My almost 13 year old cockapoo, Rufus, had always disliked but coped with conventional grooming methods until 3 or so years ago when he became increasingly stressed by each visit to the groomers. He would take the entire day to de-stress after a groom and panic on walks if we headed in the direction of his groomer's. A google search thankfully led me in the direction of Vanessa and we have never looked back!From our initial meet and treat session, Vanessa took the time to get to know Rufus and it was clear he was very happy and relaxed in her company. The pawlour and sensory garden are such a calm and relaxing space, perfect for dogs like Rufus who are overwhelmed by the restraints of traditional grooming parlours. As a senior boy, Rufus has lots of lumps and bumps and skin concerns, Vanessa is always very attentive to his needs and goes at a pace he is comfortable with. Her holistic techniques have had such a positive impact on his grooming experience. He always looks beautiful after a groom but most importantly he always looks so content in her company when I come to collect him, sitting on her lap gazing lovingly in to her eyes to be precise!Could not recommend more highly!
