This is the first time I have taken my dogs for grooming- I have 2 border collies, farm dogs, not very well socialised and their coats were filthy and matted after winter. I chose Dirty Dogs because they were close to the hills and I was not disappointed. I stuck around while they were washed and brushed, since I wasn't sure how they'd handle the experience. One had to be shaved her mats were so extensive, so it was a fairly involved job. They were so sweet with my nervous dogs. All the women who worked there were super nice- it is obvious that they genuinely like the animals they are looking after. And all the dogs who were cruising around the shop seemed to be having a great time, a little dog party in there! I don't know how expensive grooming should be, but it seemed like a fair price for the amount of work they did. And my dogs look and smell beautiful. I'll definitely be back. read more
