Pampering pets since 1996

My name is Donna, the owner of Coonan Pampered Pets. It is a very daunting experience leaving your pet for the first time with a stranger, I for one totally understand, so here is a little bit about myself to reassure you that your pet is in safe hands. I opened Coonan Pampered Pets in 1996, after I finished my studies and obtained my certificates in Animal Care, Diploma in Animal Care, and Small Animal Care. I also received training at the London Academy of Grooming where I was trained to the City and Guilds standards. I have had much experience in other animal professions i.e. veterinary practices, the RSPCA and boarding kennels and cattery; where they incorporated a dog/cat grooming business and where I spent 5 years. This is a quotation from the manageress, Maureen, (who at the time worked for the kennels; was then the owner of Pooch Parlour, but has now retired) ‘We were all sad to see her leave. I for one have seen many staff come and go, and I felt particularly sad to see this work colleague “move on”. I considered her my equal and her care for the animals is something that has to be seen to be appreciated and I have rarely said that about any of my work colleagues. She will be greatly missed’.
