Dogs in the Ards area can be a cut above the rest with the opening of a new barber shop for canines.
‘Doggie Barber Shop’, which offers a complete dog grooming service, has begun polishing pooches at Belfast Road, Comber, using high tech equipment including a walk in bath, adjustable grooming table, safety hip supporting harnesses and quiet drying equipment, which makes the experience more pleasurable for nervous or elderly dogs. Complimentary nail and ear care are also included.
Owner, Gina Palmer has been working with Ards Borough Council, taking advantage of expert advice and assistance in setting up her business:
“My primary concern is of course the dog. I endeavour to make them comfortable. But I think it is also important that I establish a good rapport with both dog and owner.”
Chairman of the Council’s Development Committee, Councillor Angus Carson, has praised Gina for her entrepreneurial spirit:
“Gina is to be congratulated on setting up what is an innovative business, which is no doubt going to attract a range of clients from both in and outside the Ards Borough area,” said Councillor Carson. “The Council recognises that it is this kind of innovation which can contribute so much to the vibrancy of our towns and to our local economy and we are delighted to be working with Gina, as well as other local entrepreneurs, to help them fulfil their potential for growth”.
