About Precious Paws

Precious Paws is my mobile dog grooming business, built around qualified care, thoughtful handling and a genuine commitment to ongoing learning.

I’m Melissa, the groomer behind Precious Paws.

I hold the City & Guilds Level 3 Diploma in Dog Grooming, and I continue to invest in further professional development to strengthen and refine the way I work.

I also hold Qualified Teacher Status with a First Class degree in Education, and that background remains an important part of what I bring to my business. It means I care not only about doing the work well, but also about helping owners understand it. Clear explanation, realistic expectations and owner education are all important to me.

Alongside my grooming work, I am currently studying veterinary physiotherapy at degree level, further reflecting my commitment to ongoing professional development and to building a deeper understanding of canine care.

I believe grooming should be tailored to the individual dog in front of me. Every dog arrives with its own coat, temperament, history and needs, and I think that should be reflected in the way they are handled and groomed.

That is a big part of what Precious Paws now stands for: thoughtful, professional care that helps owners feel informed and confident too.
