Why KD
An expert studio that treats your pet like one of the family
KD Grooming Studio has been part of the Somerset pet community since Kelly Davis entered the pet industry in 2002. The team combines competition-level grooming with the kind, steady handling anxious or senior animals need.
-
Handled with patience
Calm, kind handling is the most common thing owners mention. Pets are moved at their own pace and never rushed through a groom.
-
Qualified and award-winning
Led by Kelly Davis, winner of BBC Pooch Perfect 2021, described on the official site as a grooming specialist, educator and pet esthetician.
-
A groomer for every animal
Dogs, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs, with hand-stripping, de-shedding, puppy grooms, teeth cleaning and sensitive-coat work.
-
A centre that trains groomers
A City & Guilds approved training centre. Students learn on real pets and have gone on to open their own grooming businesses.
Rooted in rescue
KD gives back to animal welfare across the South West. Every nail trim booked donates proceeds to Little Gems Rescue, and the studio hosts Supergroom South West each year to raise funds.
“They did an outstanding job on our miniature poodle. Genuinely lovely team.”
“Reliable and accommodating. Warm, friendly people who clearly love the animals they groom.”
“The support carried on after the course. I left with the confidence to start my own business.”
