A Salford dog grooming salon has won recognition for its outstanding contribution to the industry.
The Worsley salon DogzBody has been specifically designed to mimic a warm and welcoming home environment, complete with cozy rugs, a television, comfortable seating and even a coffee machine.
The special treatment was recognised at the Animal Star Awards where the spa was highly commended in dog groomer of the year.
The team consists of qualified groomers Jess and Amy, who have recently been joined by Kendra, who initially volunteered at the salon through the Princes Trust scheme at the age of 16.
Kendra is now a full-time apprentice at the salon, working towards her Level Two Dog Grooming Qualification.
Owner and manager Fran Gray said: “Receiving this award allows us to share our unique approach to dog grooming.
“Our salon operates differently from other local businesses, emphasizing a holistic approach and working with very small numbers of dogs.
“It is very special for our small salon to be recognised nationally.”
As Fran continued: “It requires specific skills, along with a significant amount of patience, knowledge and experience—qualities that our team possesses in abundance.
“This serves as great motivation to continue offering high-quality services and makes all the hard work feel worthwhile.”
The team worked from a mobile van before opening the salon in Manchester Road in January 2020, just before the Covid pandemic began.
Fran added: “I am incredibly proud of what we have achieved at the salon over the past four years.
“Our reputation has grown within our local community, and we now have clients traveling from afar to use our services.”
