About Groom at No1

My name is Millie, and my aim is to provide an individual service, tailored to each dog, in a calm and safe environment.

My love of dogs shows in the way I groom: I treat every dog that comes into my salon as if they were my own. I’ve had a love and understanding of animals from a young age, and in 2014 I decided to turn my passion into a career.

I gained my City & Guilds Level 3 certificate in Dog Grooming after three years working in commercial salons, and since qualifying I’ve successfully managed two grooming salons.

I’m always learning and developing with every dog I meet. I also hold a City & Guilds Level 3 Diploma in Animal Care and Management, which has given me extensive knowledge of animal handling, behaviour, and maintaining the health and welfare of all animals.

My experience, knowledge and genuine love of animals let me create a safe, calm and happy environment for your pets while they’re in my care.

It turns out there’s a long history of Beddoes grooming dogs. Read the story.

Why choose Groom at No1

Attention to detail

I’ll listen to your grooming requirements and make sure your dog is groomed to a high standard that suits their lifestyle and yours. No dog is too big or too small; I plan each appointment so there’s time to meet your expectations.

Expertise

I can carry out all breed-standard grooms, show cuts and pet trims. I particularly enjoy bringing out each dog’s individual character, as every dog is unique. My years of experience mean I can groom confidently, even for the most challenging dogs.

Dogs come first

All appointments are booked in advance and one to one. While your dog is with me they have my undivided attention (with time for breaks and cuddles). I allow extra time for nervous dogs and those lacking confidence, and I always put a dog’s welfare over vanity.

Equipment

The salon is designed to be calm and relaxing. It’s fully air-conditioned to keep your dog comfortable and built with materials that ensure the highest level of hygiene. I only use quality equipment and products, and the hydro-bath’s powerful jets gently massage your dog, leaving them sparkling clean.

The benefits of grooming your dog

Health: Grooming makes it easier to spot health problems such as parasites and skin disorders before they become serious.
Coat: Regular brushing stimulates the oil-producing glands in your dog’s skin and increases blood flow to the hair follicles, improving overall skin condition.
Behaviour: Being groomed gets your dog used to being handled and touched, which makes vet checks and emergencies much easier.
Hygiene: Regular grooming keeps eyes, ears and mouth clean and less likely to get infections. Keeping nails at a healthy length prevents discomfort and injury.
Comfort: Regular grooming prevents matting, which pulls on the skin and can be painful for your dog.
Lifestyle: Grooming keeps the coat at a length and condition to suit your dog’s lifestyle and your own.
Appearance: Grooming removes dirt, dander and parasites. Removing dander encourages healthy hair growth, keeping the coat looking and smelling lovely.
Condition: Each groom is a chance for me to check for changes in behaviour, posture or temperament that could mean your dog is in pain or unwell.
