A little bit about me.

I began my journey with animals right from the day I was born. My childhood was always filled with animals, they made me happier than anything else! My school projects were always about animals, & I loved researching all about whichever animal I had chosen at the time.

I was 15 when I got my 1st job working with dogs & cats at a local kennel. It was a smelly & dirty job at times, but getting to spend time with the dogs & cats there made it all worth while.

When I was 18, I studied at University & achieved a HND in Animal Science in 2002. At the time I wasn't too sure at that point what I wanted to do with it. After getting the HND, I went to work in the care sector. It wasn't until a few years later that I was taking time off from work due to illness, that I met a lady who had a dog boarding/walking business locally. We became friends & I would join her when she walked dogs, it wasn't long before she suggested I should start up myself, with dog walking. I was excited & couldn't wait.

I quit my desk job & so was born "Fur & Nails Pet Services". Initially, providing a walking service, then added home boarding. I then went on to qualify as a dog groomer in 2012 & received a Welsh government start-up grant, which helped to pay for the equipment I needed.

I decided to train at Leahurst, over in the Wirral, to add Microchipping to my services also in 2012.

At this point now in 2022, I have been up & running for 12 years, & I still love what I do every day. Life just wouldn't be the same without animals around me.

Due to council rules, (UK wide) When I decided to start a family, I was no longer allowed to home board, until my daughter becomes 5 years old. It's been a tough pill to swallow, as I miss boarding customers' dogs in my home & treating them as one of my own, But I will hopefully in the future, return to be able to offer boarding again.

I work hard at what I do because I enjoy it so much. Providing Grooming for not just dogs, but cats, rabbits & guinea-pigs too.

I have microchipped many animals including dogs, cats & even Alpacas!

I believe there is always something new to learn about any job, so love to have in different breeds. I think the most interesting breed of dog I have had in was the Afgan Hound & a Sphinx cat. Microchipping the Alpacas was a real experience!

It's important to add, that I have my animal 1st aid certificate & all the relevant insurance's that are needed for this business, including on my vehicle.
