About Garside's Grooming
We're a small, family-run dog grooming business based in Failsworth, Manchester. We believe every dog deserves a calm, gentle grooming experience — tailored to their individual needs and temperament.
Our Story
Garside's Grooming was started because we know firsthand how stressful traditional grooming salons can be for anxious dogs. Our own dog struggles with new environments and loud noises — so we decided to create the kind of grooming experience we wished existed.
Here, there are no cages, no conveyor belts, and no rushing. Just one dog at a time, getting our full attention in a quiet, comfortable space. We work at your dog's pace, with plenty of breaks and treats along the way.
Our Approach
One-to-One Care
Your dog has our undivided attention from start to finish. No other dogs in the space means less stress and more focus on making your pup comfortable.
Patience & Kindness
We understand that every dog is different. Whether they're nervous, energetic, or just getting used to grooming — we adapt to their needs.
Quality Products
We use gentle, high-quality shampoos and grooming products that are safe for sensitive skin and leave coats looking and feeling their best.
What Makes Us Different
- No time pressure: We don't overbook. Your dog gets as much time as they need.
- Calm environment: Quiet, home-like setting — not a busy salon.
- Anxious dog friendly: We've worked with many nervous dogs and know how to help them feel safe.
- Transparent communication: We'll always talk through what we're doing and check in with you if we have any concerns.
- All breeds welcome: From tiny terriers to gentle giants — we love them all!
