My name is Mary and I am a dog groomer and pet carer - welcome to my Woof, Woof, meow wonderful world of Cat & Dog Grooming! Ever since I can remember I have had a love for animals. One of my earliest memories is one of cuddling up to my Great Dane, Mandy, when I was very young and playing with our cats.
My mother was a great guiding influence. She had a big heart for all animals and there always seemed to be a new member to our animal family. It was my mother who taught me to love and respect all animals and how to look after their needs. Well you may say to yourself that sounds nice, but why should I bring my precious cat or dog to Poochy Woochy to be groomed?

Services
Did you know I give free Puppy Consultations? As soon as puppy has had all his/her vaccinations and the vet has said that it's fine to socialise, make a free 30 minute appointment with me. I will be able to give you lots of info about the best way to groom your puppy and hints and tips to help you both, between grooms.
This is a photo of my grooming room, built to my own design to help all my dog and cat visitors to be happy, comfortable and relaxed here at Poochy Woochy. I also only have one-to-one appointments, so no dogs are left in cages waiting to be groomed or to be collected by their mums or dads. This also enables me to give each visitor 100% of my attention.
Do you wish to go away on holiday, but are worried about leaving your pets? If so, then our pet sitting service may just be the ideal solution for you! We can visit your home and ensure that your pets are fed, watered and toileted. Any changing of litter trays or the cleaning out of cages would also be taken care of and the cat let in/out if required.
Well the answer is simple. First I decided to study dog behaviourism to help dogs when they were being groomed. As I have found sometimes dogs can have had bad grooming experiences in the past which makes it very difficult to groom them afterward because they have learned to fear being groomed.
My training and experience has enabled me to understanding dogs and to calm them, help overcome their fears and build their confidence hopefully to enjoy being groomed.I then later decided to go further into dog behaviourism and the understanding of dog's needs. This enabled me to help customers who were asking me if I knew how to help them with varying issues.

A. In my experience it is far better, safer, more relaxed and calm if the customer lets me groom their pet without them there. This enables me to bond with their pet, give 100% attention to the groom without any distractions and makes it an all-around more positive experience for pet and owner. As sometimes it can be stressful taking your beloved cat or dog to the groomers.

We had a matt in our long haired cats fur, poochy woochy was very happy to help at such short notice. Our cat is now so much happier. Again, thank you so much. I would highly recommend. We' was also given advice on how to maintain her fur which is really helpful.

Mary was an absolute sweetheart when meeting our little pup for the first time.So gentle and caring and certainly puts your pets feelings first.Hattie ( our pooch) was calm throughout her first pamper session.I highly recommend this lovely lady and Hattie also loved her and even whimpered for her when she briefly left so she could show me which type of collar I should be using.10/10 for a wonderful experience.🐾🐾

I can’t thank Mary enough for her work on Sandy today absolutely amazing so pleased. With lockdown I’d only managed to get him groomed last October so he was a mess even though he was brushed daily twigs in his fur leaves etc and Mary cut him right back for summer for me. Sandy wanted to go back to the grooming room with her so that shows me how much he trusts Mary and that made me feel so good. Thank you Mary

What a fantastic lady MARY is. I have a very nervous very long haired cat who had been quite ill so couldn’t groom himself as much as usual and wouldn’t let me groom him. He had a lot of matted pieces of fur which needed removing. I took quite a while to choose the right person based on good reviews and Mary was perfect. Not only was she professional, she made sure Bailey was comfortable, would stop and give him a pet when he became agitated and was an overall star. I can’t recommend her highly enough. I drove nearly 30 miles each way and it was worth every minute. I even learnt a few things
