A great editorial about Vicky's
Dog Care this month.
Thank you Sally at Focus Magazine.
Dogs just love Vicky’s Dog Care
Owning and caring for a dog is
great fun and immensely rewarding, it is also a big responsibility. If you need
advice on nutrition, exercise, grooming and general healthcare then you need to
speak to Vicky at Vicky's Dog Care, where you will be given one to one
attention and expert advice.
It was just over 20 years ago
Vicky Waller moved to Eaton Bray and set up her one to one dog-grooming
business. This was to be no regular dog grooming facility. The aim was to
deliver the best service in the industry to local dog owners, ensuring every
dog that came through the door got one to one personal attention. Now, many
years later Vicky has built a reputation for offering the highest quality of
care and exceptional personal service.
Vicky works from clean
well-equipped premises. Her workroom has all the mod cons including a negative
Ion shower with a collagen and vitamin C filter, designed to enhance your dog's
health and well-being. Vicky’s attention to detail is certainly impressive; all
to ensure every dog feels comfortable, relaxed and cared for. Vicky is very
proud of the fact she never uses cages. The atmosphere is calm, warm and
inviting. Just mentioning groomers who use cage dryers will cause Vicky to
throw her hands up in horror. Vicky’s priority is to groom your dog without causing
any stress or discomfort.
Every grooming session
automatically includes a free health check, looking for any common 'doggy'
issues, such as signs of allergies, eczema, or any specific conditions common
to your dog's breed. Her advice is based on years of personal and professional
experience. Vicky is Dorwest Veterinary trained and handles every situation
with patience and consideration, as though your dog was her own.
She says, " I want every dog
to be excited to see me and enjoy his or her visit. Regular grooming
appointments for any breed of dog, regardless of coat type, has many benefits
and it's also an excellent time to check on other aspects of a dog's health
that may otherwise be missed.”
With over 29 years of owning,
grooming, showing, handling and breeding dogs Vicky is experienced in dog
behavior and can understand canine body language, recognizing stress signals in
a dog before they escalate to panic or aggression. “I will never force a dog to
do something that it doesn't want to do.” Says Vicky. Instead, she will
encourage your dog to enjoy its grooming experience with reward based training
and desensitization techniques. “I spend time getting to know all my canine
clients. It gives me enormous satisfaction to see the results of my work on a
dog that has thoroughly enjoyed their visit.”
In the early days of Vicky’s Dog
Care, Vicky’s mantra was always quality over quantity, which is exactly what it
still is to this day. Hours of business are part time. Services are provided
strictly by appointment so she can concentrate on YOUR dog. Vicky’s work is
based on the belief that all her customer's needs are important. The time she
spends with your dog is committed to meeting those needs. As a result, a high
percentage of Vicky’s business is from repeat customers and referrals. There is
always a waiting list in operation.
Vicky is passionate about helping
all dogs and their owners and shares her own experiences via her website, blog,
and social media. Here you can find lots of information on all areas of dog
health and welfare. She invites all dog owners to submit ideas for future posts
and ask questions.
Vicky is clearly committed to the
highest standards of animal welfare and customer care. She would like to thank
all clients for making Vicky’s Dog Care the success it is today. Here’s to
another 20 years of a great local service!
