Dear all, 

We hope you are staying safe during these unprecedented times.

⚠️LATEST COVID-19 UPDATE-August ⚠️

We have developed a sufficient covid-19 routine at work for CUSTOMER APPOINTMENT ARRIVAL. The Ark vets phone number, written on the side door of vets practice, is for clients to call and the receptionists will put you through to the groomers. Please ONLY CALL THIS NUMBER FOR ARRIVALS AND PICKING UP

FOR BOOKINGS We currently encourage you to book your dogs in via our online booking system, securing yourselves appointments. Unless you do not have access to internet you may book via OUR NEW BOOKING landline 01206 699239 but you cannot reach the groomers directly, it is diverted to the manager working remotely.
Please allow time for the manager to reply to messages as we are extremely busy.

We have an approximately 2-4 week waiting list but if your dogs are severely matted please let us know and we will see if we can get you in.

Please adhere to our guidelines during the Covid-lockdown. If you cannot follow these then unfortunately we cannot groom your dog. Our staffs safety is paramount to us, as is yours.
