There are many reasons to have your pet groomed
It not only makes your pet look and smell better, but also contributes to his or her emotional and mental well being.
Having your pet groomed regularly is also an excellent way of alerting you to any health issues. Our Groomers work closely with our Vets to ensure your pet is in the very best hands at all times and no issue is overlooked. At QVC, it is strongly believed that grooming experiences should always be pleasant and positive for every pet. They should love and enjoy being groomed and want to come back for their next visit. At QVC, time is taken with each and every grooming appointment ensuring that each pet enjoys a gentle groom to achieve the best look to suit their body type and breed. Our canine, feline and bunny customers come back again and again for the special pampering they receive at the hands of our expert groomers. From a simple pedicure to full beauty treatment, every pet leaves our beauty shop looking their best. We also have a new range of non-toxic hair dye and nail polish if you want your pet to look extra special. Not sure what would suit your pet? No worries, we have a fantastic lookbook to make your choices easy peasy. QVC only uses the best products on your pets; specifically designed shampoos and conditioners that have been scientifically developed to ensure the very best treatment and outcome.
