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. For further information and prices please call Diane on 07708 169128
