abouT ME
My name is Vickie and I am the owner/founder of Kleen K9.
​
Animals, namely dogs and horses have been played a huge part throughout my life. When I was a tot my family had German Shepherd dogs and Wire Hair Fox Terriers, both breeds being dear to my heart.
​
I now own four dogs, Mason my RSPCA rescue Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross, Bruce the pet Rottweiler and Tre the working Rottweiler who is training for his IGP2. Our newest member of the family is Ruby, who is also a working Rottweiler and is 14 months old and will be contesting IGP later in 2020.
I still own my own horses, a Dutch Warmblood called Snoopy who I compete at Advanced dressage level and Hugo.
​
Hugo was born in May 2016 and was bred by Eva-Marie Broomer in the UK. I bought him at 8 weeks old. Hugo was backed in the summer of 2019 and left to mature once he arrived in France in September. Always up to no good and usually found in a different field most days, Hugo is an escape artist.
​
Stunningly beautiful and very affectionate, I hope he follows Snoopy's hoof steps into the dressage arena very soon.
In my teenage years I showed horses, so bathing, trimming, polishing and plaiting comes natural to me. I love all things “make over” so seeing a dog arrive dirty and a bit scruffy and seeing them leave all transformed is why I just love dog grooming.
After gaining full City & Guilds qualifications, my first salon was set up at home in the UK and when my partner and I emigrated to France in 2019, I brought all of my equipment with me and set up my new salon here. Having owned a dog who appeared to be allergic to pretty much everything, I will only use the very best natural products on the market and I use only natural and organic products to groom your dog too. I also use the top of the range K9 Hydrobath, which penetrates the coat, easily massaging the skin and relaxing muscles as it washes.
I groom fully in accordance with the UK Animal Welfare Act 2006.
​
I have the facilities and experience needed to support and cater for all dogs, including first timers, those who are timid and worries, elderly dogs and big working dogs.
​
The welfare of the dog and customer satisfaction is top priority. I am City and Guilds Qualified and fully insured.

Please do get in touch to discuss your dog's requirements.
