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.
