WINTER MONTHS

Grooming your dog in the Winter does not have to mean that it has to be shaved down to the skin. You can still have your dog groomed leaving its fur a nice manageable length for owners in this wet weather. OR you can just have a Bath & Tidy which means that no length is taken off the back of the dog, just a tidy around the feet, feathers & face.

WHY SHOULD I GET MY DOG GROOMED

Healthy skin, hair, and nails are what define a well-groomed dog. Dog grooming is the practice of caring for the appearance of a canine for personal or showing purposes. Dog-grooming rituals include washing, hair clipping and cutting, nail clipping  and hair styling . Grooming is important for your pet and is aesthetically pleasing to owners. It helps cut down on shedding and smelling, but will also lead to healthy skin, hair, and nails for your dog. Grooming is also a great way to cut down on allergies and infections for both pets and their owners.

Dog Walking Service Also Available

Testimonal - Sasha & Tally

“Diane has been delivering an amazing service to us for over four years now.  She has come to our villa every five weeks to cut, groom and bath our two dogs, a Cocker Spaniel and a Lhasa Apso.  Both dogs adore her and watching her work on them she clearly adores them too.  Diane's work is meticulous.  She is always punctual and has never let us down. She takes great pride in her work which is reflected in the way both our dogs look- immaculate.  My wife and I, but especially our dogs will miss her greatly but we wish her well and hope that others will have the benefit of her expertise”

Testimonial - Charlie & Poppy

"I have two Tibetan terriers, Charlie and Poppy,aged 13 and 14 respectively. Until we moved to Spain 4 years ago we had clipped and groomed them ourselves and although they were cool they looked awful.  Someone recommended Diane to me when we first moved here  and since then the dogs not only love her but they now look professionally clipped and cute. I don't know what we would do without her as they need clipping at least three times a year in this climate and they are so happy to see her. I can't recommend her highly enough." - Carrie Turner. "
