Collect a fresh dog
Soft, fluffy and smelling great, with advice on tangle brushes if the coat knots. Kate rebooked for six weeks' time.
“My dog came back looking and smelling fantastic, he enjoyed it so much he didn’t want to leave, and it was clear they had been treated with genuine care and patience throughout.”
“Jennet was lovely and reassuring. Ludo had never been groomed before so he was nervous but she did an amazing job. He is definitely fresher now. Highly recommend fluffy and fresh grooming ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Couldn’t recommend Jennet enough! Absolutely amazing dog groomer. Did exactly what we wanted and Scoobs looks amazing. Friendly 1:1 service. We’ll be back again and again and again!!! Thank you ☺️☺️☺️”
