“She de shedded her coat beautifully, she smells amazing and Bessie was happy, calm & not anxious. Denise really does go above & beyond to the care of my dog & I have just re booked again.”
“Took my dog Milo to Hunts Hounds today, he is deaf and hadn't been to a groomers before, but Denise is very experienced and having already chatted through Milo's needs, I felt confident in leaving him in her capable hands. When I picked him up he was relaxed and looked amazing.”
“Such a lovely new, pretty salon, it feels so calm and welcoming the moment you walk in. I love that they only take one dog at a time, it makes the whole thing so much more relaxed and personal.”
“I have a large old and stubborn Goldendoodle who is quite a handful. Denise did a fabulous wash and groom and my dog is now looking handsome and smells a treat!”
“What a wonderful service. Great customer care, my dog looks amazing. Even with him being a young dog and a fidget (I would say nuisance).”
“Denise really looked after Peggy today, an old girl in dog years. Her cut looks fab just right! A very happy and lighter girlie.”
