for Kirkheaton dogsDog groomer, walker & boarder in Kirkheaton
If you live in Kirkheaton, you’re about 6.6 miles north-west of Clayton West, where I groom, board and walk dogs.
A village in West Yorkshire about 3 miles north-east of Huddersfield, with a 2021 population of 3,496. That puts Kirkheaton 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.
