Reviews

"I know we are aware of this but I have to say that since posting on FB and google that I’ve joined this wonderful group (PDBUK) - I’ve had numerous clients say they didn’t realise all groomers weren’t trained as such. My phone hasn’t stopped ringing, my inbox is on fire - best £30 I ever spent!

Here’s to the next chapter in ensuring the welfare of our babies are taken seriously…. “Thank you” Sue Oliver for recommending Professional Dog Businesses UK group to me… you’re a diamond! (My books are full ‘till December!) I

I will endeavour to be the best groomer I can be to each individual doggy because I love every one of them."

(West Bridgford Dog Grooming)

"I Joined PDBUK for networking and marketing purposes, it’s wonderful to connect with like-minded pet businesses who are really passionate about their work with dogs. To know that PDBUK Vets all of its businesses first to ensure they all meet the highest of standards in terms of qualifications, licenses etc is great. The quality, experience and expertise within the network is second to none. PDBUK is a real gem for dog owners looking for a reputable pet business to meet their specific needs."

(Anastasia, The Dog Tooth Fairy).

"I joined PDBUK last year to demonstrate my commitment to professional standards in the industry. Because PDBUK vets its members with strict joining criteria, people who use PDBUK can be confident that Actidog has the appropriate qualifications, insurance and experience needed to offer the best possible service."

(Laura, Actidog Canicross & Cani-hiking).

"PDBUK has been fantastic for networking with a community who are as passionate about our trade as I am. It proves the ethics and professionalism of Doggy Home School."

(Doggy Home School).

"This is a great resource for anything dog related."

(Canine Strides Massage Therapy).

"Delighted to be part of this business and it deserves recognition for the amount of work that Emma, Director puts in.
Emma is passionate about dog’s getting the best service possible and is on a mission which I feel will succeed.
The way it is run is just spot on…all professional credentials are checked on a yearly basis before renewing our membership and with the group growing so big now, that’s a lot of work…!
The way Emma tries to promote the professionals is second to none - competitions are run for all services offered - I feel these are set up fairly and more importantly, in addition, draws attention not only to qualified, professionals but also highlights the most important factor in all of this - that our shared aim is for all dogs to receive the best possible service from all in BDPUK.
“Thank you” so very much Emma for accepting me into this fabulous group…It’s helped me loads with my business…customers’ are loving that they have a so called ‘vetted’ dog groomer!
Absolutely 5* from me…x"

(Jayne Ritchie)

Amazing! Give us a bit of recognition in a society which is often too keen to see people fail. This has been a nice group to be part of and I add the logo to my certificates so my students know they are part of something too. Well done. It’s nice to feel part of something.

(Lorna Foley)

Excellent service for dog owners and professionals alike. I particularly like that anyone that wants to have their details on the site has to show proof of insurance and their certificates for any courses they have completed. Meaning that anyone on there has already been checked and assessed for their suitability.

(Speak Dog With Ruth Haynes)

Amazing way of people finding top quality, fully licensed and insured pet professionals as each company joining are scrutinised and verified. Love the award system too. If your looking for any pet service check these out on.

(Jane)

PDBUK is a fantastic group of people who can share different stories and advice on anything about dogs. Emma works tirelessly to make this such a great group of professionals in the dog world.

Highly recommend this company for any professional dog business. Emma is very thorough and the communication is amazing. My business was added to the website within a day. The Facebook group is also very informative and helpful.

(Hayley Cunningham)

EMMA DEVOTES A HUGE AMOUNT OF TIME AND ENERGY INTO CREATING A ETHICAL PLATFORM WHERE LIKEMINDED DOG PROFESSIONALS CAN COME TOGETHER AND SHOW CASE THEIR BUSINESSES. SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS AND ENGAGEMENT IS FANTASTIC FOR BUSINESS AND THE DIRECTORY IS A FANTASTIC RESOURCE. - Many Thanks.

Good value for money, advertising platform.
Great place to find professional dog businesses and be assured that they are fully trained and insured professionals.

We feel that having industry standards are very important and it gives customers a bit of reassurance knowing that the business they are going to send their beloved pooches to have been checked.

(Dave - Top Dog)

Fantastic company, that gives people the peace of mind that everyone they advertise are fully qualified professionals.
