An introduction to
Scruffs Dog Grooming
Scruffs Dog Grooming is based at the dog friendly Silversprings Garden Centre in Titchfield, Fareham. Customers can enjoy a coffee, cake, breakfast or lunch in the Summerhouse cafe at Silversprings while we are busy grooming.
Whilst your dog is in our care, we will treat them like our own. They will get lots of love and attention while they are with us to make their experience, positive, fun, and stress-free. At Scruffs Dog Grooming, the welfare of your dog is our priority; it is absolutely essential that your dog feels relaxed and safe on their visit.
Prior to booking the first grooming appointment, we will arrange a free 15 minute consultation. This is to enable your dog to familarise themselves with the salon environment and to meet their groomer. During this consultation we will be able to assess the dog’s temperament, discuss any health concerns, and understand what you would like to achieve from the groom. This will be recorded on your dog’s consultation record so we are well prepared when you bring them along for their appointment.
We are fully insured and offer a calm relaxed, cage-free environment for your dog’s grooming experience.
Scruffs Dog Grooming offer the following:
Puppy introduction
Once your pup has had their second set of vaccinations (around 12 weeks old), build their grooming visit confidence slowly by bringing them to structured puppy introduction sessions.
These introduction sessions at Scruffs Dog Grooming help your puppy acclimate to the sights, sounds, and gentle touch associated with grooming them, fostering a positive association & a lifetime of, stress-free grooming.
Dog grooming
Why is it important to groom my dog?
Grooming is vital to prevent your dog’s coat getting matted, as well as removing dead hair, dirt, and dandruff. Brushing stimulates the natural oils in the skin and fur, which helps make for a glossy, healthy coat.
Scruffs Dog Grooming services include: full groom, spa treatments, de-shedding, hand stripping, bath & towel dry, and bath & tidy.
Nail trim
Why is it important to trim dog’s nails?
Nails that are too long are at risk of being torn off, such as if your dog’s nail gets caught on a piece of carpeting or furniture.
This can result in an injury that might require veterinary care if it’s serious enough. Longer dog nails also make it harder for dogs to walk around comfortably.
Teeth cleaning
Keeping your dog’s teeth clean is important.
Just like us, ignoring cleaning can lead to plaque build-up and dental problems. Dental disease is very common in dogs, second only to ear infections, and can be extremely uncomfortable
Ultrasonic teeth cleaning is a no noise solution to keep some of the common dental issues that may affect your dog at bay.
Love and affection
The Scruffs Dog Grooming team is passionate about creating a nurturing environment where your dog is not just a guest but a member of our extended family.
We will give your pet oodles of love and affection. We love dogs and want your dog to feel right at home while they are with us.
There is no charge for this service, we won’t be able to help ourselves!
Cat Grooming
At Scruffs, we know that cats deserve a little pampering too! That’s why we have dedicated grooming days just for our feline friends. Our experienced team provides gentle, stress-free grooming services in a calm and relaxed environment.
Grooming cats is just as important as dogs. They can easily become matted if not brushed and combed regularly and their coats get greasy from their saliva by their constant self grooming.

Scruffs are a super friendly team and made my usually nervous dog feel very at ease. They are very thorough and asked plenty of questions about my dogs personality and health before the groom to alter the service to our needs. I am very pleased with the haircut and would highly recommended!Posted on Google![]()

I have a small Pomeranian called Tyson he is 3 years old and very spoilt in every way possible and really hates to not have either myself or husband in his eye sight. As you can imagine I expect him to have an anxiety attack which he has had with other groomers. But to much my surprise thanks to the wonderful ladies there he played and actually was very content for us to walk away. On the return he looked so handsome and very well groomed and loved his time there so much so he wasn’t keen to leave the ladies.take so much time both with grooming and mental health. I would like to say that we travel about 25 miles and would travel 100 so we know our very special boy has the very best of carePosted on Google![]()

Scruffs are amazing. We just moved to the area and they managed to fit in an emergency groom for a very whiffy dog! They were brilliant with our rescue street dog who, despite looking like a wolf, goes to bits at the groomers. Not this time, she was loving it. Thanks so much.Posted on Google![]()

I did a Groom Your Own Dog day at Scruffs. Tracy was brilliant at explaining everything and talked me through step-by-step. My dog was very nervous but she put us both at ease. The day was followed up by a lovely video compilation of our day, as well as a written reminder of the techniques used. Thank you also for his goody bag. I thoroughly recommend Scruffs.Posted on Google![]()

Mum took my sprocker Bellatrix to scruffs for her routine groom and she came out beautiful (as always!) wearing a little bow to finish her look off. With recommendation of some calming tablets, they even managed to do her very fluffy paws this visit. One very happy doggo and owner ☺️Posted on Facebook![]()

Took my very lively boxer pup 'Ziggy' along yesterday, and after some thoughtful management, she was calm (ish), and ready for her 'Pawdicure'. The wonderful ladies showed great knowledge, respect and support for what was (an unnecessarily traumatic experience) a first time visit for my Boxer/Octopus/Kangaroo! Could not be happier & I can highly recommend Scruffs to anyone! Just fab! Thank you ladies! Mike & ZiggyPosted on Google![]()

I was a little anxious that my cat (11yrs old) would not let them groom him (he can be a bit tetchy), but I needn't have. Between them they were manage to complete the lion cut with no issues. They treated my cat with kindness and understood his cues when he'd had enough. I will most definitely use again. Thank you ladies, I have a much happier cat.Posted on Google![]()
