I pride myself in giving your pets the best experience and use all natural products whenever possible, including; all natural vegan friendly shampoo & cologne, cleaning products, aromatherapy ingredients, and more. I also sell the same range of natural products I use in the studio so your dog can get the same high quality treatment home.

I complete all grooming on a 1 to 1 environment to ensure your pet will have a positive experience and all it's individual needs are met. 

Dog grooming is not a regulated industry. Therefore, it's important to ensure that the groomer you visit is insured as well as accountable to an external, professional governable body. This will reassure you that grooming is completed to the highest standards and that your pets' health, welfare and safety are the highest priority.
