I’m really happy I found Lorna to groom my dog . Her approach is excellent for dogs that find the grooming setting stressful !
I know my dog is cared for and safe there and Lorna does a great job 👏

Barks and Bubbles is an amazing holistic dog groomers. Second to none service. Dog is not forced or made to do anything they don't want to and our dog is very anxious. He loves his grooming now. Thanks

So glad we found Lorna to look after our pup. She does a great job with the grooms but far more importantly for us, she’s great with our pooch and very caring. It means that our furry friend is happy to go for her 6 weekly makeover. It makes the world of difference.

Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

I first started visiting Lorna several years ago with my old girl Hollie. Hollie had spondylitis & a deformity in her vertebrae which meant she had to be managed very carefully & couldn’t stand in one position for very long, this also meant that I needed to stay with her & had struggled to find a groomer that was happy for me to stay.

Lorna was absolutely fantastic with her, she would put comfy mats on the table meaning there was less pressure on Hollie’s legs while she was standing & when Hollie needed to move or sit down Lorna just let her & groomed what she could while giving Hollie a break. She used lick mats stuck on the wall to help Hollie keep focused & happy while doing some of the tricky bits. Lorna was never in a rush to groom her & always made sure Hollie was as comfortable as possible & happy to be there.

Lorna also grooms Kensi, who is slightly nervous when it comes to being groomed & again for Lorna it’s all about making sure Kensi gets the best positive experience possible. She is not forced to stand in any one position & Lorna is happy to give her a break if she needs it & then start again. I have even sat on the floor myself with Kensi on me while she cuts her hair in between her pads because that’s where she is comfortable & happy. There is no one way with Lorna, she will work in whatever way suits your dog to ensure they are happy, comfortable & have the best experience possible.

Thank you, Lorna.

Lorna goes above and beyond to make sure that our dog loves going to the groomers and he always comes out looking great. After visiting previous salons which resulted in him fearing the groomers, having to be carried out of the car and being sick after each visit, Lorna worked so hard to make it a positive experience for him. He now gets so excited to see Lorna and runs to the door! We can’t thank Lorna enough for putting his well-being first and helping him to overcome his fears, without her perseverance we’d have a very matted and unhappy dog!

Cannot recommend highly enough!
Lorna fit me in for an emergency flea bath on our new foster boy, who came to us on Tuesday riddled with fleas.
Although not her usual routine, as he was clearly nervous, in order to ease his itching/soreness she took great care in trying to get rid of as many of the little nasties as she could.

The sprats & liver paste he got treated to along the way were certainly enjoyed! (By the dog that is!)

In doing all of this, she had to rejig tomorrows diary at short notice to make sure that the salon is clean & safe for others. This was done without hesitation.

She was super patient & her gentle methods were certainly clear & appreciated.

Thank you again Lorna!!

Very friendly service, all natural dog shampoos used. Lorna really cares for the dogs and doesn’t over charge. She will let you stay with her for the first time your dog is groomed, so you can see how she works and how your dog reacts on the table, I would recommend to all.

Lorna does a wonderful groom on my labradoodle Nell. Nell is quite a shy dog, but is very comfortable with Lorna. Would highly recommend.
