“Flick did a super groom for my golden retriever. It was his first time and he was very matted but Flick took such great care of him and he came out looking very handsome and happy.”
“We regularly use Flick at Hawkswood Hounds for our Spaniel. She does a great job and he comes out looking clean, tidy and smart. Most importantly, he LOVES going there. She is really lovely with the dogs and it's nice and easy to book.”
“He has been to see her 3 times now, and while he is still not a fan, he walks in happily, wagging his tail. Flick is patient with him, caring and adapts her way of working to suit Noodles and to keep him happy and comfortable.”
“Our puppy, a Tibetan Terrier, had his first groom at five months old and was quite nervous and 'bitey.' Flick took her time, worked at his pace, and gave us some really helpful advice to make future grooms easier.”
“They're so accommodating and friendly but more importantly our spaniel looks and smells incredible when we pick him up. He's also happy to be there, which is important to me.”
“Great service at Hawkswood Hounds, very friendly, very clean and safe for your dog and very reasonable price. Our little dog was happy and took to Flick immediately.”
