We have some tail-wagging news to share… For The Love of Dog is growing!

This October, we’re opening the doors to our brand-new dog grooming salon in Ringwood – making it our fourth location, alongside Poole, Lymington, and Christchurch.

This is a really special moment for us. What started with a mobile van has grown into a wonderful community of dog lovers across Hampshire and Dorset, and now we can’t wait to welcome even more pups (and their humans!) into the For The Love of Dog family with our new dog grooming salon in Ringwood.

Why Ringwood?

Ringwood has such a vibrant, dog-loving community, and it felt like the perfect next step for us. We know how important it is to find a groomer you can trust – someone who treats your furry family member with as much love and care as you do. That’s what we’re all about.

Our mission has always been simple: to create safe, welcoming spaces where every dog feels relaxed, cared for, and pampered.

What you can expect at Ringwood

Just like our other salons, our new dog grooming salon in Ringwood will offer our full range of services:

• ✨ Full Grooms: from head to tail, your dog will leave looking and feeling their very best.
• 🐶 Puppy Introductions: gentle, positive first experiences to set your pup up for a lifetime of happy grooms.
• 🛁 Bath & Tidy Sessions: perfect for a quick spruce-up between full grooms.
• 🌿 Hand Stripping: specialist care for wire-haired breeds.
• 🦷 Teeth Cleaning: fresh breath and healthy smiles.
• ✂️ Nail Clipping: a simple but essential part of every dog’s wellbeing.

And that’s not all! Across our four salons, we’re making exciting upgrades:

• Fresh new renovations to make your visit brighter and more welcoming.
• A bigger retail range with carefully chosen products, tasty treats, and fun accessories.
• Self-service dog wash machines – ideal after muddy walks in the forest or a splashy beach adventure.

A word from our founders on our new dog grooming salon in Ringwood:

“Over the years we’ve built a really special community of dog lovers in Poole, Lymington, and Christchurch, and now we have the chance to welcome even more wagging tails into the For The Love of Dog family. For us, grooming has never been just about appearances – it’s about your dog’s comfort, confidence, and overall well-being,” said founder Eloise Ansell. “Our team is incredibly passionate about what they do and I couldn’t be prouder of the care and attention they show every single dog who walks through our doors. We know how important it is to trust the people who care for your dog, and that’s something we never take lightly. Our mission is to give every owner peace of mind and every pup a positive, happy experience – and we’re beyond excited to bring that to our new dog grooming salon in Ringwood.”

Founder Luke Ansell adds “from a single van to four salons, opening a new dog grooming salon in Ringwood is an emotional milestone – it’s proof of our remarkable journey and the countless tails we’ve helped wag along the way.”
