Kennels, Dog Grooming, Walking and Pet Sitting Services Cherry Hogg’s Dog Grooming Originally from London, owner Sue Cooper decided to use cockney rhyming slang to name her upmarket dog grooming salon, Cherry Hogg = Dog. She offers a full dog grooming package including bathing, nail trim, ear clean and gland expression where necessary. Very badly matted dogs are also catered for, although she often recommends taking the coat off and starting again. Since opening last May, she has over 600 clients and believes people are increasingly interested in spending money on their pets and says, “My British bull dogs are like my babies and I feel that other pet owners are the same and want to treat their pets.” • Bring this page to receive a 10% discount. 57 Northampton Road, Market Harborough, LE16 9HD Tel: 01858 466 997 http://www. cherryhoggs.co.uk/
