At Canine Manor, we’re always looking for ways to care for your dogs with the same warmth and professionalism you expect from us. We’re excited to explore adding premium overnight kennels in Aviemore — and we’d love your input! Your feedback will help us design a service that truly meets the...

Hello!! Just a wee post to say that from today I will be implementing a matting charge. This will be applied to any groom that requires me to shave due to matting on the dogs body. This charge is due to the toll shaving has on my blades leading to me needing more frequent sharpening services, these are not only costly but limit the amount of work I can take on while my blades are away. I hope you can all understand ❤️❤️

P.S I still have scattered availability before I am away on holiday so pop me a message if you’re needing your pup in and we can get it booked asap! 🥰💕

Hello my lovelies 🥰 just a wee message to say that I will be on holiday for the month of November!
I will start making my way through my client list to offer appointments in advance for the remainder of the year so that everything flows as smoothly as possible!

Also to give a wee update on me, as most of you know I have been very poorly over the past two months with kidney infections. Well, the whole cause of these were a kidney stone in my left kidney. I am thankfully heading to Edinburgh hospital next week to have it delt with! Please bear with me over the next week or so as I may be a little tender and not as able as I usually am to fit all the pups in!❤️❤️❤️

Hello, just a quick update on me and why I've been so bad at replying!! I haven't been too well recently and I am currently up in Raigmore hospital with a wee kidney infection.

Please bear with me in regards to answering messages and phone calls. I will absolutely get back to everyone as soon as I'm on the mend!

Lots of love and fluffy hugs to you all, and I hope we're all enjoying the weather sensibly

Meet the team 🥰
As small as the team here at Canine Manor is, I thought it best we introduce ourselves!

Hi, I’m Kayla – the dog-obsessed dreamer behind Canine Manor! And my dog Athena 💜

Raised in Aviemore, I spent years working in the town’s beloved cafés and restaurants before chasing my true passion: dogs. That journey took me all the way to Cheshire, where I earned my Dog Grooming Diploma and returned home with a mission.

I launched my first business, Ruff Cuts, from my mum’s front room – a cozy little grooming space filled with love and wagging tails. After three amazing years, an unexpected opportunity came barking at my door: the chance to take over the old Dell Farm offices on Rothiemurchus.

With the support of my incredible partner, we packed up our tiny flat and poured our hearts into transforming the space into something truly special – the area’s very first doggie daycare.

It’s been a year of hard work, hurdles, and a whole lot of dog hair, but we’ve finally made it. Canine Manor is more than a business – it’s our home, and a haven for pups and their people.

Welcome to the pack! 🐶💛

Hello to all my lovely clients past, present and future!

I know it's been a while...
I wanted to come on here to put out a massive apology for not being as present on socials or messages. I have gone through a wee bit of a tough time with stress and anxiety in the past few months but I'm getting back into the groove of things and wanted to be upfront an honest with you all on why I've not been active!

I also want to say a massive thanks to everyone for bearing with me moving appointments around! This has been a big help in letting me organise and wrap my head round being so busy!

As many of you know I took on the big job of renovating an old office building on Rothiemurchus estate earlier this year to start up a dream of mine doggie daycare alongside grooming. This hasn't come easy and there have definitely been a few bumps in the road! Probably the cause of majority of the stress 😬😅. Things are finally starting to look like they are moving in the right direction with licencing and a new opening date just around the corner!
Stay tuned to find out more about this!

To get myself back into the swing of things and to make sure everyone was kept in the loop I'll be posting up new opening times for the salon and a quick overview of availability in my next post 🥰
If you would like to get booked in for Dec/Christmas and new year please get in touch ASAP as my diary is already filling up fast!!
