“Beth is just fantastic. Our Luna girl loves her and spent a lovely Friday having a groom. She’s a husky so is very hairy and fluffy and Beth did such a good job with her hair.”
“Been looking for somewhere to get our dogs nails clipped because one of our Labradors is nervous. Bethan put them both at ease immediately. She obviously loves dogs and is calm and encouraging with them.”
“He was gently introduced to all the sounds and feelings, which led to a fantastic groom. Throughout the session, Beth was so informative and offered suggestions which helped immensely”
“From start to finish, Bethan is friendly, kind, caring and a delight to deal with. My dogs absolutely love her, especially my affenpinscher who doesn’t like everyone!”
“Considering we have had large dogs, this has never been an issue with Beth, on the contrary, she is so relaxed and confident with them. They have all come out looking and smelling lovely.”
“Beth was so kind and patient with him even though he’s a bit of a wild child! He came out wagging his tail and trying to give Beth all the kisses he could before we left! He smells and looks wonderful!”
