Grooming at Poochie Mama

Dog grooming in Beaumaris, from first puppy trims to seniors.

Oodles, poodles, schnauzers and terriers are all regulars on our table. Whatever the coat, the groom happens at your dog’s pace.

The full groom

A proper wash and dry, then the haircut you’ve asked for. Tell us how you like them to look and we’ll stick to it, whether that’s a neat schnauzer trim or a fluffy oodle.

Bath and Tidy, every 6 weeks

Our regular 6 week Bath and Tidy keeps their coat and face looking sharp between full grooms.

Puppy’s first groom

A first groom sets the tone for every one after it, so we go slowly and keep it gentle. The aim is a pup who goes home thinking the groomer’s a pretty good place.

Timid and older dogs

We keep a space away from the other dogs for the shy ones and the seniors. They get a calmer groom, at their pace, without the noise of a busy floor.

Not sure which one your dog needs? Give us a ring, tell us the breed and how long since their last groom, and we’ll point you the right way.

The Poochie Mama way

Four things that don’t happen at our grooming studio.

A groom shouldn’t be something your dog dreads. These are the rules we keep so it isn’t.

  1. Number 1

    Your dog isn’t rushed

    We take as long as the groom needs, and fidgety dogs get patience, not a hurry-up.

  2. Number 2

    We don’t guess the cut

    We’ll ask how you like them, listen, and do what you’ve asked for.

  3. Number 3

    The shy ones don’t share the floor

    Timid and older dogs get their own quiet space, away from the others.

  4. Number 4

    We don’t take aggressive dogs

    Our hands are our tools, so we won’t take dogs that are aggressive or bite. It’s also why every other dog here can relax.

Meet Rita

The groomer behind Poochie Mama in Beaumaris.

Poochie Mama is Rita’s studio. She took it over in 2025.

Rita runs it on one simple idea: every dog on the table gets looked after the way she’d look after her own. That means listening to how you like them done, going gently with the nervous ones, and never letting the clock decide when a groom is finished.

“Where your dog is treated like one of my very own.”
Rita, Poochie Mama Dog Grooming

“Rita is simply the best! You couldn’t wish for a more caring and gentle person. From the moment we met, we knew our dog was in the best hands. Rita takes the time to listen, never rushes, and makes sure our dog is relaxed and comfortable. She looks so cute — the best she’s ever looked! We couldn’t recommend Rita highly enough. ❤️”

“Marli loves her haircut from Rita! So patient, despite how fidgety Marli is 🩷 comes home gorgeous everytime”
Anna BowyerGoogle review
“Rita is the best - so kind, patient and genuinely loves what she does. Frankie (cavoodle, 16 months old) has been going to Rita since her first groom and it has only been positive experiences. Frankie can sometimes be a bit difficult, but Rita handles her so well and takes her time to make it easier for Frankie. I cannot recommend Rita highly enough!”
