Ciara from Dial a Dog wash is…

Ciara from Dial a Dog wash is fantastic. Our two dogs Bobby & Lucy have built a great relationship with her. They are straight out of the door when they see her pull in. She cuts our Doodle perfectly and our retriever absolutely loves the pampering. Ciara is always on time, always checks the requirements and is very caring to the dogs. Dial a dog wash saves us the time bringing them to a groomer, by bringing a great groomer to us! We would recommend Dial a Dog wash but give Ciara 10/10.

Absolutely fantastic service

Absolutely fantastic service from Dial a dog wash Laois & Carlow! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Our dog gets travel sickness so it is super convenient having his grooming done right outside our home in Hacketstown. Sara has been coming to us for about 8 months. She always does a great job with ‘Odie’ & keeps him looking and smelling amazing. She is so gentle, patient, and clearly really cares about the dogs she works with. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a professional, friendly, and reliable dog grooming service! Thank you Sara 🐾

Couldn't be happier with Ciara's work…

Couldn't be happier with Ciara's work in Loughlinstown! My 5 month old Cockapoo had his first groom and he's even more georgous now. She was so gentle with him and what a fab convenience that she comes to you. Benji will be back!

So happy I found Sara !!!

So happy I found Sara! She came right to my door with her mobile grooming van and did all three of my dogs, Cookie (Cockapoo), Teddy (Maltese) and Beanie (Dachshund) which I know is a lot to take on, but she was brilliant with all of them.
They each have completely different coats and she nailed every one. Cookie's curls were beautifully shaped, Teddy was silky smooth and fluffy, and little Beanie looked absolutely adorable. Honestly the best they've looked in ages, and they smelled amazing too!
What really stood out was how calm they all were afterwards. Anyone with dogs knows that's a good sign they were well looked after. And the fact she comes to you makes life so much easier! No stressful car trips, which I think made a big difference for them.
You can tell Sara genuinely loves what she does. Will 100% be booking her again, can't recommend her enough!

A fantastic franchise

I have been a franchisee since 2011 in the UK and I was promoted in 2018 to become a trainer to train franchises starting out in the UK and Ireland and it's been one of the most rewarding positions I've had. The Dial a Dog Wash support to me from head office has been remarkable and to look after the franchises starting out has both been a pleasure and a privilege. I've met some of the loveliest people and would highly recommend and look forward to training many more lovely people in many years to come. The ongoing support from dial a dog wash head office to me as a trainer gives me the expertise and knowledge I need to pass onto everyone I train. A great team to be a part of.

I was the first franchisee in Ireland

I was the first franchisee in Ireland, and got to grow a and learn with Dave and Diane,they were both excellent to deal with in every way, of course over the ten years I worked with Dial a dog Wash there were ups and downs, but I found Dave to be easy to deal with and very professional in all dealings.
There is no doubt that provided you work hard you can make substantial money.
I retired from the business about six years ago, but I still attend the annual AGM in the UK,and stay in touch with Diane and Dave, I would have no hesitation in recommending this Franchise.

DONT FALL FOR SLIMEY DAVES FALSE PROMISES

Don't fall for the promises of easy money! System is cheap and not a positive experience for operator or the dog.

Bless you Danny, - You gave great feedback and advice to existing franchisees who joined us, before your pre existing allergy to dogs manifested worse after interacting with dogs, and earned an incredible amount of money in that short time you were a franchisee with us, we use your journey with us as a testimonial to the business to all new franchisees, and direct them to this site to see your anger at your misfortune, as everyone can see there is no case legally, so you are taking your anger and bitterness out on this platform. Genuine enquiries who come to meet me, like yourself tend to join, and go on to make a great living. Again I'm so sorry your allergy to dogs ruined your career in dog grooming. I really hope you do find peace in your life. Once again Take care, Best wishes, Dave

Our best decision ever

We joined the Franchise almost 2 years ago and has been the best decision we ever made.
Since the very first day, Dave and Diane Caddy have been clear and helpful to everything we needed. During my training with both of them, they not just taught me how to work but also every single problem that I could have on my own and many tips. Even so, knowing that I can ask anything at anytime if I need. They have been in touch with us every now and then to see if everything was going good and as expected and giving me advice on how I can improve.
We can't thank them enough for the opportunity they gave us letting us be part of the Dial A Dog Wash family.
Highly recommended as a franchise and as a service.

Take the leap and do it!

I have recently started as a franchise owner in the Dun Laoghaire / Rathdown area and my experience with Dial A Dog Wash has been nothing short of amazing. The constant support and guidance from Dave since Day 1 has been something I am truly grateful for.
Dave has been transparent, encouraging, reassuring and extremely caring towards me and my new venture.

I commenced my dog grooming training with Tasha and with her clear instructions, motivation and the skills she uses daily she has been an incredible mentor. Tasha has educated me the step by step of dog grooming even down to the minute details and has been extremely calm and patient with me.
Tasha has been accommodating in every way possible and I feel extremely confident in every dog I groom because of her.

I’m truly enjoying my experience with Dial A Dog Wash and it’s the best leap of faith I have ever taken.
If you’re considering whether to join Dial A Dog Wash I would encourage you to do so. The perks of having your own business, managing your own schedule but also having the daily support from Dave is priceless.
A big thank you to Dave, Tasha and the rest of the team!!

Jet gives it Full Marks

I have used this service for the last few years and I highly recommend it. Conor is excellent with dogs and my 13 year old Cocker Spaniel Jet, who has always disliked the grooming process gets on great with Conor and so seems to dislike it a lot less now. Its all about the dog and I have no doubt he would give Dial a Dog the 'thumbs up', if he could!!

Majella is outstanding and couldn't recommend her enough

Majella is an excellent groomer and even better person a pure lady who loves and cares for all her furry friends. When majella first met bailey his coat was in a bad way and he was not an easy dog by any means to groom, she took the time and care to make Bailey comfortable again and know he enjoys his grooms with her even if he is still a tad bit stubborn!! I could write an essay on how amazing majella is and it still wouldn't tell you enough! I highly recommend majella to anybody. Thanks for everything from Lyndsey and your furry friend Bailey
