Dog groomer, walker & boarder in Horbury

Horbury is about 5.1 miles north-east of my grooming studio in Clayton West.

A town on the River Calder, about 3 miles south-west of Wakefield. That puts Horbury 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.
