Happy 5 years to Short, Bark ‘n’ Sides! 🎈

Thank you to all for supporting my small business and helping me grow. 5 years ago, I didn’t think I would be in the position I am now, with all my wonderful clients, I see on a regular basis that keep me so busy.😊

I wouldn’t be where I am today without you and your furry friends!🐾

Hi all,

Hope you’re all well and enjoying the sun 😊

Just a reminder that the remaining of the year is filling up fast, especially the few weeks before Christmas.

Price Increase -

Unfortunately, to keep in line with inflation and cost of materials, I will be having to increase my prices between £1 and £4 across all services, starting from the 1st of September.

Thank you all for continuing to support my small business.

If there are any concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
