Michael, owner of Hair OFF the Dog
Hi, I’m Michael, the proud owner of Hair OFF the Dog.
I have always been a huge animal lover and my love for dogs and horses started from a very early age. I have always been passionate for dog grooming and began by grooming my own Schnauzers along with my friends dogs.
It was August 2021 when I decided to go from re-schooling and producing young horses to taking what felt like a big gamble to setting up my own dog grooming business.  I trained hard for six months practicing on all breeds of dogs alongside working towards my level three diploma in dog grooming and salon management. After this,  I also completed a first aid theory and practical to add to my list of qualifications!
I have been fortunately enough to have trained with some of the UK’s best groomers which has helped to elevate my knowledge and skills. This means your dog will receive an even better groom, utilising my extensive knowledge and experience along with giving all the dogs I groom the very best treatment.
Not all dogs like to be groomed and some may be nervous or anxious, I’ve worked hard with this expertise and always ensure the dog is comfortable with me before I start, and if it means taking more time with the groom, then that is ok.
My environment is very modern, clean and safe ensuring that your dog has the very best experience while in my care.
I’m situated in Burbage village in Leicestershire, a beautiful rural setting with a large fully enclosed garden. I only ever groom one dog at a time, ensuring that they get the very best of my attention.
If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me and I look forward to welcoming both you and your dog soon!

Testimonials

Micheal is absolutely fab with both my girlies they always come back looking and smelling gorgeous, very professional. My girls are collected from home and dropped back when they are done. I would highly recommend and I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Vikki West

Michael has had our dog for the day twice now and both times he has loved it! This time we even took the family dog as well. Michael did a great job and made our dogs welcome. Secure open garden space which was great for them both. The groom also looked spot on and was a reasonable price. Highly recommended service.

Harrison Lakin

Bella visited the salon for the first time today and it won’t be the last. At 11 & 1/2yrs young she can be a bit temperamental at times, but she came away looking well and truly pampered. Fab job on her groom and she smells amazing! Thank you

Karen Lester

Michael did a great job on our three girls. They rushed in on arrival and ran around the secure garden which was lovely to see as apposed to them being put in cages as in most groomers. The grooms looked fabulous and exactly what we discussed and loved the little pink ribbon gift. Great price, fantastic groom, lovely person, lovely way with the dogs, fabulous facilities and dogs came home not stressed, having had a nice time, looking and smelling lovely. Literally couldn’t ask for more! Highly recommended

Julie Adams
Michael is wonderful with dogs. So friendly and takes his time to get to know the dogs.
Karen Atikins
Michael groomed my Giant Schnoodle Valey yesterday. She is very vocal and was a little nervous (as was I) at being left. When I returned a few hours later Valey was much happier and the groom she had received was by far the best we’ve had with no cuts or nicks. We’ll definitely be visiting again soon. We would highly recommend Hair off The Dog grooming. Thank you
Jack Smith
