Dog Groomer in Battle, East Sussex
OUR LOCATION
Welcome to Cockapoo Cottage & Friends in Battle
Where your dog will enjoy grooming in a beautiful, cosy cottage-style cabin, nestled peacefully within my garden.
Designed to feel calm, welcoming, and relaxing, it's a quiet space where your dog can feel safe and comfortable away from the hustle and bustle of a busy salon.
Unlike larger grooming salons, I offer a gentle one-to-one grooming experience with no noisy waiting areas or multiple dogs being groomed at the same time.
Soft spa music, a peaceful atmosphere, and plenty of patience to help every dog settle in and enjoy a stress-free grooming experience at their own pace.
My aim is for every dog to leave not only looking beautiful, but also feeling happy, relaxed, and cared for. From playful puppies to nervous or elderly dogs, every groom is carried out with kindness, compassion, and the individual attention your dog deserves.
MORE ABOUT CLAIRE
With my background as a therapist, creating a calm, peaceful, and stress-free grooming experience comes very naturally to me. I believe every dog deserves patience, kindness, gentle handling, and individual care — especially elderly, or anxious dogs who may need extra reassurance and time to relax.
At Cockapoo Cottage & Friends, every grooming session is centred around your dog’s comfort, happiness, and overall wellbeing.
HYGIENE & SAFETY
Maintaining exceptional salon hygiene and cleanliness is extremely important to me. All grooming equipment is thoroughly cleaned and sterilised before every appointment to ensure a safe, clean, and hygienic environment for every dog.
At Cockapoo Cottage & Friends, your dog’s physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing will always be my highest priority.
I bring years of genuine passion, patience, and compassionate care to every grooming appointment, ensuring each dog feels safe, relaxed, and truly cared for throughout their visit.
