Deborah has been grooming my dog for several years now and has always been excellent. She has many many years of experience and it shows in her work and care.

We found Debbie through her website www.kentskanines.com; when she visited our home and saw Bella's tangle of hair, she recommended starting with two sessions so as to not overwhelm... read full review
