Expert Spaniel Grooming for the York Community

Owned and operated by Lucy—a former professional dog walker of three years—we understand that York Spaniels are adventurous at heart. Whether your companion has been flushing birds in the fields or exploring the muddy banks of the Ouse, we specialize in maintaining that silky Spaniel elegance while keeping their coat functional and tangle-free.
Masterful Styling & The One-to-One Experience
Precision Spaniel Services
We offer specialized care tailored to Cockers, Springers, Cavaliers, and Clumbers alike:
- The Signature Spaniel Trim: We focus on thinning and blending to achieve a natural, balanced look. Whether you prefer traditional feathering or a tidy all-over clip, we ensure your dog looks their best.
- Hand Stripping: For wire-haired or silky-coated Spaniels, we offer traditional hand stripping to maintain the correct coat texture and rich color, rather than just clipping it away.
- The Deep Cleanse: Every Spaniel receives a premium hydrobath to remove stubborn mud and grit, followed by a professional blowout and thorough ear cleaning—essential for the "floppy-eared" family.
- Field-Ready Management: For the active York Spaniel, we offer "Adventure-Proof" grooming—clearing the "spaniel mats" from behind the ears and trimming leg feathers to minimize burrs and tangles.
Experience a more refined approach to Spaniel grooming. At Fluffs, we combine a walker’s heart with an expert stylist’s hand.
Your dog means the world to you, so choosing the right groomer matters.
At Fluffs, grooming is not just about appearance; it is about comfort, care and trust.
I hold a Level 2 & 3 Diploma in Dog Grooming and each appointment is a one-to-one experience tailored to your dog's breed, coat type and personality. I take time to understand what your dog needs and how they are feeling, ensuring every session is as relaxed and positive as possible.
From puppies learning the ropes to dogs who have been coming for years, every groom follows the same gentle approach.

Why York Spaniel Owners Trust Fluffs
We know that Spaniels are famously affectionate and thrive in quiet, focused spaces. By offering a one-to-one boutique environment in Wigginton, we eliminate the barking and stress of a busy "assembly-line" salon.
Lucy’s Level 3 qualifications and background as a professional walker mean your Spaniel receives a groom that balances elegant aesthetics with the needs of an active, outdoor lifestyle. If you are looking for a stylist who understands the complexity of the Spaniel coat and the spirited nature of the breed, we’d love to welcome you to the Fluffs family.

Common Questions
At what age should my puppy have their first groom?
I recommend bringing your little one in as soon as they’ve had their second set of vaccinations (usually around 12–14 weeks). my Puppy Introduction is all about "paws-itive" associations—we keep it short and sweet with lots of cuddles so they learn that the groomers is a fun place to be, not a scary one
How long does a full groom take at Fluffs?
On average, a Full Dog Groom takes between 2 to 3 hours, depending on your pup’s coat condition and size. We take our time to ensure every dog feels relaxed and pampered. We’ll give you a "heads up" text about 15 minutes before your best friend is ready for their red-carpet exit
Does hand stripping hurt my dog?
Not at all! When a coat is "blown" (ready to come out), hand stripping is a painless, natural process. It’s actually the best way to maintain the wire-hair texture and deep colour for breeds like Terriers. I have been expertly trained to do this gently, ensuring your pup stays comfortable throughout the session
What is your appointment & cancellation policy?
I ask for at least 24 hours' notice if you need to reschedule. This allows me to offer the slot to a pup on our waiting list. Late cancellations or "no-shows" will be subject to a fee.
