Hair Of The Dog Devizes

Hair Of The Dog Devizes Appointment only home-based Dog Grooming Salon. C&G qualified & Insured. Dog Visits On Request. I realised with these changes it was time for a career change.

My name is Michelle Lawes- (known to many as Shelley or Shell !) I am the founder of ‘Hair of the Dog’ an individually run dog grooming salon in Devizes which offers natural and tailored pet trims & dog grooming services. In my previous life, I was an NHS nurse for many years dedicating my time caring for patients. From 2019 life changed, particularly with the pandemic creating significant change

in how nurses were able to consult and treat their patients. As a dog lover, I decided I was too old to consider veterinary nursing, but wanted to utilise my health care skills and knowledge and continue to be hands on. In 2022 I was professionally trained by Lesley Garratt, Owner of Canine Design Academy of Dog Grooming. Lesley, LCGI is a member of the Guild of Master groomers and holds the BDGA Higher Diploma in dog grooming (the highest qualification). Later that year I proudly achieved City and Guilds level 2 (Distinction) dog grooming assistant and level 3 (Merit) dog groomer qualifications. As a dog owner I wanted to create a grooming salon that I would like for my own dogs: a relaxed and caring environment, with no factory-line approaches. I provide a 1-2-1 service, that is non-rushed, stress free and enjoyable for both. I happily welcome dog owners to come and have a look around so and your dog can familiarise yourself with the new surroundings. I will always tell you honestly how your dog feels during the groom and will make recommendations for next time. Owners of puppies, nervous and anxious dogs are often invited to stay if I feel it will benefit your dog during its groom. City & Guilds Level 2 & 3 Dog Groomer in a 1-2-1 home-based salon in Devizes.

Here is a few more photos taken over the past year since Hair of the Dog was established. Some are pre groom, post groom, mid groom, puppy intros, pre and post hand strip and some.just enjoying the sunshine...

A massive thank you to all my customers who have supported me over the last 12 months and continue to do so. It is a pleasure to groom each and every one of your dogs, and these photos show just what it truely means to me. It is sad when we lose these family members and see customers move on, but also a joy when I meet a new canine friend, and old customers returning. 😊

Here are many of the lovely dogs that have come through the door to be pampered over the last year. Some photos show before and after their groom - and some just unwinding in the garden!

Freddie, who when he arrives, is nervous at first, soon relaxes, and is a delight to groom.
Dear Teddy, a cocker spaniel has had little if no grooming experience, but with gentle reassuring sessions at his pace, I am sure we will make progress.
Luna, a shih tzu, is her happiest when looking in the mirror, the entire groom.
Samson, a loveable cocker spaniel, is not a fan of teeth cleaning. However, knowing he gets a treat at the end is all worthwhile!
And dearest Maple, a sprocker....well protest comes to mind when I show her the toothbrush!
These are just some of the many lovely dogs who have visited in the last couple of months.
Happy New Year to all my customers. Thank you for your continued support this year since founding Hair of the Dog🐕 🤗

Ted, a lovely sprocker and little sister Tiggy, a labradoodle (from the same household), are a delightful duo to groom. Ted opted for a short clip off, and Tiggy opted for just a wash and blow dry

Sweet little 'Bear', a very friendly jacket russell, who liked the smell of 'forest fruits', decided we try this shampoo this time. He loves his bath and deshed. A much softer, lighter coat, and a new slimmer look!
