“These two fabulous women take great care with my 2 fussy chihuahuas. One is nervous around people and the other is greatly reactive towards other dogs and FREAKS OUT at getting his nails cut! However, these 2 do a fantastic job. Their gentle, patient and get the job done brilliantly.”
“First time taking my 18 month old dog to the groomers and was a bit nervous how he would manage. However, both girls at the salon put me at ease, right from the initial phone enquiry (I called a few before I decided on this one). My pom / mongeral mix came out really happy and settled - looking and smelling fabulous. The location of the salon is really rural and pretty too.”
“The girls always do a really good job hand stripping my Border Terrier. He is very nervous at the groomers but they have worked with him to build up his confidence. I am so grateful for their patience and understanding with him.”
“My nearly 10 year old pooch went for his first groom with the two lovely young ladies at Quarmby. They were brilliant with him, as he can be a little on the grumpy side!. Ozzy was groomed exactly how we like him done. Came out looking fab.”
“Annie is nervous and both ladies were so patient and reassuring. We have finally found our groomers”
“My dogs love coming here. Holly and Lauren are excellent. I can't recommend them enough. So pleased we found you girls!”
