Here’s a little more info about Groomability, the family behind the business, and the mobile Dog Grooming service
We’re the Lloyd family, and ‘Groomability’ is operated from our home here in Barton, Cambridgeshire. We provide mobile dog grooming services at homes throughout Cambridge and the surrounding area. Our mobile grooming service and our specially equipped van is operated by Belinda. She is an animal lover, dog enthusiast and official City & Guilds qualified dog groomer. Belinda has a deep understanding and real passion for both dogs and dog grooming, which helps her to get to know your dog, build trust and deliver a premium quality grooming session.
Belinda studied at The College of West Anglia, where she gained City & Guilds qualifications in Animal Care and Dog Grooming. This training and experience has made her prolific in grooming techniques on every breed of dog. With a quick coat assessment, she can identify just the right shampoo, conditioner and technique which will provide the absolute best results for your dog.
Martin, Belinda’s dad, and our own dogs
Martin provides administrative and secretarial assistance. You will usually hear him on the end of the phone or see him driving the Groomability van. He will be more than happy to chat to you about the grooming procedure and book you in for an appointment.
We also have a few dogs of our own. We’ve had a number of German Shepherds over the years, and we currently have two back at home. Gunner is an 11 year old retired police dog, and Troy is a 4 year old rescued dog.
What we do for the Arthritis Care Charity
Since the age of 2, Belinda has suffered from arthritis. As a family, we highly value the work carried out by the national Arthritis Care Charity, and because of this, we donate 50 pence per groom to the charity.
It’s our way of saying thank you for the help the charity has given to Belinda and the millions of other people who suffer from arthritis throughout the UK.
What’s in our mobile dog grooming van?
Our van is specially built to hold everything a premium dog grooming salon should contain:
- A state-of-the-art K9 hydrobath
- A hot air blast dryer
- Salon-quality dog shampoos, conditioners and other pampering products
- A full set of expert clipping, trimming and styling equipment
The built-in K9 warm water hydrobath is a combined bath tub and power shower. The recirculation pump provides a powerful yet adjustable flow of warm water and shampoo which breaks down contaminants and gently dissolves away dirt, grease, grime and odours from your dogs’ fur.
Belinda then uses the rest of our equipment to hand-groom your dog. Belinda’s arthritis means that she is unable to undertake the hand-stripping of dogs, but apart from that, careful attention to detail is paid throughout the grooming session to ensure that your dog leaves our mobile salon feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, pampered and brilliantly clean.
Canine first aid and liability insurance
For your complete piece of mind, both Belinda and Martin have completed a canine first aid course. We also hold public and product liability insurance to the value of £2.5million.
