“I've been taking my Jackapoo to Helen at Perfect Paws for the past 3 years and she always does an awesome job. My dog loves going there and gets wildly excited when we arrive, she can't wait to go in!”
“From the first time we went, with a nervous little dog who had not long been rescued from Romania, Helen instantly put her at ease. She always makes a great job of clipping her and Poppy loves going for a pamper”
“Took our sprocket Teddy for a groom today, it was our first time with Perfect Paws and I was really impressed with how much attention she gave Teddy and how through she was. This obviously isn't just a job, it's a passion and she loves dogs.”
“Really professional job done on our little Yorkie. Also Helen was able to identify early stages of a possible skin condition of which we were not aware.”
“Excellent service as Helen booked us in at short notice. Very friendly, did an excellent job on my Golden Retriever. Stella was very happy when I collected her so I knew she'd been well looked after.”
“Bertie, our westie/schnauzer cross looked like a hedge monkey before we took him to perfect paws. Helen did a wonderful job and was very good with him. She's clearly a dog lover.”
