Dog grooming for owners in Hook Norton

Hook Norton is an ironstone village west of Banbury, on the way towards Chipping Norton, and is widely known for its brewery. Dog owners in Hook Norton can bring their dog to our Banbury salon. We don’t visit the village.

Hook Norton sits in rolling country between Banbury and Chipping Norton, a little further out than Bloxham, with a tightly wound village centre of honey-coloured stone. It is a pleasant drive, not an all-day expedition, and Banbury is still the nearest large town for many people.

We don’t offer a travelling groom in Hook Norton or the hamlets around it. If you would like your dog groomed at Dapper Dogs, you bring them to our salon in Banbury. When you call to book, ask for directions if you need them, and we will help you in.

Village and farm tracks in this part of north Oxfordshire can be muddy for a good part of the year. A long or dense coat picks that up around the skirts and paws. Drying a dog properly after a walk matters as much as the occasional salon visit; our winter undercoat notes cover grit, damp and harness rub without suggesting you should ever shave a double coat at home.
