About Us
We are a great team of happy groomers who really care about our doggie clients. We love our chosen careers and can't imagine doing any other job!
At Three Poodles we treat every dog with love, respect and kindness. Many of our clients have been coming to us for over 10 years. We want your dog to leave feeling good on the inside as well as looking good on the outside. We always aim to do our very best for the dog and his/her owner. We take note of health, skin, teeth, lumps and bumps etc. and always let the owners know after the groom. We practise holistic grooming and massage and give extra attention to nervous dogs.
We all possess excellent handling skills which take time and experience to acquire. We are very confident with different breeds and all groom to a very high standard.
