Vanity Fur VIP - Dog Grooming in Sherburn, Malton, North Yorkshire

Vanity Fur VIP offers calm, one-to-one, consent-based dog grooming in Sherburn near Malton, specialising in dogs who need a gentler approach.

This is not a busy salon environment. I work slowly, allowing breaks and building trust so nervous, elderly, puppies, rescue or first-time groomed dogs can feel safe during the process.

Every appointment begins with a temperament and comfort assessment to tailor the groom to your individual dog. My focus is your dog coping happily, not rushing for a quick finish.

If you’re worried about how your dog manages grooming, you’re very welcome to message me and tell me about them.

ABOUT ME - VANITY FUR VIP

I run a quiet, one-to-one grooming salon in Sherburn near Malton where the focus is your dog coping happily, not just how the haircut looks.

Some dogs find grooming overwhelming, especially puppies, rescues, elderly dogs or those who have had a difficult experience elsewhere. I work slowly, allowing breaks and giving dogs time to understand what’s happening so they can feel safe and build trust over multiple visits.

I won’t rush, overbook or push a dog past what they can comfortably handle. Instead, I adapt each appointment to the individual dog in front of me. Owners are always talked through coat care, realistic styles and maintenance so there are no surprises.

My aim is long-term welfare and a positive grooming experience, a dog that walks into the salon relaxed matters more to me than a perfect finish.

If you’re worried about how your dog manages grooming, you’re very welcome to message me and tell me about them first.

SERVICES

1️⃣ One-to-One Dog Grooming

Your dog is groomed start-to-finish in a calm, private appointment. No busy salon, no crate waiting, and no being rushed, just individual care tailored to your dog.

2️⃣ Nervous & Sensitive Dog Specialist

Ideal for anxious, rescue, puppies or worried dogs. I work slowly, read body language, and build trust over time so grooming becomes something your dog can cope with comfortably.

3️⃣ Puppy Introduction Grooming

Gentle first grooms designed to build confidence and positive associations with grooming. We focus on comfort and familiarity so puppies learn grooming is safe from the beginning.

4️⃣ Senior Dog Grooming

Extra care for older dogs with stiffness, medical needs, or reduced tolerance. Plenty of breaks, supportive handling, and realistic grooming plans focused on comfort first.

5️⃣ Handstripping (Wire Coats & Terriers)

Correct coat maintenance for wire-coated breeds. Handstripping removes dead coat properly, helping maintain healthy skin, correct texture, and natural protection from the weather.

6️⃣ Emmi-Pet Ultrasonic Teeth Cleaning

Silent, non-vibrating ultrasonic dental cleaning to help reduce plaque, tartar and odour. A gentle option for dogs that won’t tolerate brushing.

7️⃣ Comfort-First / Low-Stress Grooming

I prioritise how your dog feels during the groom, not just how they look. Breaks, patience and clear communication help dogs learn grooming isn’t something to fear.

8️⃣ Coat Care & Owner Education

Practical advice and guidance on brushing, bathing, and maintaining your dog’s coat at home so you feel confident and your dog stays comfortable between grooms.

9️⃣ Spa & Skin Care Treatments

Conditioning treatments, facials, and coat-care upgrades chosen to support skin health, hydration, and coat quality — not just cosmetic extras.

???? Breed-Specific Styling & Asian Fusion Styling

Balanced, tailored styling suited to your dog’s breed, coat type, and lifestyle. From natural pet trims to more styled finishes where appropriate.

VIP HEALTH AND TEMPERAMENT CHECKS

All VIPs are given a general health check on their coat health, skin condition, ears, eyes and teeth are checked to ensure your dog is healthy and any anomolies are reported back to you.  We assess the temperament of your dog prior to any groom to determine the best approach to the grooming experience and to ensure a calm environment for your dog.
