About For Your Paws Only

Hi, I'm Holly — and every dog I meet is treated like my own

I'm Holly, and I run For Your Paws Only from Martock. I started grooming because I genuinely love dogs — all of them, even the wiggly ones, even the ones who'd really rather be somewhere else. I take real pride in making every visit feel calm and safe, especially for dogs who find grooming a stressful experience.

I specialise in working with nervous and anxious dogs. I've had the privilege of helping dogs who once needed a muzzle to get through a groom leave feeling relaxed and settled — and that means everything to me. I take things at their pace, never rushing, always patient, always kind.

Whether your dog needs a full groom, a bath and blow dry, nail trimming or teeth cleaning, I'll take great care of them. Get in touch to book your dog in — I'd love to meet them.

Testimonials

What Our Customers Say

Holly is absolutely fantastic and Gerald loves going to see her. He can be very nervous and she's always been so kind and patient with him. He always comes out with an amazing haircut & smelling gorgeous! I wouldn't use anyone else, she is amazing!

Verified Google review

Holly is absolutely incredible. She has worked wonders with my clumber/springer spaniel. Due to her nervous nature we were struggling to find a groomer who would be willing to take her on but Holly is patient, kind and worked so hard with her, she now completes her grooms without a muzzle. I can’t recommend Holly enough.

Verified Google review

Holly is amazing! She’s cleaned our dog’s teeth and trimmed their nails and it’s made such a big difference. Our dogs are always very happy and relaxed with Holly, which reflects the quality of her care. We wouldn’t use anyone else - 100% recommend!
