Short, Bark and Sides is popping up in London for just two days in December and it offers dog owners the chance to enjoy being pampered with their pet at their side. Some of the services offered to visitors include polish/paw trim and clip; or a wash and bouncy blow-dry/fur-facial, or the spritz and paw-dicure, and all the while, the experience is enhanced with complimentary prosecco for people and pawsecco for pets.
Pet owners and their pets will not only walk out feeling their best, they will also get the chance to share their special memory in the form of a digital Christmas card. This pop-up comes from Wisdom Panel, the provider of comprehensive pet DNA tests, based on findings that say 80% of dog owners prioritize their pet’s grooming.
