This is the harsh reality of when we have a no show…

❌we loose out on revenue

❌we loose a slot for other clients

❌we still have electricity to pay

❌still paying wages to the team that makes the magic
happen

We really appreciate when people turn up to allocated appointments and also when we are informed 48hrs before appointments clients can’t attend to.
We are understanding with personal circumstances.
We will be enforcing the cancellation and flea policy in 2026 as we have been very lenient!!!

Thank you to everyone who supports the business we really appreciate it and are excited for the years to come, love from the short bark and sides team!🩵

Where it all began

Short, Bark & Sides was first established in 2014.

I grew up in my family home where I found my first best friend Charlie, My parents White Miniature Poodle. They routinely had Charlie groomed at a local groomers. I use to love going with my parents to collect him and I would be absolutely besotted by all the beautifully groomed dogs in the parlour, I would want to spend hours in there petting them all. But obviously that wasn't allowed... I remember thinking of how id love to be able to have that job one day, spending all day with the animals I adore, making them feel and look as beautiful on the outside as they make me feel on the inside. So I grew up and I went to college to train as a dog groomer And that is where Short Bark & Sides all started in April 2014. I had 4 very successful years in an office converted salon above my parents business. Unfortunately in 2018 I left the salon to take some time out for myself and sadly left some of my most loyal clients behind. Now presently in 2019 I am back in a better place with a bigger location and I am very excited to see what the future holds for Short, Bark & Sides. I now live with my own best friend, Midas a little miniature pinscher and two miniature poodles Barney & Buddy. I would be over the moon to see some familiar wet noses and waggy tails. Thanks for reading, Emily x
