Meet Lovely Jess, an adorable Cockapoo, who joined us earlier this year after moving from our other salon. Though the closure of our previous location was beyond our control, we're thrilled to welcome Jess and all our wonderful clients to the original Smarty Paws.

With a combined experience of 44 years and extensive qualifications, you can trust that your furry friends are in the best hands!

A heartfelt thank you to all our loyal customers for your unwavering support and for keeping us booked up. We couldn’t do it without you! ❤️🐾

Great news for our local council car park!

This year we will be offering 3 hours of free parking across Council owned car parks from 8 December – 31 December, to enjoy and support our local high streets and businesses this festive period.

After reviewing the usage of our car parks over the free parking period last Christmas and listening to our local businesses, we want to prevent commuters taking advantage of all-day free parking.

So, our ticket machines will issue free tickets for the first 3 hours, as well as on the PayByPhone app, with normal charges applying after this period.

Shop local this Christmas!

Please note parking charges still apply at Technology Drive and Station Road car parks. All other restrictions still apply, please see tariff boards for more information.

Wow, what an incredible weekend!

Last year, I competed in the doubles category with Sally at and this weekend was just as amazing.

Saturday brought a solo class with my dog Finnegan, and Sunday was doubles again with Sally and her dog Tinkerbell. Although we didn't place, the experience was unforgettable.

Delilah is feeling fresh and fabulous after her grooming session! There's nothing quite like the joy of bringing home a clean dog. As a reward for her grooming, Delilah always receives a new bone. This positive reinforcement makes every grooming experience worthwhile for her.

I also picked up another one of Lily's favorite toys—one that Delilah had taken—and discovered that there's a larger version available just for her!

It's safe to say that I have two very happy girls today, all thanks to for their wonderful goodies!
