What people say

  • The only dog groomers that our bichon freese isn’t afraid of. She’s 8 years old now and has been loving it for a 6 years now. They absolutely listen when it comes to what type of cut we’d like for her and give recommendations on when to do what. We always feel welcome and most importantly Jessie comes out wagging her tail off!

  • I took our 7 month old Jack-Tzu puppy Betty to A-Z for her first groom, I’m really happy with the service. Emma went through everything with me what I’d like to be done and I’m very happy with the result. Very helpful and friendly staff.

  • We took our Saluki who was in desperate need of a tidy up to A-Z as our usual groomer is poorly. She was quite fluffy with her feathers overlong. We requested that the fluffy coat be removed and the feathers tidied up. The first time we went to collect her it didn’t look like she had been groomed at all but they were more than happy to do her again. We she was handed over the second time a complete hatchet job had been done to her chest, legs and feathers almost down to the skin. I was too shocked to say anything at the time and really what could I say, they had already been paid.

  • I took my dog to have his nails cut.. not an easy job for a 35kg of muscle as he hates it! I’ve tried so many times and even my vets couldn’t manage it. But these lovely ladies manage to do the job perfectly. He’s a happy boy now. We will see you soon…💕
