About Katie's Pet Services

How we work

We groom one pet at a time. That sounds like a small thing and it changes everything — no queue building up behind your dog, no rushing to finish, and the person grooming them gives them the whole appointment rather than a share of it.

It's why we tend to do well with the pets other salons find difficult. Nervous dogs, older dogs, rescues, and anyone who has had a bad experience somewhere busier. Tell us when you book and we'll allow the extra time rather than trying to make it up later.

You get a photo and a report after every appointment, so you know how they actually got on instead of guessing from their mood in the car.

Cats, properly

Most salons are built around dogs, and a cat brought into that is stressed before anyone touches them. We groom cats every Saturday afternoon, once the dog appointments have finished for the day, and on weekday evenings by appointment only. No dogs being groomed at the same time, either way.

That includes a full groom with dry shampoo for cats who genuinely will not tolerate being wet — which is a good many of them. More on cat grooming.

Honest about what's achievable

We would rather tell you something you don't want to hear than take your money and disappoint you. If a coat is matted close to the skin, dematting it means hours of pulling on the skin and that is not fair on the dog — a short clip and a fresh start is the kinder answer, and we will say so before we begin rather than after.

Same with teeth. Our ultrasonic cleaning is maintenance, not veterinary dentistry. If your dog needs a vet dental we will tell you, and we would rather you spent the money there.

Katie

Owner and Groomer

Katie founded Katie’s Pet Services after turning her lifelong love of animals into a career in pet grooming. Since opening the salon on Coningsby High Street, she has built the business around providing friendly, reliable service, high-quality grooming and genuine value for money. Katie grooms both dogs and cats and particularly enjoys getting to know the pets and owners who return to the salon time and time again. She is incredibly proud of the team and of how the business has grown, while still keeping the friendly, personal feel it had from the very beginning.
