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.
