for Birstall dogsDog groomer, walker & boarder in Birstall
If you live in Birstall, you’re about 10 miles north of Clayton West, where I groom, board and walk dogs.
Birstall is a market and mill town in Kirklees, West Yorkshire, about 10 km south-west of Leeds. That puts Birstall within reach of my grooming, walking and home boarding, and dogs do travel for a groom or a stay. Hounds of Love is a small, personal service. Dogs from further afield come to Nanette’s garden studio in Clayton West for grooming and to stay at her home while their owners are away. It’s all done by one person, so your dog is the one getting the attention.
