"A healthy dog is a happy dog"

OUR STORY

My name is Kate and I hold a City & Guilds Level 3 Professional Diploma in dog grooming. I started my grooming business in 2010. Having previously run a successful dog walking company, I wanted to explore my more creative side and along with my love and passion for dogs went on to study for my City & Guilds Level 3 qualification. I completed my training at one of the country’s leading grooming schools and winner of Grooming School of the Year 2016 ‘Dogs Delight’ under the tutelage of Master Groomer Julie Lalou. I currently own two Standard Poodles.

I work by myself and professionally groom small to medium sized breeds only. I am fully insured with Public Liability insurance and have undergone Health & Safety and Canine First Aid training as part of my qualification and update this every three years. In addition, I attend regular grooming seminars in order to widen my existing knowledge and to keep abreast of new techniques and changes in the industry.

I can groom to breed standard but I am also happy to work to my clients requests to help find a suitable trim for their dog which suits both their lifestyle and their pets’ health and well-being. I am also qualified in hand stripping which is a grooming technique suitable for wire haired breeds and some silky coats.

About

Services

SERVICES

I offer a complete range of grooming services from nose to tail. The health and welfare of your dog is always my number one priority and I pay special attention to ensure that all dogs in my care are made to feel relaxed and at ease resulting in a more enjoyable experience for them. The process of grooming also allows for me to make a general health check inspecting the condition of the coat, skin and the dogs general well being.

Mat Removal

We comply with the Animal Welfare Act of 2006 and will not cause pain and suffering to your dog by brushing out matting. If your dog is matted it will require clipping short, which is charged depending on the severity and on a case by case basis on top of your grooming service. We will always have your authorisation and will never shave a dog down without your consent. After your appointment we will go through the after care and coat maintenance specific to your breed to help prevent future matting form occurring.
