersion into the Gates way! It’s very obvious that Julie and Tracy love animals and the wellbeing of their doggy charges is clearly of paramount importance to them - thank you both for being so patient and understanding. ”
“Lovely and friendly. Best groom our golden retriever has ever had. Very professional. Highly recommended.”
