Professional dog grooming and dog boarding in Essex

Rascals Resort is a family run business, set on a large plot in Braintree, Essex.

Hi I'm Sam and I live here at Rascals Resort with my family. We have lots of fun playing in the garden. I love playing with my family but best of all I love meeting new friends.

Rascals Resort is set on an acre plot so there is lots of space to run around in. There are lots of trees to smell, bushes and bracken to rummage and hide in and squirrels to chase. There is so much fun waiting for you at Rascals Resort so if your family is planning a holiday or day trip and can't take you with them, then why not come and stay with me and my family. I would love to meet and play with you.

Throughout your stay, you will receive lots of exercise and interaction during the day and will finish the day with lots of cuddles and fuss before retiring for the night.

Pampered Paws

Whilst you are here, why not book in for a groom and return home feeling refreshed and smelling great! It’s not called Pampered Paws for nothing. My owner, Paula carries out all the grooming herself and will pamper you from head to tail and make you feel on top of the world. She uses top quality shampoo and conditioner and will give you a fantastic back massage. You can choose to have a clip down, handstrip or de-shed depending on your individual requirements and finish your session with a relaxing blow dry. You’ll feel so relaxed you will leave with your paws floating on air.

So if you're not getting the hugs you want because you're in need of a good haircut and a refreshing bath; or if the hoover keeps chasing you because your hair is getting everywhere, then don't delay call Pampered Paws today! Whether it’s just a bath and pamper or the full works, there's a service to suit you. You'll look and smell so good, you'll be fighting off the cuddles.
