Welcome to Licks 'n' Purrs
My name is Dhriti Prakash (Dee) and I am the owner of Licks 'n' Purrs. I am a professional Dog and Cat Groomer and member of The British Dog Groomer's Association and Pet Care Trade Association. I've had many pets over the years and had been grooming dogs and cats as a hobby for family and friends, but it was the loss of my beloved cocker spaniel 'Shyamal', that inspired me to follow my heart and put my skills and passion for animals together and start a business to groom professionally. I received my Diploma Certificate from 'Canine Comforts London Grooming Academy', where I trained under Gill East - member of The Guild of Advanced Groomers and development consultant for the U.K. City and Guilds 7750 Certificate.
I understand how special your dog/cat is to you, whether they are big or small ~ they are a very special part of the family. At Licks 'n' Purrs your pet will be treated as I would like my own pets to be treated- with love, care, consideration and most of all respect. Being an animal lover makes my job very rewarding and enjoyable ~ I love my job! I feel extremely fortunate to have a career working with pets. I have 2 beautiful cocker spaniels Shadow and Fudge who absolutely love coming to work with me every day and a gorgeous tabby Tosh to greet us when we get back home.
Licks 'n' Purrs though a small sole trading business has been designed with your pets safety and comfort in mind. The parlour has purpose built state of the art specialist grooming equipment including a static bath with low rise door and step allowing easy access for older or larger dogs and only hydraulic grooming tables which can be lowered to the ground so that no jumping is required. I don't believe in cage drying, as it may cause skin irritations and burns - so all dogs are hand dried with temperature controlled dryers. Our elderly furry friends can also enjoy being pampered, with specially designed harnesses to support and take the load off during the grooming session. You are more than welcome to inspect the premises and equipments at any time. Licks 'n' Purrs also offers a wide range of pet supplies such as quality leads, collars, harnesses, toys , shampoos and much more.
I want your pet to love his/her grooming session - pampering sessions as I like to call them. Your pet's likes/dislikes, general health check, will all be recorded for future reference. I want to be able to cater for all our furry canine and feline friends, so should your pet be extremely nervous or gets agitated around other pets - special arrangements can be made. If you have any questions or queries, please feel free to give me a call and I'll be more than happy to answer them.
