for Ossett dogsDog groomer, walker & boarder in Ossett
If you live in Ossett, you’re about 6 miles north of Clayton West, where I groom, board and walk dogs.
A market and residential town in West Yorkshire, lying between Dewsbury, Horbury and Wakefield. That puts Ossett 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.
