Not every dog groomer needs to be on a busy high street. K9-4 Paws operates from a dedicated grooming room at The Ramblers in Soberton Heath — a peaceful countryside location that's probably more relaxing for nervous dogs than any urban salon could be.
The Credentials
This isn't a hobby operation. K9-4 Paws is City & Guilds qualified, which means proper training, proper technique, and the kind of knowledge that comes from formal education in animal care. It's the industry standard for professional groomers who take their craft seriously.
Family Run, Well Established
The "family run" label matters. It usually means consistent service, personal attention, and the kind of care that comes from people who genuinely love what they do. K9-4 Paws has been established long enough to build a solid reputation in the local area — the kind of longevity that only comes from doing good work.
The Setup
The grooming room is purpose-built for the job, with a friendly atmosphere that helps dogs feel at ease. For pets who get anxious in busy, noisy environments, this quieter country setting can make all the difference to the grooming experience.
Practical Details
Located just off the beaten track in Soberton Heath, K9-4 Paws is accessible from Waterlooville, Southampton, and the surrounding Hampshire villages. Worth the short drive for dog owners who want quality grooming in a calmer environment.
