Our lurcher cross is a bit silly and not a fan of bath time at all. But here, he gets at ease during his spa session, so much that he falls asleep by the end of it. Sandra is so professional, accommodating and caring, she really enjoys her job! Although I was nervous the first time, I feel so comfortable dropping him off now, I know he’s in great hands! I believe every dog truly has its day when they go here!

About the salon
I opened the salon in 2025 — a small garden studio here in Leixlip. I groom one dog at a time, by appointment, so every visit is calm and unhurried, with natural shampoos and plenty of patience.
I hold an iPET Level 3 Diploma, I'm certified in canine first aid, and the salon is fully insured.
I also work with local dog shelters — rescue dogs get groomed here too.
A full groom usually takes one to two hours, and most coats do best every four to eight weeks. Pricing depends on breed, size and coat, so message me with your dog's details and I'll give you a quote before you book.

What our customers say
Sandra did a fantastic job at grooming Lulu our American Akita. It was Lulu’s first groom but Sandra was a true professional. Lulu was given time to relax while Sandra did a quality groom session. Lulu’s coat has never looked so good, and she made a new friend.
Couldn’t recommend enough! Leixlip Dog Grooming transformed an extremely matted little stray into an extremely handsome little man for TNR West Dublin Rescue without charge.
Sandra is amazing, has a really lovely way about her. Skye, my Golden Retriever, is a very anxious girl and as soon as we walked in the room was quiet and smelled of lavender. Skye was beautifully relaxed and comfortable, everything was done at her pace. Thank you so much Sandra for making it a nice experience for Skye and me!
Absolutely amazing! I brought my 4 year old Golden Gracie and my 6 month old Ruby to Sandra for their grooming. I couldn’t recommend more. She really cares about the dogs, she’s very calm and patient. The grooming happens in a very relaxed atmosphere and a safe space for them. I trust her 10000%.
Sandra took our 7 month old golden retriever in for grooming, he is quite boisterous and full of energy. Sandra did a wonderful job and is quite helpful with tips on grooming, which was much appreciated. Loved the follow up pictures of Seamus’ day.
Amazing from start to finish, my two felt so relaxed, most importantly. Sandra was so good at what she does so I felt so much better as it was their first time in a groomers. We can’t wait to return.
Our Kenny is just back from his first grooming with the wonderful Sandra. Couldn’t recommend her enough. She loved Kenny like he was her own and made sure he felt safe and happy in a new environment. Attention to detail was impeccable and Kenny was so happy afterwards, and has crashed out asleep after his morning at the salon. Thank you Sandra, and Kenny can’t wait for his next visit already.
