What I do

Comb & Collar is a south east of England based pet care services in the wonderful idyllic setting near the Ashdown Forest designed to care and love your pet as much as you do! I am Laura and I am what you call pet and Dog fanatic! I have worked in police kennels, day-care centres , with the RSPCA and numerous boarding kennels in my past, I also have four of my own high energy dogs which I do competitive  Agility all over the country with.  I offer a wide range of services from Grooming , dog Walking, Training ,home visits, Tailored Day-care and much much more, I tailor make package walks with dogs in groups with similar ages and energy levels, we walk mainly on the forest and use local secure fields where there is room to play, run and have more freedom although careful attention is paid to livestock , and other forest users to limit unwanted attention and ease of stress levels for your dogs for a happier , healthier more enriched dog walking experience. Each pet then has much more one to one time and more care and attention is paid. My grooming services are home ran and offer anything from a basic bath and brush to a full groom, Hand stripping , clipping, puppy cuts and De-shedding. I also offer small animal boarding , as well as home visits from Felines to larger animals such as livestock and Equines, I am level 3 grooming trained where I studied at Brighton college , Worked previously with police dogs and have four Diploma's in dog behaviour training as well as First Aid and puppy CPR. Fully insured with pet plan Sanctuary , DBS checked and registered with the National dog walking association along with an Ashdown Forest walking Licence. I would love for you to contact me with anything further that I can help you with or if you have any further questions. I look forward to hearing from you,  Laura :)

Ever since I  can remember I have always loved animals , as young girl I  was lucky enough to have pets around me and a fantastic family supporting my passion, I started of doing lots of voluntary work both at my local stables and dog walking, this passion evolved and continued after my studying leading to working with horses, dog kennels, groomers and with the police force.  I started breeding and showing rare variety rabbits from the age of 17 and helped return an old breed from extinction by the time I stopped in 2018. My dogs own are all high drive gundogs one is a trained and qualified search and rescue dog, all of them compete in agility to a high level including the international agility festival and Crufts.  I love nothing more than teaching my dogs new things and continue to develop more and more as I get older and continue to study and learn different methods and practices all the time. In 2020 I had the greatest achievement of taking one of my dogs which I bred myself to Crufts.. Wow what an amazing experience that was! AND in 2023 I qualified two of my dogs for the finals at Crufts in the main ring. Basically I am what you call an animal fanatic and love nothing more than spending my time around animals of any shape and size and starting out a business around doing something I love is just the best feeling ever and the dream!
