Full Property Description:
The Mutt Hut is my little dream come true. Dogs are my life and I own my very own XL Bully called Loki. He is five years old and is the most amazing dog.
I groom Loki regularly, so he knows every step and takes it all in his stride. I have also groomed the odd XL Bully here and there, but not many — I want them all!
My Facebook page is available to view and I have insurance to groom XL Bullies, which I can provide if needed.

For Our Four Legged Guests:
XL Bullies are welcome.
Jess is fully insured to groom XL Bullies.
Grooming appointments are carried out one-to-one, creating a calm environment with no other grooming appointments taking place at the same time.
Owners must provide a copy of their dog's exemption certificate before their appointment.
Exempted dogs must arrive on a lead and wearing a muzzle.
Once inside, if Jess is the only person present and there are no other dogs or members of the public in the shop, she is permitted to remove the muzzle and allow the dog to move around freely.
This quieter environment is something many larger grooming salons are unable to offer.
Toys, treats and fresh water are available during appointments.
Services include bathing, drying, styling, deshedding, nail clipping and teeth cleaning.
Jess can accommodate up to two dogs.
Reactive dogs may be suitable, but Jess would prefer to discuss each dog's individual needs before booking.

Meet The Owners
My name is Jess. I'm 36 and have been running my own grooming shop for two and a half years.
I have a five-year-old XL Bully called Loki. He is a gentle, well-behaved, amazing, lazy beaut who I love more than anything.
I absolutely love my job — it brings me so much happiness. Anyone with an XL Bully is utterly welcome in my shop, and I am so excited to meet more!

XL Escapes Peace Of Mind Promise
Every business you see on XL Escapes has confirmed to us that they welcome XL Bullies.
Before being listed, we ask the questions we'd want answered ourselves — from real experience living and travelling with XL and reactive dogs.
That includes confirming they are happy to host XL Bullies, that their listing details are accurate, and that they've considered their own legal and insurance responsibilities.
We don't assume. We don't guess. We ask — and they confirm.
If anything changes or a business doesn't stand by what they've told us, we take it seriously.
If a business listed on XL Escapes turns you away because of your dog's breed, contact us. We will review it, remove them if necessary, and refund your membership.
