Our little puppy Misha loves going here! Always runs in with her tail wagging! Always comes out looking even cuter than we thought would be possible.

Christine groomed our Frenchie cross staff Luna for the 1st time today. She doesn't like the dryer but she took her time and reassured her it's fine. Have to say she's one of the best groomers I've used and already got Luna booked in for September ♥️

Christine is absolutely fabulous with our young dog. Holly can be quite timid, but Christine is always so patient, gentle, and reassuring with her. She comes back looking and smelling gorgeous after every groom… we're super happy with the care she receives 😊
Response from Christine
Aww Danni, thank you so so much 💗 Holly's such a gentle little soul 🥹🐾 I'm looking forward to seeing her grow in confidence even more 🥰 Thank you for trusting me with her!

Honestly wouldn't take our baby anywhere else. She was very nervous of groomers before finding Christine @hot paws. Taking the time and being so patient, Mabel has become more settled. She is so loving and genuinely cares for the dogs that go to her. 💯 recommend
Response from Christine
This is so lovely to read 🥰 Seeing Mabel feel more comfortable each visit is honestly so rewarding 🐾 Thank you for your lovely words and for putting your trust in me 💗

Absolutely amazing! 🐶 She is so gentle and brilliant with my dog, who always comes back looking and smelling fabulous. You can tell she truly cares and takes her time — he doesn't like the dryer too much but he has got a lot better with it because she takes her time and doesn't rush him. Wouldn't trust anyone else—10/10!
Response from Christine
This means the world to me 💗 Drako always keeps me smiling 😂🐾 It's been lovely finding what works best for him and seeing him more relaxed during his grooms. Thank you for trusting me with him 💕

Hot Paws Emporium is a wonderful salon. Christine's passion for dogs is truly evident and it made me feel completely confident leaving my dog, Bubbles, in her care. Bubbles looks and smells absolutely amazing after her groom!
Response from Christine
Thank you for your lovely review! ✨ Bubbles is such a sweetheart and was an absolute joy to have in. I'm thrilled you're happy with her groom and felt confident leaving her in my care 💕

Mitzi had her first groom at Hot Paws Emporium a few weeks ago. Christine came highly recommended by her customers. Right from my first enquiry it was clear why.

We took our dog to see Christine today — he's come out so lovely, happy and his cut is fantastic. As soon as I spoke with Christine it was evident she cares a lot about dogs, and it was even more obvious in person. We've already booked in our next groom and couldn't recommend her more ☺️
Response from Christine
Thank you so much Chloe 🐾 It was lovely meeting you and Paddy! I'm so happy you're pleased with his groom and that he enjoyed his visit. Can't wait to see you both again soon ✂️💖

Brilliant service! My Staffy has problem skin with dandruff and bald patches, but after her wash she looked and felt so much better. They also did a great job trimming her nails, which isn't easy. Really caring and professional – highly recommend!
Response from Christine
Thank you so much Alicia! 🥰 I'm so happy she was looking and feeling better after her wash. Nail trims can be tricky, so well done to her! I really appreciate you trusting me 💖

I would give more than 5 stars if they were available. I have a German Shepherd, Dave. So you can imagine the fur that he has! Well Hot Paws de-shedded Dave like no one has ever done! He came back smooth, glossy and smelling amazing.
Response from Christine
Thank you so much Danielle! Dave is such a gentleman — he looked amazing after his groom 🐕💙 I'm so pleased you're happy, and I can't wait to have him back in for another pamper and play!

Brought my dog Penny for a pamper — she's very anxious and isn't keen on the bath. Christine was so good at keeping her calm and comfortable the whole time, did an amazing job with Penny. She can't wait to come back again soon. Highly recommended, wouldn't go anywhere else now.
Response from Christine
Thank you Emily! Penny did so well, especially after our little floor-drying session before she realised the table isn't a scary place 🐶✨ She's such a sweetheart and I can't wait to see her again soon 💕

Christine is a caring groomer. I took time to trust someone with my little man. She takes so much care, time and love with my dog, Buddy. He is terrible with his nails, but she takes good care and knows his limits. She is patient, caring.
Response from Christine
Thank you so much for your kind words Lesley! 🥰 It truly means the world that you trust me with your gorgeous boy, Buddy 🐾 I'm so happy he feels comfortable and happy after his grooms, and I can't wait to see that waggy tail again soon! 💖
