Both groomers are fully qualified to City and Guilds standards, Jacqui (left) also teaches Dog Grooming to students at Kingston Mauward College, Dorchester.

 

Our services are fully insured and we carry out Health assessment checks with the animals owners before any work is done, this is of paramount importance for our work.

You may have asked yourself - Is this a Profession that requires a qualification?

Well under current legislation, groomers do not have to be qualified; qualifications don’t necessarily make someone a better groomer. Our policy is that your most treasured possession in your household, should not only be with a groomer that knows what he/she is doing, but the dog and the owner must feel happy knowing that their animal is with someone that he/she trusts and feels comfortable with being left in their hands.

We like to pride ourselves that people feel comfortable not only with our services, but with our attitude too.

We are not robots. We are all dog lovers and owners and would like to feel that we have an understanding for their feelings and mutual trust.

A clean dog after all is a happy dog. They act happier and are more light and alert. A really good groomer ensures that your dog has a really nice day at the salon. Just like when you yourself visit the hairdressers. It must not be a stressful experience or an uncomfortable situation where you or your animal dreads going.

After all, not only are you paying for this service, but you expect your animal to know and trust the groomer and appreciate this pampering experience by having a one to one groomer lavishing quality time on him.

In time, if an owner uses the same groomer, so much the better for the dog who develops a bond with his/her own personal “hairdresser”.

When the pet parent arrives to pick up ‘their’ child  its always very exciting and rewarding, not only for the owner, but for the groomer as well.

We like to pride ourselves on this experience that owners, who leave their cherished animals in OUR hands, have made the right decision.
