“Winnie has been going to Louise for grooming for a few years. She always comes out relaxed and smelling wonderful. … I can highly recommend Louise to all local pooch owners. She is very professional, friendly and reliable.”
“From the moment we arrived, Louise made Frank feel completely at ease, no stress at all, just wagging tails and calm vibes. She took such thoughtful care of him.”
“Took my double-coated, 23-kilo male dog for grooming. He followed Louise in without looking back at me and when he was done, he was clean, fresh and neat. Excellent value and professional.”
“She very patiently understood the problems of walking them in the countryside during the winter rain and muddy conditions. When I returned they were trimmed, clipped and bathed and we all couldn't be happier with the transformation.”
“Louise always does a marvellous job at making them look like pristine pooches and is very calm with them so even our nervous one relaxes for grooming, the only groomer we have used that has been able to do this!!!”
“Is so great to know that Sooty loves coming to see you and could not be happier with his Summer cut. Beautiful job whilst keeping his character.”
