Abbey Grooming
This July 2013 we are extremely fortunate to have the services of Linda Vincent a groomer with immense experience and expertise. Visiting from her Wagtastic branch, Linda will bring her skills to the grooming room this Summer.
Call for an appointment as we have very limited space with Linda and she is in great demand.

She is a Kennel Club Assurred Breeder of Border Terriers and exhibits successlfully at the Uk’s premier Championship Dog shows including Crufts .
Before professional dogdom she enjoyed a long and rewarding career in Stud Management as a professional equine ‘midwife’, breeding Arabs for the showring (Kingsettle Stud) in the 70’s, then on to show jumpers and event horses, horses bred at Bromsden Farm Stud competed at all levels including internationally with awards at Hickstead and Horse of the Year Show, as well as youngstock championships. Perhaps one of my favourite achievements was a Reserve Champion with a homebred 3 year old colt and the Royal Welsh Show in 1992..

Based at our Abergavenny branch, our grooming room welcomes all breeds of dog: from nail clipping to a full styling session. Linda will work around you and your pet's individual needs with specialist veterinary shampoos designed to promote healthy skin and coat.
For skin conditions, our bathing clinic provides regular treatment sessions with the shampoo prescribed by your vet followed by a gentle blow dry to aerate the skin.
