Burns Pet Nutrition has announced the launch of its new Burns Dog Spa, which has now opened its doors in Kidwelly at the group’s Burns farm shop.
The salon offers a range of services and treatments, including traditional washing, grooming and styling, nail trimming, ear cleaning, as well as facials and paw balms.
It is run by grooming specialist Jackie Bowen, who brings with her 10 years of experience working in the industry, having joined Burns from Pets at Home in Cross Hands where she worked as salon manager for two years.
All products used at the salon will be free from harsh chemicals, parabens, soaps and dyes, and will also carry the Leaping Bunny logo, which guarantees that they are sustainable and cruelty-free.
The new salon is located at the group‘s farm shop, Parc y Bocs, is dedicated to selling and serving locally sourced produce. As well as the spa, Parc y Bocs will soon unveil a dog health clinic where owners will be able to bring in their pets for a weigh in and receive personalised nutritional advice from a team of nutritionists.
Dog grooming officer Jackie Bowen said: “I am so pleased to be joining Burns and can’t wait to open the new Dog Spa facility. I am passionate about working with dogs and have dreamed of having my own salon for years, so this new role is perfect for me.
“I have over 10 years experience, and have worked for pets at home in various groom rooms in South Wales for the past 7 1/2 years, prior to that ran my own home mobile dog grooming business in England for 2 years.”
John Burns said: “I am excited to reveal our new dog spa at Parc y Bocs, which is a reflection of our continued efforts to add value for our customers and improve the repertoire of services we have available.
“Those that have piloted the facilities have really enjoyed the experience and I have no doubt that the spa will be a very welcome addition for our local customers. I am also thrilled that we could create a new role at Parc y Bocs and am pleased to welcome Jackie to the Burns family. We can’t wait to welcome our first customers to the salon.”
