Mucky Pups opened in July 2020 by Emma – a brave decision considering we were in the middle of a global pandemic! Our amazing customers supported us through the first couple of months and we grew bigger and better!
We love seeing all your pets come through the door, even if its just for a chat. We pride ourselves on being a professional friendly service and will help anyone with free advise and recommendations.
In November 2020 we were granted permission from iPET Network to start offering their amazing new qualifications and we are so pleased to say we have successfully supported a number of students through their studies.

Hi, I’m Emma, the owner and founder of Mucky Pups! I have been in the pet care industry for over 12 years, previously a veterinary care assistant. I hold a Level 2 & Level 3 City and Guilds Diploma in Dog Grooming, as well as various other certificates in education, dog handling, bite prevention and canine first aid. I am the head tutor here at Mucky Pups, and hold my AET, PTLLS & Level 4 City and Guilds Licentiateship. My favourite breed to groom has to be the Shih Tzu!

Amie Mole

She keeps the salon running and is always keeping up with our salons high standards. She is such an animal lover, with a variety of dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens, ducks, hamsters and even a tortoise at home!
