Ky Finch, 32, and Frankie Rawlings, 24, said their dog groomers in Clacton has been so successful they decided to open a second one in Dovercourt.

The pair, from Clacton, have named their second pooch parlour Topknot 2 Tails, which is based in Dovercourt High Street.

Ky said: “We have such a good reputation.

“We just opened in Dovercourt High Street and the response has been amazing.

“We are animal lovers as well as dog groomers with over 30 years experience between us.

“We have dedication, knowledge, skills and the time and we want to let everyone know we are here.

“The new business was expected to open two to three days a week but we have worked five days a week.”

The pair work with an apprentice and a part time receptionist.

They opened their first grooming parlour dedicated to their rescue dog Poppy called Poppy’s Grooming Parlour in 2016.

Ky said: “Poppy was dumped in a salon eight years ago where Frankie was training and there was an instant connection so Frankie took her home.

“With a lot of training, love and patience they were the best of friends and inseparable.”

They set up Poppy’s Grooming Parlous in a garden shed, but within 12 weeks they needed to to move to a shop.

They now have more than 1,100 clients on their books.
