About Francesca and Pride & Groom

My name is Francesca and I have always been passionate about animal care in particular dogs. This is why I established Pride and Groom. Having had longhaired dogs all my life I understand the importance of having a dog groomer you trust and who understands what each family requires from a dog groom, encompassing both show dogs and pets.

I studied with Denise Westbrook, a member of Groom Team England. Through that study I achieved my City & Guild level three qualification, which not only covers grooming techniques but also health and welfare. I am different from other groomers as I offer an exclusive one on one service with no caging involved. This minimises dog stress and allows them to form a bond with one dog groomer. Which I feel is vital inorder for the dogs to have the most enjoyable experience.

Having had experience with dogs with skin sensitivities and allergies, arthritis, diabetes as well as elderly dogs. I am more than happy to accommodate any and all issues your dog may have and ensure their comfort is my top priority. My salon is designed to accomidate all dogs with varying health and mobility. Nothing gives me greater pleasure than sending a happy calm dog home with happy owners.

At Pride and Groom we use high quality products to get the best quality finish for your dog. Offering not only breed standard trims but also pet trims. We pride ourselves on being able to adapt trims to suit your needs and will be happy to discuss this at a free consultation. Our aim is to provide the best care and treatment for your dog.
