“Rossy DRAGS me to Scamps, knows the word "groomers" and cries, jumps and barks the whole way. He's a funny old sock but clearly loves the girls. The cut is always smart, and he smells so nice after”
“I was having to take my dog to the vet's to have him put under just to get his nails done. I made the decision to go to Scamps & they're great with him. He's still not happy having his nails done & he doesn't make it easy for them but he always walks out tail wagging. Highly recommend”
“Very friendly and welcoming team! My dog is nervous and struggles with new dogs and people but seems perfectly fine here. They groom him very well and we're always happy with the result whether we get him cut very short for summer or longer for the winter.”
“I was immediately put at ease by how friendly and welcoming the staff were. Leaving your dog with someone new can be a bit daunting, but they made me feel completely comfortable right from the start. … They deshedded my husky cross better than any other groomer I've ever visited.”
“First visit as my dog is a rescue and have no knowledge of previous grooming,very impressed with the cleanliness and hygiene standards.Ladies were very courteous,and on leaving I immediately knew she was under their safe care. I picked Skye up and was very impressed with her grooming..”
“Arnold loves his haircuts! … Always a very welcoming team and you can tell they love your pets and want to look after them. Thanks for 9+ years of fabulous hair cuts!!”
