Pampered Pets

History

Established in 1988.

My involvement in dogs and cats started at a young age in fact I was still in my push chair. I accompanied my mother all over the country, with her Champion show dogs and also accompanied her with her overseas judging. Since 1969, she has bred and shown Yorkshire Terriers, she has a staggering 20 home breed Champions, also winning best of breed at Crufts in 2009 for the second time.

My mom also bred and showed Persian cats and Birmans and I would help with the preparation for the shows all the grooming and bathing — much different to dogs.

In 1980 my mom brought a boarding kennels and cattery called Littleoaks Boarding Kennels. After school and at weekends I helped with the care and welfare of the pets. After a short time it came apparent there was a need for a good grooming service. As you can see I’ve gained a lot of hands on experience with both dogs and cats over the years. In 1988 I opened my own grooming studio at the kennels called Sam’s Studio.

I became passionate about givi
