Dogs
Marina Sotiriou runs the Exarchia grooming room: deshed-and-bath, breed-specific scissor cuts, and a gentle bath programme scheduled into the quiet morning slots for senior dogs.
What we stock
Medicated, oatmeal, and puppy-safe. Human shampoo is the wrong pH — this is not a marketing claim.
Slickers, undercoat rakes and mat splitters, matched to coat type.
For the two Athens weeks in spring when the flat becomes upholstered.
Clippers, grinders, ear cleaner and toothpaste kits.
Buying guide
Water tightens an existing mat into something that has to be cut out. Ten minutes with a rake before the dog goes near the bath saves the coat.
For double-coated breeds, do not shave for summer. The undercoat insulates against heat as well as cold, and it often grows back patchy.
Eleni does Wednesday consultations at Exarchia by appointment. Petros runs the small-animal range at Cholargos.
