❗❗❗PRICE INCREASE ❗❗❗

Firstly I would like to thank all of my clients for your unconditional support over the years.

Unfortunately due to increased operating costs and the current financial climate, it has become necessary to increase the price of all grooming packages.

This will help me ensure that I can continue to give you the highest standard of care, service and highest quality of products you and your dogs deserve.

All the dogs I work with have their own individual needs. Some dogs take much longer to groom than others due to their size, condition of coat/skin, age, health conditions and behaviour. Therefore, each dog will be individually priced taking all of the above into consideration.

My new pricing structure will be effective from 5th May 2026 in order to give you all plenty of notice. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me.

I appreciate your understanding and I thank you for choosing Aldiazik Happy Hounds for your pets grooming needs.

Many thanks

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this month's collection for the dogs at Maxi's Mates Rescue & Rehoming Centre, Dunsdale. Dexter was so excited to see what was in the trolley, so much so the duvets ended up on the floor! 🫣😁❤️

My next visit will be Sunday 19th April should anyone have anything to donate nearer to that date.

Thanks again to....

One of the many success stories has reached the newspaper of how OxyPet has improved the life of a much loved Bulldog called George ☺️

If you have or know of anyone who has a Brachycephalic breed like George, please read and share the article below 🙏🏻💖🐾
