The people behind the glow-ups
Marmalade & Mutt is a small, friendly salon built around one simple idea: every dog deserves to be treated like family.
Hello, I'm Robyn
I've spent years with my hands in every kind of coat — from wriggly puppies to grumpy old terriers who'd rather be anywhere else. Somewhere along the way it stopped being a job and became the thing I love most.
Marmalade & Mutt is the salon I always wished existed: unhurried, gentle, and built entirely around the dog in the room. No conveyor belt, no crates of dogs waiting their turn — just one happy hound at a time.
A calm little salon
It's quiet, it's warm, and it smells faintly of blueberry facial. We keep the music low and the dryers gentle, with plenty of breaks and a generous treat jar for the brave.
Every product is chosen to be kind to skin and coat, and we'll always talk you through what we're doing — and what would keep your dog comfortable between visits.
And this is Marmalade
The apricot cockapoo who gave us our name (and our colour scheme). She supervises from her bed by the window, greets every nervous newcomer, and firmly believes the treat jar is hers. If your dog leaves half as content as she looks, we've done our job.
What every dog gets here
The little things that add up to a happy dog and a happy you.
Calm & unhurried
One dog at a time, at their own pace, with breaks and fuss whenever they need them.
Gentle & careful
Dog-first handling and skin-friendly products chosen to suit each coat.
Breed-smart styling
From a puppy’s first trim to breed-standard styling and hand-stripping.
Honest pricing
Clear indicative prices, confirmed after a quick look — never a surprise at the end.
Loved by local dogs
“Biscuit always comes home soft, sweet-smelling and genuinely happy. You can tell he's been looked after rather than rushed — we wouldn't take him anywhere else now.”
“Maple's spaniel coat has never looked better. They actually understand how the breed should be shaped, and they talked me through how to keep her feathering matt-free at home.”
“I could not believe how much fur came out of Bruno — and how little ends up on the sofa now. The de-shed is booked in every season from here on.”
