Fluffy Monsters
Huskeys, Akitas, Shelties, English Sheep Dogs, Collies, Golden Retrievers… even Pugs are double coated breeds! To best care for our fluffy friends we recommend bathing, brushing and de-shedding every 4 – 8 weeks. We offer a range of services that aim to promote a healthy happy dog whilst reducing unwanted shedding.
Prince & Princesses
From Poodles & Labradoodles to Shih Tzu’s… fancy and fabulous, grooms that bring out the inner glam in your dog. From highly styled to teddy bear cuts, we offer you a bespoke service that achieves the look that you and your dog will love. To keep your dog looking ‘cat walk’ ready, we recommend regular bathing and grooming.
Mucky Pups
The dogs that just love an adventure, they are often found in bushes, muddy puddles and ponds. To transform them back from smelly swamp monsters, we offer a range of bathing and grooming services. For those working dogs we have styles available designed to keep them cool, comfortable and easy to clean, ideal for after a hard day in the field.
Puppy Grooms
Familiarises your puppy to all the noises, smells and activities of a grooming environment, helping put them at ease so they can enjoy their visits. It teaches your pup how to behave in a bath with a dryer and on a table in a low stress environment. It will make brushing and grooming your dog at home easier as they become familiar with the tools and techniques involved.
Testimonials
“Absolutely thrilled with Grooms by Karen. Highly recommend. My dog Ursi is so timid and I was worried about leaving her in case she stressed or caused a problem. Went to collect her and struggled to get her to leave. My little lady was so relaxed a looking beautiful. “
Natalie Davies
“Karen has groomed my 2 dogs twice (Pug and Jack Russel) and both times they have come away looking and smelling gorgeous. I have taken them to groomers in the past but they have never come away looking and smelling as lovely as they have when Karen has groomed them. The smell stayed on them for ages which is what I like. Karen is a lovely lady and clearly has a love for dogs. I will definitely be booking them in with Karen when they need doing again.”

“A pleasure to meet a groomer who is genuinely passionate about dogs and there wellbeing. Not only was the groom on my spaniel fantastic but Karen went out of her way to put me and my dog at ease. We will be back. “

“Thank you for a fantastic groom. We rescued Charlie last year and unfortunately, he was very matted and his coat looked in poor condition. After his groom with Karen he looked like a new dog and we couldn’t be happier. “
