A warm, booking-first website for an award-nominated Edinburgh dog grooming salon.
Groomingdales — an Edinburgh dog grooming salon and spa, nominated for the Scotland Business Awards and recognised among the city’s top grooming destinations — needed a website that matched their warmth, professionalism, and care, and made it easy for dog owners to understand their packages and book. We built a site that leads with personality, presents the service range clearly, and gives every visitor a simple path to getting their dog booked in.

The Client
About Groomingdales
Groomingdales is an Edinburgh-based dog grooming salon and spa offering professional grooming, bathing, and pampering services with a genuine focus on making every dog feel relaxed, loved, and cared for.
Nominated for the Scotland Business Awards and recognised by The Best Edinburgh and Smart Brit as one of Edinburgh’s top dog grooming destinations, the salon also offers specialist Emmi-Pet ultrasonic teeth cleaning and a retail product range alongside its grooming packages.
The Challenge
A warmly regarded local business needed a website that reflected the quality and care of the experience — and made it easy to book.
A booking journey that didn’t match the standard
The salon’s reputation was built on the quality of the experience, but the digital path to booking didn’t reflect it. Visitors needed a clearer, friendlier route to registering and booking.
Packages not clearly presented
Multiple grooming packages with different inclusions needed a structure that helped a first-time visitor understand what was right for their dog before reaching out.
The specialist teeth cleaning service was underexposed
The Emmi-Pet ultrasonic teeth cleaning service is a genuine differentiator but was not prominently positioned as a reason to choose Groomingdales over a standard groomer.
Local Edinburgh SEO
A local service competing in a city with multiple grooming options needed a site structured to appear consistently for Edinburgh dog grooming searches.
The Brief
A clear set of priorities
The new site needed to feel friendly, professional and caring, while being genuinely easy to use for a dog owner booking their first appointment.
- Present the grooming packages clearly with inclusions and a sizing guide
- Lead with the warmth and care that defines the salon’s reputation
- Position the Emmi-Pet teeth cleaning as a standout specialist service
- Create a clear, low-friction customer registration and booking route
- Build Edinburgh-specific local SEO to support visibility in the city
- Reflect the award-nominated, independently recognised quality of the business
The Approach
Built around the people using it
We started with the Edinburgh dog owner choosing a groomer for the first time — someone who wants to feel that their dog will be looked after, not just processed. The site needed to communicate genuine care before it communicated packages and prices.
/ Structure
A homepage that leads with the salon’s ethos and warmth before moving into packages, specialist services, and booking. The customer registration route positioned clearly and early.
/ Design
Warm, friendly visual system with brand colours, clean typography, and photography of the salon and dogs front and centre. Approachable and professional in equal measure.
/ Development
WordPress with Divi, with a structured package section, a sizing guide page, a dedicated Emmi-Pet teeth cleaning page, a blog, a product shop, and an integrated customer registration link.
/ Search optimisation
Homepage targeting dog grooming Edinburgh and dog grooming salon Edinburgh. Specialist page targeting dog teeth cleaning Edinburgh. Blog content supporting longer-tail grooming queries.
