Our vet reported the following: groom on Friday, very close shave over testicles and prepuce. Prepucial discharged started over the weekend. Superficial linear wound/scab along prepuce. Scrotum is very red. Inflammation of skin over scrotum. Prepucial infection. We hope the dog will recover soon, but he showing signs of anxiety in additon to the pain and discomfort. Think about it before leaving your dog with this people. I also query how the managed to keep a large dog quite while his skin was being cut and he was bleeding. Unless of course they used sedation, but I will never find out the truth on this.

I think the idea of kennels is fine for dogs, but cats are more lone wolf than the actual ancestor of the wolf... so this was the perfect solution. The first time we booked with them Louise the founder came round to meet us and the cats, answer any questions we had, and allay any fears. You then choose the number of visits and what sort of time (morning/evening) you have your pet 'sat', or dog walked, fed etc. They spend a good amount of time with your pet, playing with it, feeding it, making sure there are no problems. They even water your plants and leave a little diary so you know how your cat/dog/a.n.other has been while you've been away. We even came home to a pint of milk. I honestly can't praise this company enough, I really can't. Absolutely trustworthy and worth every single penny!!!

We were concerned about the house security (we had just been burgled!) and worried that Lucy our cat would be really lonely and not want to leave the house as mostly likes to go in the garden when we are around. How impressed we were upon our return. Far from being upset and hiding in the house, Lucy wasn't even home! It was 1am but we had to wait over an hour before she came trotting home from her jaunts! She was overjoyed to see us but she was as plump as ever (unlike her return from the cattery) and showed no signs of stress. The notes left by the visitors were detailed and reassuring and showed the level of care that we had hoped for. It also showed the security measures that had been taken on the house. And, the pint of fresh milk in the fridge was a wonderful touch!! Thank you

London Doggies recently opened up a dog-grooming division in their company. I sent my…read moreBouvier-des-Flandres (a fancy name for a Belgian Cow-herder) there to try them out. I've been living with said Bouvier, Stella, in London for four years now and I've never managed to find a groomer who grooms her the way a Bouvier ought to be groomed. London Doggies has, undoubtably, given her the best groom she's ever had here. I keep looking at her and finding more little bits that I love: the feet! the ears! the bum! She's got her Groove back, and me: I've got my Bouv back. She looks amazing. She smells divine. She feels as soft as cashmere. Seriously. And the best bit: they picked her up and dropped her off. Bliss!

My dog likes to look fresh…read more Haha, not really. If it were up to her she'd let herself resemble Pigpen, would roll around in dirt and feces, and would generally look like she'd just been through a forage in the forest. However, as an apartment dog...this is not acceptable. She is a shorthaired lady, so she doesn't need the particular cut, but every few months she does need a deep down brushing, scrub and nail trim (something about trimming another beings nails terrifies me)...and thus we search for her spa. Easier said than done in East London! But I finally found Groom Dog City and I am quite pleased with the output. It's in a little shop near Haggerston/Columbia Market, they took my appointment quickly, the staff was very nice (both the owner and the assistant), and 45 minutes later I returned and was gifted back a dog that looked to be much cleaner and about 4 bales of hair lighter. Win. Reasonably priced too! For the works on my type of dog (again, no cutting/trimming required) for bath, eyes, ears, nails, brushdown -- about £25. I also left a tip because I have to believe this is thankless work giving spa treatments to animals who do not wish to be pampered. If they only knew! They even returned her to me with a little bow. I'll be visiting again next time she starts to resemble a vagabond... *appointments easily made online (he called me back right away). *there are a few shop dogs, word to the wise. I mentioned my dog wasn't so nice with other dogs she doesn't know, and they easily blocked them off. I'm sure my dog was still a nervous wreck, but there is a price to beauty and to coexisting with humans, Tillie.
