for Slaithwaite dogsDog groomer & boarder in Slaithwaite
If you live in Slaithwaite, you’re about 11 miles west of Clayton West, where I groom, board and walk dogs.
Slaithwaite is a Colne Valley settlement in Kirklees, on the Huddersfield Narrow Canal about 8 km south-west of Huddersfield. Slaithwaite is a bit of a drive, but 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.
