Hello, I'm Claire

Meet Your Professional Dog Groomer

Hi, I'm Claire, owner of Cockapoo Cottage & Friends.

Like many dog owners, I know how overwhelming coat care can feel. When I welcomed my first Cockapoo, Chester, into my life, I quickly discovered that keeping his coat healthy and mat-free wasn't always as straightforward as I expected.

Between conflicting advice, endless grooming tools, and the worry of accidentally causing discomfort, I often found myself wondering if I was doing the right thing.

Perhaps you've experienced something similar. You want the best for your dog, but brushing can become a struggle. Mats seem to appear overnight, your dog won't sit still, and before long you're facing an expensive grooming appointment to fix a problem that felt impossible to prevent.

Many owners try brushing more often, buying different brushes, watching online videos, or simply avoiding difficult areas altogether. Unfortunately, without understanding the right techniques for your dog's coat type, these approaches can still leave you feeling frustrated and your dog feeling uncomfortable.

That's exactly why I've created this guide.

After more than 25 years as a Holistic Therapist and Skincare Specialist, followed by running my own successful pet care business, I chose to pursue my passion for dogs professionally. Today, as a qualified Level 3 Dog Groomer with additional certifications in Canine First Aid, Canine Massage, and Ultra Sound Canine Dental Cleaning, I help owners understand how simple grooming techniques can make a huge difference to their dog's comfort and wellbeing.

My goal is to give you the confidence, knowledge, and practical steps needed to make brushing a calm, positive experience for both you and your dog.
