About us

Kirsty, a van, and a lot of very relaxed dogs.

Muddy Paws is Kirsty Bell, City & Guilds qualified with nine years in salons before going mobile. The van has hot water, a hydraulic table, proper lighting and heating. Your dog is never caged and never waits — the session starts when Kirsty arrives and your dog goes straight back inside afterwards. Nervous and elderly dogs are a speciality.

Reviews

What our customers say.

“Our rescue lurcher panics in salons. Kirsty did three short sessions to build him up and now he trots to the van on his own.”
Nicola GrantTarporley
“The convenience is unreal. She grooms him on the drive while I work and I do not lose half a Saturday sat in a waiting room.”
Paul RidleyChester
“Our old collie is fourteen and arthritic. Kirsty works around him, takes breaks, never rushes. That care is worth every penny.”

Common questions

Things people ask before booking.

Do you need my water or electricity?

No. The van is completely self-contained with its own water, heating and power, so all we need is somewhere legal to park near your door.

How long does a groom take?

A full groom is usually 90 minutes to two hours depending on coat and size. You will get a text when we are fifteen minutes away.

What if my dog is nervous?

Tell us when you book. Nervous and elderly dogs are what we are best at — we will take it at their pace, over several short visits if needed.
