“The night before our appointment we brought him home, covered in dreadlocked mats and grass seeds tangled all through his fur. He could hardly sit down comfortably, let alone play. When you heard his story, you gave up your own free time to fit us in the very same day. Your kindness, empathy, and wonderful sense of humour shone through, and you treated Freddie with such patience and care.”
“As a dog guardian with a reactive, anxious dog it’s so hard to find groomers that can accommodate Frank. He needs to be alone and with someone that is calm and sensitive, Tracy is just that. It was my first time using her as we’ve just moved to the area but she was lovely and listened to what Frank needed in terms of how to handle him and made sure she understood what I wanted from the cut.”
“My golden retriever was a matted mess and hates the the groomers, but he jumped into her van and didn’t want her to leave!!she was so kind and gentle with him and he came out smelling divine! A brilliant idea to have my dog groomed in my doorstep as I could keep popping in to reassure him”
“Tracy always turns up on time and does a fantastic job. I am an over protective dog mum and Tracy always lets me stay with my dog and explains what she is doing. My dog was previously very nervous at the groomers but she gets so excited to see Tracy and runs to jump in the van every time!”
“Thank you to Tracy for grooming my 1 year old cocker spaniel, Forest. She gets lots of special attention, treats and cuddles and always jumps into the van now she is used to it”
“Fraggle loved his groom and looks so smart! He doesn't normally like being washed but somehow Tracy charmed him and he was crying when she left!”
