About HAIR OF THE DOGS DOG GROOMING SALON LTD
Nestled in the countryside at Stone Hill Gardens, Henstridge, Hair of the Dogs is a peaceful, rural grooming salon where dogs get our full, undivided attention. We specialise in calm, 1-2-1 grooms tailored specifically to your dog - no cages, no rush, and no other dogs sharing the table. Whether it's a full breed-standard cut, a practical pet trim, or just a much-needed bath and tidy, every groom is done at your dog's pace in a quiet, stress-free environment. Simply drop off, grab a coffee in the village, and return to a happy, freshly groomed pooch.
