looking for a dog groomer urgently!

[brennan]

anyone know of a local or mobile dog groomer?

[giggirl]

I think there is one on Bellenden Road. Never used it but have passed by.

Dog about town on Bellenden Road is very good. 196 Bellenden Rd SE15 4BW 020 7358 9709

[Take Note]

Some dogs I know get quite stressed in Dog About Town in Bellenden Rd. And some people say they are 'groomers' when in fact they just clip the fur (sometimes with disastrous consequences.)

My friend had her cocker spaniel done yesterday and she looks stunning and has been groomed to look as she should.

Louise Hildreth is in Herne Hill: 0207 346 8515 / 07709 377192

Try Hair of the Dog in Thornton Heath. Bit further away but she fitted us in very quickly, was lovely to our dog, and did a great job. Most groomers told us we'd have to wait over 2 weeks but this one fitted us in within 2 days

Brennan - what sort of dog is it and what do you need doing? I think that Dog About Town is pretty professional but I would not send a sensitive dog there.

Unfortunately I have to take back the recommendation I posted below, after a recent bad experience of her looking after our dog and him coming back very very ill, blood in stools, he was sick, dehydrated And suffered for days after he was returned with no explanation. Costly vet bills. No more weekends away for us!

I second Take Note, Louise Hildreth is amazing. She's looked after my Spaniel whilst we have been on holiday, she is also a dog walker. My dog always comes back much better behaved after a stay! Just booked our dog in for a groom on Thursday and I know she was struggling with availability so may not suit your urgent needs, but give her a buzz anyway.

Dog about Town is fabulous. Have been using it for 6+ years and have no complaints. My bichon is very sensitive but has settled there very well. Would have no hesitation recommending it.

Has anyone tried Bentley's? Was thinking of taking my dog there

Michelle at Bentleys is fantastic. She only uses organic products and is a lovely, caring person who clearly adores dogs.

wow! thank you everyone. Just thought I would let you all know that I went to dog about town cos hadn't seen all these replies and have to say was a bit shocked. All the dogs were barking frantically and I don't think she enjoyed it very much. She is also a King Charles Cavalier and now looks more like a Poodle. Oops! will try louise or Bentleys next time I think.

Brennan - any chance you could post a picture after she had a haircut

Brennan,

Karen at snip doggy dog is the local favourite and a tip top groomer. She is really good and knows her stuff and has been in the business a long time.

07790660885 for Karen!

Second that for Karen Snip Doggy Dog she has been grooming my dog for four years def knows what she is doing.

[edek]

I would never recommend Dog about town, awful man, awful service, terrified and scarred dog. Do NOT go there. Michelle at BENTLEYS now only does Mondays in brockley.... Karen isn't too bad!

[jaih1]

Odile at Mutterly Gorgeous is very good

I would also recommend Michelle at Bentleys she does a great job with my Glen who is slight unusual.

[newboots]

I don't have a dog but me and my children just love looking at the photos on the Bentleys website, so big thanks to whoever posted the link.

Well, I thought Steven at Bellenden Road was just great .. Today he gave my Sealyham puppy her first haircut, she was confident and comfortable with him - and she looks terrific. 10 out of 10.. We will be regulars.

[2on2walkies]

Yes definitely recommend Karen at snip doggy dog, tip top groomer. She's been gromming my dogs for over 20years and she is really good, knows her stuff and has been in the business a long time. 07790660885 for Karen!
