It is clear that Julie is so passionate about her job and really cares for the dogs.  Thanks for making Millie and Chester look amazing again  

Rosie visited for the first time today and I’m really happy with the results. She looks gorgeous and smells divine! We’ll definitely be back!!! Thank you.

Well what an amazing experience both Heidi & I had when Heidi went for a full groom with Julie. From start to finish Julie was totally professional,very knowledgeable,making Heidi feel calm. This was Heidi’s first full groom as I wanted to keep her with fluffy fur,looking like a teddy bear,but that was a big mistake as she ended up with lots of knots which couldn’t be taken off normally! Julie advised me on how Heidi should be cut & she looked amazing. Highly recommend Julie,great lady

Julie always does a great job on our very excitable Frenchie. He comes back looking very handsome and smelling amazing, highly recommend ❤️

Charlie ran in, he loves Julie so much, he  comes out happy, smelling and looking  lovely .  He was reluctant to come home, its a  real treat for him.

Miley looks amazing.  The only problem is my dog loves ❤️ you to much and doesn't want to leave you. I'm so glad we found you. Thank you so much. 


Fantastic couldn't ask for better and the lady is lovely 

Julie is top notch and takes care of your dog as if it's family. Top notch service always 👌 xx

Julie was recommended to me by my daughter so It was Zeus’s first visit today and he came back looking and smelling so clean & fresh, Julie also gave him a really good deshedding.
Julie was absolutely brilliant with Zeus and she’s definitely got a new best friend in him 😂I highly recommend Heath Charnock Dog Retreat and will be rebooking regular full grooming for my boy💙

Julie did a fantastic job on my 2 little shih tzus. They came home with wagging tails and smelt fabulous. Julie is lovely and very kind to animals - nothing is too much trouble. Thankyou so much 5 stars

Fabulous groom 
Our boy was all neat and smelling great afterwards! 

Rolo is enjoying a nap after his groom this morning. Rolo is usually a nervous boy (first groom with julie) but ran straight up to julie with plenty kisses so i knew he would be in good hands! He smells and looks super clean and the pickup drop off service is very handy! Thanks julie we look forward to our next appointment❤️

Great friendly service, had both my dogs groomed, who looked great and happy and got the cut I asked for, will definitely be returning, thanks 

First time for my pet at the dog retreat but I will certainly be returning, Julie was very professional also made my dog feel welcome as she is very nervous, sent me a video from the start of the groom until she finished, definitely a 5 star x

Wouldn't take bobby anywere else he loves going for his pamper. 

Professional and friendly service every time 
Julie really has a love for her job and your pets.

Larry went for his first groom today and came back absolutely proud as punch, smelling amazing and with the cutest bandana on. He's all fluffy and clean! Love it 💙

Olly 1st cut , we are absolutely delighted with , the care he received and the professional service and attention he received.  He is also very happy, usually has a sulk,  after a cut, but , he's home and doing his normal stuff. 

I have had both my dogs groomed by Julie and am over the moon with the service she provides. Both my dogs are nervous in their own way and she put them at ease which is not an easy thing to do. 

They come home smelling gorgeous and loving great. I’m so glad I found her!

Stanley was extremely well looked after and looked great after his grooming. 

Best around bye far , my Hugo (miniature dachshund) loves going his groomers once a month allways comes back smelling Devine too and smells lovely for days too 🥰🐶 and he also adores Julie she is just the best and such a lovely person she really is! 💯 you won’t be disappointed 🤍 xxx

Well, what can I say about the 5 star treatment Ralph has when he  visits Heath Charnock Dog Retreat other than "excellent". You certainly go the extra mile with his grooming. Thankyou Julie 🐾 🐾 xxx

Arthur had another great experience with Julie at Heath Charnock Pet Retreat. Julie is extremely knowledgeable and takes a genuine interest in your pet. She is punctual when collecting and returning your pet and sends photos and updates during their grooming session.  I will be rebooking again soon.

Smelling absolutely divine ! All this at a very affordable price !  Thanks julie  maggie+linda

First groom for our dog and we’ll definitely be back. Julie has a professional set up and our dog has returned looking fantastic - we would definitely recommend the Heath Charnock Pet Retreat!

Amazing service - my 3 cavalier king charles spaniels look and smell beautiful 😍. Would definitely recommend 

First time for teddy with you for grooming pickup on time pleased with grooming did what was asked came back smelling lovely would recommend July to all thanks for doing a really good job 

Olli had his first visit today and came out looking very smart and smelling beautiful. 
Loved seeing the video of him being groomed such a nice touch x

Amazing… always comes back smelling lovely x

Very pleased with Oscars full groom today, collection and drop off service.
Oscar smelt lovely on his return, will definitely recommend .

Fabulous service collected me whilst my mummy was working and returned me smelling and looking delightful. I can’t wait for my next bath. Thanks so much xx

Absolutely love what you done to Nala her groom was great and the little bow and neckerchief was a lovely touch. Thank you so much 

Mollie (cockapoo) has been in for a groom on a number of occasions with Julie and she always comes back looking very tidy, happy and refreshed. I can tell she loves her visits! 

Both my dogs visited for a groom and the service received was fantastic and both dogs smelt amazing, will be using again for sure 👍 

First visit here today and I'm really happy. I asked for a trim and a freshen up and my dog looks and smells fantastic. Will definitely be booking again. Thanks 👍

Julie went above and beyond with our Chorkie, Poppy. She collected her from Bolton for a very small charge & dropped her off after her groom. Poppy is a rescue dog and Julie was very gentle with her, past groomers have struggled to clip her nails but Julie did a great job. Poppy came back looking and smelling amazing! Wouldn’t go anywhere else now, would highly recommend Heath Charnock Pet Retreat! 

My beautiful chow Chow  has been to Julie  today for a wash and blow  and as usual  she  came home looking and smelling beautiful   always great service  picked up and drop off service.   Expert in all breeds.   Thankyou.
