Having arrived looking like a swamp creature, our pooch left Dogsbody looking like a hollywood starlet. Thank you so much for your care and attention.

My dog isn't a fan of the groomers so this was my first time here and I was a little anxious because I know he can be difficult having a groom. I went through everything with with team before hand and they reassured me they would make him feel comfortable. When I picked him up they said he loved it and enjoyed interacting with the other dogs there. He was jumping up and down playing with a toy (not like him after after groom). Thanks so much we will now be regulars.

My Labradoodle Red came out looking great as usual. I was very happy with new drop off and pick up taking into account social distancing. I felt safe and Reds looking gorgeous... Thanks. Five star plus experience.

Dylan has often stayed at the Dogsbody hotel both during the day and for overnight stays - often at short notice. We felt happy to leave him as he had all the love and attention he would get at home. Lots of long walks, friends to play with and the comfort of being in the family home. Upon collecting him we would get a full run down on his day. Once back home he would settle down into a sound sleep having had a busy, fun, safe and happy time. Thank you for taking care of our boy. We would definately recommend Dogsbody Hotel xx
