Meet the groomer
Lucy is the groomer at Hot Dogs, and she's been grooming dogs for over 10 years.
“I absolutely love what I do. Working with dogs makes me happy. I treat all my four legged customers like they're my own and I wouldn't change it for the world.”
- Favourite part of the groom
- “The bath, especially if it's a dirty dog - the process is super therapeutic.”
- What she's best at
- “I'd probably say nail clipping - I'm fast and get them done before the dogs even realised.”

What we do
Grooming is by appointment at the salon. Lucy will consult and listen to what you want before each appointment, and she's happy to give advice along the way.
Full grooms
Groom, wash, condition, paws clipped, teeth cleaned and trims. We talk through what you'd like before every appointment and point out anything worth keeping an eye on, like teeth or long claws.
Puppy grooms
First grooms that introduce young dogs to the salon, then adult grooms as they grow. Lucy won't give a young pup a full groom when it would affect the adult coat.
Bath & Blow Dries
A bath and blow dry without the full groom. Send us a message and we'll find a time that suits you.
Nail clipping
Lucy's speciality. Quick, calm nail trims, and long claws are never taken past the quick.
The Monthly Bath Club
A regular monthly bath for your dog.
If you'd like to join our Monthly Bath Club scheme, just send us a message for more info.
Spaniels, labradors and of course dachshunds
Every dog is welcome on the table, but Lucy does have favourites. Her favourite dogs to groom:
“Spaniels, Labradors and of course Dashchunds”

“Our Cocker Spaniel has been visiting Lucy at Hot Dogs for nearly 7 years! She always comes back looking very smart and smelling wonderful. You can tell that that she is happy to be at the salon by her waggy tail and the way she heads straight for the crate on arrival. We first took her to Lucy when she was a pup and we were reassured at Lucy’s expertise when she said she wouldn’t do a full grooming on such a young dog as it would affect the adult coat - something we weren’t aware of. This gave us confidence in Lucy’s skills in caring for our precious pooch, which is why we are still taking her to Hot Dogs”
“Lucy at Hot Dogs has been so reassuring for our nervous pup and has built a good relationship with her since we introduced her to the world of grooming last September. Dottie comes home smelling lovely and looking gorgeous every time. Lucy will consult and listen to our requirements before each appointment and will offer advice and guidance whenever we have needed. We wouldn't use anywhere else!”
“My cavapoo has been going here since he was about 10 weeks for his first few puppy grooms and now he gets his adult grooms. Lucy is so caring and genuine. She really looks after my pup and he is always so soft and fluffy and also smells amazing. The best and friendliest service and great salon as well”
“I have four labradors, only one of which has been professionally groomed before. We had the works - groom, wash, condition, paws clipped, teeth cleaned, trims and everything else you could possibly imagine! The dogs were instantly made to feel at home and comfortable, the three novices took to it so well due to the calm and gentle management by the team. They literally changed colour and still smell delightful almost a week later (and the house is less hairy!) Great professional service with true expertise (we have one dog with long claws and they were not taken past the quick, also lots of helpful comments on teeth to watch etc). Fantastic team and service - we will be repeat customers!!”
“Lucy is the best. Both our pooches, Ollie and Casi are regularly washed and groomed to an excellent standard. They also smell lovely after Lucy's session. Thanks!”
