I don't actually have a dog. But I know a lot of people that do. Some dogs are obviously more prone…read moreto grooming needs than others. People are like that too. So if you have a dog that has that fashion-conscious bent then many of my neighbours and dog-owning friends use and recommend this dog grooming service. They'll happily take dogs large and small, give them a good shampoo, or dry, or trim. Two poodles I know, who like to visit my garden, are very smart (in the looks department) after a visit to the groomers. I haven't smelt them close up but I expect an agreeable fragrance akin to summer meadows - or perhaps they get that from my garden.

My dog always comes out looking & smelling beautiful, and he struts his stuff. Would always recommend to others.

My hound isn't keen on being bathed, but most of the time she stands very nicely and lets me wash…read moreher without trying to run away. I always wash and groom her myself, because she's a low maintenance kind-of-a-girl, but obviously the same can't be said for some longer-haired breeds. My friend took her ridiculously woolly Old England Sheepdog Max here for its first professional cut and groom when it was barely out of puppyhood, and she was full of trepidation in case he hated being bathed, and developed a grooming phobia - which would be disastrous with such a furry breed. Perfect Paws groom any size and any breed, and cut and style them according to their owner's preference. Prices vary according to the dog, but are in line with other similar services in the local area. Fortunately, Max didn't seem to mind being groomed and was very bouncy afterwards, as if he was rather pleased with himself - I think he could see better without his overgrown fringe getting in the way...

When my dog decides to wallow like a pig in a pool full of mud I just shampoo her myself, and dry…read moreher off with a towel - and being a greyhound she's pretty clean and low maintenance, with a very short coat. My friend, on the other hand, has a far higher maintenance pedigree pooch which she sends off to Clare at Shampooch Groomers in Whitchurch fairly regularly. They'll pick up your dog in their adapted van, and their services are council approved. They are well equipped with a workshop space fitted out specifically for the purpose of dog grooming, and they also offer doggie day care and longer home boarding for when owners go on holiday. They can groom to breed standards (for those, unlike me, who have pedigrees) and to your own preferences (for example some people prefer their dogs to keep their feathering, whilst others prefer to remove it to prevent matting!). It costs my friend about £26 for her dog to be bathed, brushed, clipped and have her nails trimmed, and she's always been very happy with the results.

I don't like all dogs, I'm a bit fussy. It isn't really down to how well they are groomed, but how…read moreplacid they are. I like big, quiet, soft dogs.

My cockapoo Rowan has been groomed by Catherine or Susie at doggy venturers approximately every 7…read moreweeks for the last 11/2 years. He definitely isn't a fan of being groomed at home but loves being with Catherine and Susie and always comes out looking handsome and chilled. They are both really lovely and do a great job of listening to what I would like, giving advice and taking brilliant care of Rowan whilst grooming him. This is such a relief for me as he has struggled in the past. I would highly recommend Doggy Venturers to any dog owners. They are skilled kind people who love dogs

I…read morehave a wonderful year old bitch, from a previous litter and she is just the most amazing Rottie going! Her temperament is second to none and her markings are perfect, thanks to such wonderful parents. Sumo, the super stud, provided her with the calmest personality and Tyler can be credited with her stunning features. I have never seen a Rottweiler receive so many compliments before, and I have had Rottweilers for many years, and this little girl is very special! Poppy puts a smile on everyones face and has certainly changed previously dog wary people's opinions on larger dogs. This bundle of joy is extra special thanks to the careful breeding at Glennvine Rottweilers!

Pets Go Walkies is the dog walking and pet sitting business of Kari, set up in 2007, and based in…read moreEast Central Cardiff. Before setting up her business, she took in various pets for friends, family and neighbours when they went on holiday, and volunteered at The Cinnamon Trust which involved walking dogs in Cardiff as well as pet sitting cats. She set up Pets Go Walkies to offer people an alternative to traditional kennels and catteries, which many pets find stressful, and to offer a dog walking service to owners working full days and needing someone to drop in to exercise their pet. Kari is obviously interested in animal behaviour and training, and even has some helpful resources on her website to help pet owners with training and socialisation. She can usually cover the following areas: Splott, Adamsdown, Tremorfa, Pengam Green, Roath, Penylan, Trowbridge, Llanrumney, Rumney, St Mellons, Pentwyn, Llanederyn, Cyncoed, Cathays, Gabalfa, Maindy, Blackweir, Heath, Rhiwbina, Birchgrove, Canton, Victoria Park, Fairwater, Llandaff, Pontcanna, Blackwater, Whitchurch, Grangetown, Riverside, Butetown, Cardiff Bay and Penarth.

My first was a fish named Flipper who lived for 10 years, which isn't bad for a goldfish. I also grew up with rabbits, 2 tortoises, budgies, hamsters and guinea pigs and we also inherited my grandma's toy poodle, Pim, who was rather misbehaved but lots of fun to be with for an 8 year old.' She's had many pets since then, including cats Monty and Sox. Kari has spent time studying the care of dogs, cats and small pets, pet first aid and dog training techniques as well as dog and cat behaviour. She wants to give your pets a happier time, whether offering dog walking services while you are working late on that project, or pet sitting while you are sunning yourself abroad. 'I knew it would be the best job ever, getting to meet & hang out with dogs & cats & other pets; what could be better?' The women is smitten with small creatures, she really is.
