"Thank you for grooming my 12 year old…"

Thank you for grooming my 12 year old cat Rocky she looks fabulous! You were friendly and knowledgeable and defiantly put my mind at rest when I left her with you.

"Absolutely Animals are Amazing!"

Absolutely Animals are amazing!! I really can’t recommend them highly enough.

When my mother passed away one of her dying requests was for me to look after her beloved cat. The poor animal was in a terribly matted state, despite my best efforts to look after her fur. The kind people at Absolutely Animals took care of her and even found her a little sweater to wear.

They really did go beyond the call of duty and all at a very reasonable price.

"Very friendly staff and an easy booking…"

Very friendly staff and an easy booking process via their website. Would take my cat back again any time.

"Don’t go here!!"

I thought long and hard before writing this review. A few weeks ago my 10 month old Maine coon kitten had a Matt under his armpit and he had never been to a groomer before which I explained. Everyone loves this cat from the vet to the Cattery and no previous issues there. Absolutely animals did not explain on the phone they would keep him for 3.5 hours crated most of the time until my husband arrived with him. He was not allowed to introduce the cat to them they had a whole load of cats there that were kept whilst waiting for grooming in crates.
When my husband picked him up he was told the cat was very naughty and had hissed at the groomer and bitten her when she lifted him out of his carrier. She said she would speak to me the following day. The cat had had the Matt removed but came home with a dirty bottom which he had gone with and I had to bath him myself to clean him up. When I finally spoke to Christine the following day she told me he was very difficult and said “you cats behaviour was awful” I explained he is a kitten and was probably terrified esp as there was no opportunity introduce him to her. She blames Covid which is ridiculous at this point as the vet lets an owner in now with their pet. It seemed to be all about time. She told me they take cats in and out of crates to do them bit by bit. I spoke to her about doing her grooming course and she said don’t bring Aslan you won’t be able to groom him we will let you practice on another cat. I have to say I have groomed him ever since and de matted him myself as he is never going back there. It took time for me to work out how I felt about it the cat was so traumatised he didn’t go to the toilet for two days and his nails had been cut so short for a week he couldn’t grip his cat tree and kept falling off it. We couldn’t feel’s his claws at all.
This was an abusive experience and whilst I read others have had a different experience if you have a sensitive cat or a kitten I do not recommend these people. Being told my cats behaviour was awful felt like a bad parents evening.
So I paid £75 for a dreadful experience for the kitten and ourselves and a returnee with a filthy bottom! Who was really upset for days. I wasn’t going to leave a review as I knew it would be negative but everyone I discussed it with said I really should and so I am. This happened about 8 weeks ago. Never ever again these people had on empathy for my poor kitten.

"Excellent hand strip of my border…"

Excellent hand strip of my border terrier. It was his first time and he was handled with great care. Really listened and took notice of what we wanted/didn’t want. Very competitive price too. Would thoroughly recommend.

"Absolutely Fabulous!!!!"

I first used AA a couple of years ago, and shamefully forgot to write a review. Well, not today, after taking my cat to be De matted. Thank you for your professionalism and no nonsense advice Heidi & the girls. A stellar service. Worth every penny!

"Definitely coming back!"

I was given a time to go in in order to avoid other dogs as Oswald isn't too keen with others and everything went smoothly! I was given advice on how to take care of him and I'll definitely be coming back.

"The team were very considerate and took…"

The team were very considerate and took their time with me on the training course making sure all the animals were well looked after. I would highly recommend Absolutely Animals both for grooming and the training courses.
