My name’s Sarah and I’m delighted to be practising in an industry I love, offering a professional, caring, dog grooming service.
· I am based at home working from a custom designed cabin fitted with top of the range equipment.
· Minimising stress and offering one to one attention is a priority.
· My appointment system strives to ensure your dog will be the only one on the premises during their treatment and they will have access to the fully enclosed, dog friendly garden.
I have had a lifelong passion for dogs, and wide experience handling and treating varying temperaments and breeds. I have voluntary and paid experience working for various charitable dog rescue centres as well as overseeing care and treatment in a specialist dog behavioural centre within the SSPCA. I also spent time volunteering in Africa with outreach projects and educating on dog welfare.
I left a career within Police Scotland to follow my passion and my heart. I trained to City and Guilds Diploma Level 3 with an internationally recognised trainer who has the highest achievable dog grooming qualification – The LCGI (Licentiateship Award)
The following treatments are included in a Full Groom:
