for Holmfirth dogsDog groomer, walker & boarder in Holmfirth
My studio is in Clayton West, about 7.5 miles east of Holmfirth.
A town in the Holme Valley, about 6 miles south of Huddersfield and 2 miles from the Peak District boundary. That puts Holmfirth 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.
