Dog grooming salon to open on Narbeth high street

A new dog grooming salon is set to open in Narberth, Pembrokeshire, after plans were approved.

Dog groomer Abigail Wooding, of Robeston Wathen-based Kooky Poodle, sought permission for two floors of a retail business with an ancillary dog grooming facility to the rear of the vacant Grade-II-listed 2 High Street, Narberth.

The plan says works to partition off the grooming area and finishing-off room, along with a shop counter, soundproofing and a dog bath had started in May but had not been finished.

Wooding says in the plans: “My books are almost full, and being only a five minute drive from Narberth High Street currently, clients will move with me.

“Most clients are very local, many within walking distance to 2 High Street already and are keen to be able to attend appointments on foot.”

The retail element of the business will be dog focused, but it will not sell dog food, with relevant interiors/gifts.

The application was conditionally approved.
