At The Grooming Shed, I am focused on providing professional dog grooming services on the Isle of Wight for all breeds of dog, from small to large and anything else in between. I currently hold a City and Guilds Level 2, however I am constantly updating my skills and regularly attend seminars. It brings me a great deal of satisfaction and I pride myself on ensuring that each dog is brought into a calm environment that minimises stress for them. For me, safety of the dog is paramount. I provide advice and a free pre-consultation- whether you’re after just a nail trim or a complete groom, no job is too big or too small. Included in a full groom is bathing, drying, clipping and styling, and nails. There’s plenty of room to drop your dog off, off the road, as you leave them for their pamper session.
