** WE ARE ALWAYS HAPPY TO WELCOME NEW CLIENTS AT ARNIE’S, PLEASE CONTACT US TO GET BOOKED IN! **
Fast forward to the present day and Hannah has built Arnies of Essex into an award winning salon, completed a full refit of the building, set up a retail area and has put together the most amazing team that anyone could wish for.
Arnie’s of Essex is truly is a luxury dog groomers. We are so proud of our little business and will always strive to make it the very best it can be. Every dog that comes into out salon is treated as if they were our own, and we wouldn’t have it any other way! Quite simply our passion is dogs!
The Salon
The salon has undergone a massive refit in recent years which has included a new covid safe entrance, a refurb to the dog grooming area and a revamp of the reception area which has allowed us to have our doggy store!
Aside from this we have introduced additional picket fence pens to ensure no dog is caged whilst on site.
All equipment we use is high end salon equipment that is regularly serviced and maintained. Your dogs really are our number one concern. As a result of this no expense has been spared to make sure we have the best equipment and that the best products are used on your pooches.
The Arnies of Essex Team
Here at Arnie’s we aren’t just work colleagues, we are best friends too! We work together every day and love what we do. This helps contribute to the relaxed ‘spa like’ atmosphere every dog will experience when they come in for their pamper.
We currently have a team of 5 working in the salon and each member is vital to ensure the smooth running of the business. All our groomers are very highly qualified and between us we have over 40 years’ experience in grooming.
Its fair to say the Arnie’s team is obsessed with dogs which is why this business works so well. Between us we have 12 dogs of all varying breeds from a pug to a Golden Retrievers and everything in between.

Really not happy with my dogs cut asked for a trim and hes been shaven soo short round his body but long hair on his tail and head still.. I feel like ive been robbed of 50 quid to make my dog look completely ridiculous

The girls here were so lovely. It was only for a much needed nail trim, but they fit my dog in within the hour. With ease they fixed his curly dew claw so quickly & comfortably which another groomer refused to do previously. Highly recommend 🥰

Generally, I've been happy with the groom my dogs have had. They always look good and smell lovely. The girls clearly love the dogs they groom.
However, be insistent on what want. I had insisted NOT to clip my Cocker Spaniel’s back. This was not observed, and his once soft, silky, smooth haired back is now course and wirey!! My instructions were not followed. 🥲

Took my dog in for teeth cleaning. Wow, super quick and her teeth look great! Really appreciate that they told me that my dogs teeth were really healthy and that I didn't need to come back. They could have easily tried to make a few extra quid by selling me products and recommending follow ups etc but they actually charged me only half the usual rate because it was such a quick treatment. They clearly care about the dog's wellbeing greatly. Thank you!

If I could do it wouldn't of given 1 star.
Just picked up our Teddy after grooming. Nothing has been said on his previous visits but now they say he is having problems and tho his not viscious or trying to bite they have someone to hold him. If we take him again they will want to charge us more, £60 instead of the usual £48, so be aware if they think your dog is a problem to them.
His tail has never been cropped so close before and he hasn't got his plume anymore. Not happy customers!
Teddy the cockapoo will not be returning!

The best dog groomers. We travel from South Essex to bring our dogs here. Wouldn’t go anywhere else. Attention to detail, customer service, value for money and end result are all second to none! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Just collected our dog from having his first groom at Arnies. Previously tried 4 other groomers in Witham and without a doubt Arnies are the best. Thank you so much for such a professional job, we'll definitely be back x

I'm really disappointed with my first groom with Arnie's of Essex.
After reading all the good reviews we were hopeful that we'd found a local groomer.
Our experience has been far from good.
I'll attach pictures for reference. Our cockapoo was shaved right down to the skin under his arms using the wrong attachment. When I contacted them they said they weren't sure what happened.
He was also shaved so close to his privates that he ended up in a vet suit and had to have special cream to sooth the very irritated area. He hasn't been the happy chilled dog he is usually after a groom.
Usually a groom takes 2 hours but he was done in 1 hour 15. He didn't come out with much shape cut into him and he didn't smell like he'd just been groomed.
Arnie's apologised and offered us 10% off of our next groom but we won't be returning.
If this was the 1st groom where you'd expect them to try to keep your business, I can't imagine what it would be like going forward.
Booking with them was really easy and staff were friendly but the groom is the most important factor for us so we were left disappointed.

Used to be good now run by kids who don’t listen to what you want and don’t care. Poor customer care is apparent from as soon as you walk in the door. Needs to get back to basics. Have spoken to several other dog owners who not happy and not gojng back. Nor will we

Booked our dog in for a groom over a week ago, she still smells like she has just walked out of the parlour. We have been to a few different groomers and have found this one to be slightly on the pricier side however the only place we have been too where she has still looked and smelt like she had just been to the groomers weeks later.. So worth it in the respect!

I booked 6 weeks in advance and had a house move and forgot about my appointment. They apparently take a deposit which didn’t happen, plus this Dog groomer have a policy of texting 24 hours before the appointment but didn’t send a reminder text and when i queried this all I got wasI an excuse of, ‘oh it probably just got forgotten or didn’t go through’ but still charged the cancellation fee of £20. On querying this on the phone i was told ‘well it’s in our policies and on social media’. I’m sorry arnies dog groomers but stick to all of your policies and not the ones that suit! Hasten to add I will not be bringing my dog to this groomers it’s all about money.

I have often visited Arnie’s to pick up and drop of my daughters dog Lola. The staff are very friendly and Lola gets really excited when we arrive which I take to be a very positive sign. They know exactly how my daughter likes her groomed and she always comes out looking stunning, happy and smells wonderful. I would highly recommend and I’m pretty sure Lola would too.

I took my jack Russell teddy in today for his first cut, OMG I cannot thank Arnie’s enough they did an amazing job, he came back a different boy, cuteness overload, so handsome. I can’t recommend them highly enough you honestly won’t be disappointed with the service they give. Certainly pamper your pooches. And they smell divine. Well done guys keep up the good work.

Finally found a dog groomer that actually listens to what you’d like. My Cockapoo is always happy to return to Arnies which is a good sign in itself. Attention to detail on each groom he’s had been using them for over a year. Communication is always good, the girls at the salon are super friendly to both human and dog. Would high recommend. Happy repeat customer!

I've been taking my Jack Russell and Italian Greyhound for years now. They are truly the most reliable and professional dog groomers I have ever come across. Hannah and her team are extremely friendly and welcoming, during Covid their hygeine protocols were excellent and the natural treats and products in the retail section are well thought out. This is an excellent example of a top quality business!

Never knew they were there right on my doorstep! I've taken my dogs to various groomers over the years but never found one I've been completely happy with. But Arnies was perfect, my dog looked beautiful after his full groom i was sooooooo happy and he seemed quite content when i left him and when i collected him which was down to the lovely staff. Will use them from now on and highly recommend them to anyone.

They get my girl's groom right every time and genuinely seem to love the dogs. The best groomer in the area in my opinion.

First time using Arnie's and my puppy and I will definitely be coming back! He's still so soft! A great service from the lovely ladies there. 5*
“This was the first time my Koko and Peggy had ever been groomed. They both came out happy looking so shiny and smelt beautiful. The girls at Arnie’s did an amazing job and their little neckerchiefs were a nice touch.”
