A special charity dog wash event is set to take place this weekend.
Five dog grooming businesses are joining forces in Llanfyllin tomorrow (October 18) to raise money for the Kennel Club Charitable Trust’s Canine Cancer Appeal.
Woofterz Dog Grooming in Llanfyllin is bringing together groomers from across Mid Wales and Shropshire for a special community fundraising event, with dog washing, nail trimming, canine therapy sessions and a fantastic raffle featuring prizes donated by local businesses from 10am until 4pm.
Jules Sandy and Martin Bradley who run Woofterz will be joined by groomers from Complete Pet Care in Llansantffraid, Nose to Toes Dog Grooming in Welshpool, Laura’s Canine Cabin in Tregaron and Tracy’s Dog Shack in Shrewsbury.

No appointments will be necessary for anyone who wants to bring their dog along for the day, with wash, dry and nail trimming available for £20, or nail trimming alone for £10.
In a statement released by Martin and Jules from Woofterz, they said: “We’re incredibly grateful to the four groomers who are travelling to Llanfyllin to help us, and to all the local businesses and clients who have donated such wonderful raffle prizes.
“Dogs mean so much to all of us, and we know how devastating a cancer diagnosis can be for families.
“We would love to see the whole community come together on Sunday. Whether you bring your dog for a wash, pop in for a nail trim, buy a raffle ticket or simply make a donation, every bit of support makes a difference.
“There’s no need to book – just turn up and help us make this a fantastic day for a really worthwhile cause.”
A “fantastic selection of raffle prizes” has been donated by businesses and individuals supporting the cause.
These include a £16 hair voucher from Haylo, a £25 voucher from Eagles Chip Shop, a £20 voucher from Bean & Banter, a £5 voucher from Molly’s Sweets in Welshpool, and a meal for two at the Cain Valley Hotel.
Other prizes include dog treats from Nose to Toes, a large dog hamper from The Dog Shack, gifts from Five Baby Elephants and Wishing Well, jewellery donated by Marie Merrick, and a selection of other prizes generously donated by clients and supporters.
Visitors can also enjoy something to eat or drink at nearby dog-friendly establishments, including Bean & Banter café directly opposite Woofterz and The Cain pub.
