The team
Bethan started in a converted garage in Boverton and opened on Boverton Road in 2016. Rhys takes the big dogs, Nia takes the cats and the nervous ones. Between them, every coat in the Vale, done slowly.
Owner, City & Guilds Level 3
Bethan groomed from a converted garage in Boverton for four years before opening on Boverton Road in 2016. Hand stripping is her thing: terriers, cockers and the odd Airedale come from across the Vale for it. She also does the nervous dogs and the puppy sessions.
Groomer, big dogs and double coats
Rhys joined in 2019 from a kennels in Bridgend and takes the large and giant dogs: retrievers, doodles, Newfoundlands, and the collie he brings to work. If your dog sheds for a living, he is the one with the de-shed rake.
Groomer, cats and nervous dogs
Nia is Fear Free certified and did the feline grooming course in 2022. She grooms cats on Wednesday mornings when the salon is quiet, and takes the dogs who need the slow room: the old, the deaf, the rescues and the ones who have been frightened somewhere else.
How we work
The same groomer bathes, dries and finishes your dog. No handing a wet dog to whoever is free, no cage dryers.
Most grooms take two to three hours. We ring when your dog is done and ask you to be here within half an hour, so nobody sits in a crate all afternoon.
Size and coat set the price and it is on the website. The only extras are matting by time and the add-ons you choose.
Shorter sessions, non-slip tables, a quiet room with no dryers running, and a groomer who will stop if your dog has had enough.
Tell us the breed, the size and what you would like, and we confirm a slot by text within a working day. Nervous dog, first groom or a cat: say so and we book the quiet room.
