About Me

Hi, my name is Angela Grimes and I am the owner / groomer at The Woof
Wash Salon and Boutique. I set up the salon in 2007 and it has been very
well recieved by many local pet owners and my client base is now stretching
out to Wigan, North Manchester and even Chorley as well as my home town
of Bolton. Most of my customers come from recommendations so I must be
doing something right.

I have worked for over 25 years in the animal sector (on and off) and
started my career as a veterinary nurse with Salford RSPCA where I
worked for 8 years. This is where I gained invaluable experience in the
correct handling of all types of animals including very nervous, sometimes
aggressive and neglected pets. I have since worked in the private sector
with vet surgeries, kennels & catteries, stables and farms and have always
had my own menagerie (some of my pets are pictured below) so am well
versed with animals. I have also worked in non animal related employment
where I achieved other qualifications including City & Guilds, ABC
certificate and NVQ's and gained a wealth of experience in business and
marketing.

Due to health problems I had to think about changing my career again so
after a lot of thought and consideration decided to go back to college and
train in dog grooming. I achieved my City & Guilds Level 3 advanced dog
grooming with 'Distinction' and also the St Helens College certificate in
animal care. I also attended a course for microchip implantation and am
now a fully qualified implanter.

I hope this gives you an insight into who is caring for your pet whilst it is
visiting 'The Woof Wash' and I would love to book your pet in for a pamper
session so give me a call, 01204 406758.
