Price Increase Notice

I hope this finds you well. To continue providing you with the highest quality of service, I find it necessary to implement a price increase. This change will take effect on 21st April 2025.

The rising costs associated with running my business make it increasingly difficult to maintain the low prices I’ve offered over the years. While I understand that the economy can be tough, please know this decision was not made lightly and is essential to ensure I can continue delivering the best service possible.

I am truly grateful for your loyalty and support over the past 6 years, and I remain committed to giving you and your wonderful dogs the best experience with every visit. I look forward to continuing to care for your furry friends in the future.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me via message or email.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Happy 5 years to Short, Bark ‘n’ Sides! 🎈

Thank you to all for supporting my small business and helping me grow. 5 years ago, I didn’t think I would be in the position I am now, with all my wonderful clients, I see on a regular basis that keep me so busy.😊

I wouldn’t be where I am today without you and your furry friends!🐾

Hi all,

Hope you’re all well and enjoying the sun 😊

Just a reminder that the remaining of the year is filling up fast, especially the few weeks before Christmas.

Price Increase -

Unfortunately, to keep in line with inflation and cost of materials, I will be having to increase my prices between £1 and £4 across all services, starting from the 1st of September.

Thank you all for continuing to support my small business.

If there are any concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
