    Hi Craigels

    We have used them for our Lowchen. They will give an excellent cut. The photos on the Facebook site give you a good feel for the quality.

    Yep! I've been going to Fluffy Puppies for years, Noelle is brilliant with the dogs, so professional and the dogs love her! :D

    The Before and After photos are great.

    Scroll to the bottom of the screen on their Facebook page and you can see them.

    I would definately recommend Noelle from fluffy pups. She's the only groomer with a city and guilds qualification in Limerick.

    Bichon frise look amazing in the show cut :D

    Right Folks.

    Have cleaned up a few posts. I don't want to see anymore posts about how a friend/relative/work colleague said that groomer X did such and such a thing to their dog. I also don't want to see comments imploring others not to use Business A or Business B.

    Only comment from your own experiences with a groomer, and even then only do so if you are 100% willing to stand behind your comments. Just remember anything that you say online is as open to recourse as any other form of communication if untrue. This goes for both sides of any online debate/discussion. If people wish to go into detail, then I suggest they take it to pm where they can arrange to discuss their difference of opinions elsewhere.

    Anymore comments that cannot be substantiated will see folk getting a break from the forum.

    Due to a constant stream of reported posts, and the re-reporting of posts that posters edited themselves, I have removed all posts referring to one dog grooming service. But in the interest of fairness I have removed all reported posts that mentioned that business be they positive or negative.

    So from here on in order to avoid a stream of reported posts regarding that business any post naming that particular business will be deleted regardless of whether the review is positive or negative.

    Hey yea I'm happy enough she cut the his head a bit shorter then I would of liked... She also charged 40

    I will go back to to my original groomer Kelly in Westbury she really is brilliant and only charges me 10 for a full groom I'm glad I tried someone else but for Kellys price she really is excellent.

    Kinda shocked by only getting charged a tenner. 30-35 I would consider cheap and 40 pretty standard for a breed like a Bichon that would have an awful lot more work involved than say a Jack Rusell etc What between Wash/Dry/Clip/style/nails/ears/eyes/anal glands there's probably 2.5/3 hrs work involved
    so you regular groomers is could be working for only rougly 3.30 Euros an hour!!! WOW!
    [EDIT: only guessing on the time it takes but for a tenner for full groom is cheap]

    He is only 6 months so that's probably why I have been going to her since my dog was about 12 weeks old every 5 weeks she does everything and always puts a cute little neck tie of some sort on him she really is brilliant the only reason I tried else where was to see the difference... Everyone in the Westbury area goes too her.

    If you havent tried La Paws, try them - parents bring their shih-tzu there and are so happy with it. She even comes home with bows on her ears sometimes!
