About Me
My name is Susan Kilgour, I am the owner and proprietor of Ellon Grooming Services.
Since childhood all I have ever wanted is to work with animals and I am happy that I have managed to fullfill that wish. I was brought up with all kinds of animals as pets and think this is where my love for animals stems from, I live outside Ellon on a croft where we keep horses, sheep, dogs, cats, chickens, ducks and a guinea pig as pets.
My daughter and I enjoy showing our horses and ponies.
It is here on the croft that I run my grooming business, in a purpose built log cabin with all the latest equipment.
The business has been established for 14 years, but I myself have been grooming for over 20years.
I originally trained as a veterinary nurse and then moved into the pet grooming profession.
I groom all breeds and types of dogs up to 35kg in weight, and offer a one on one service, where each client's pet is allocated its own appointment slot so there is no interruption to its groom. Once a pet is here with us, we will not even answer the phone, your pet has our sole attention at all times.
Grooming your dog when there is SNOW.
Many people think its unfair to have their pet trimmed when the weather changes, this is a falacy, during cold wet periods many dogs only go out and do what they need and come straight back inside. By having your dogs hair cut during the bad weather you are actualy helping your pet to recover quicker from the effects of the wet and cold, they will dry much much quicker and will not gather as many or as a big "snow balls" on their coats.
Go out and buy them a coat to keep their backs dry, many coats now adays even have flaps that come right round under their tummy keeping them clean and dry under there as well.
Services Offered:
Clipping, be it short all over or to breed standard I am able to accommodate most requests.
Hand Stripping , a technique used to remove old coat from specific wire haired breeds, this procedure, when done, is an alternative to clippering and enhances the natural colour of the coat and helps to retain the coats texture, which clipping can alter. NOT all breeds coats are suitable to be hand stripped.
Bath only, short coated breeds i.e labradors and greyhounds can come in and have a bath and de shed, removing all dead and old coat, many people can't believe the difference this makes in helping to reduce shedding of hair in the pets home, and cutting down on vacuuming at home, why not give it a try?
Nail Clipping is only available to clients who's pets are in for a full groom and is included in the price of the groom
