New dog grooming salon now open in Berwick town centre

Lucy Gordon is part of a family of animal lovers and following on from getting dog grooming qualifications, she has launched Scruffy Hounds at 2 Hide Hill.

Services include full groom packages, bath and brush, nail trimming and gentle one-to-one.

The 26-year-old is currently at the premises on evenings and weekends as she is fitting it in alongside her work with Scottish Borders Council and Berwick Animal Rescue Kennels (BARK).

She currently lives near Coldstream, with the aim of moving to Berwick in the future.

Lucy said: “I’ve always had a passion for working with animals, so it’s exciting to have taken this step. Although it was a lot of work getting everything ready, it’s been worth it so far.

“Berwick is a nice place and I’ve met so many lovely people through BARK, so I felt it would be a good location to have the salon.

“I liked the look of the premises on Hide Hill and the inside was good as well, so I decided to take a leap of faith and go for it – it all happened quickly as it was about two weeks from seeing the premises were available to signing the lease.

“There are different coats across the dog breeds and so, if required, I will step in and help owners make the right decision for their dog if they ask for something that would be bad for the dog.”

She also thanked family and friends for their “amazing” support.
