Pet care business, Cloe Clips, travels to pets in Suffolk

Cloe Merrells has started her own mobile pet care business, Cloe Clips, and travels to Beccles and the surrounding areas to help out nervous pets.

Her business offers a range of services for dogs and cats, and even rabbits and guinea pigs.

These include anxious dog haircuts and nail clippings for dogs, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs and also ear cleaning dematting, deshedding, and grooming for cats and dematting and deshedding for rabbits and guinea pigs. 

Ms Merrells started Cloe Clips to help "older people who can't leave their homes and anybody with anxious pets".

She advertises her business as an “alternative to mainstream grooming” where she has “more time with the animals than other groomers”.

She added that this is to help reduce the stress for both the animals and the owners.

Ms Merrells said she understood that when a pet becomes anxious, “it makes the owner anxious too”.

One of Cloe Clip's clients (Image: Cloe Merrells) Prior to running Cloe Clips, she worked in a veterinary practice for ten years. 

Ms Merrells said: “When I did my grooming certificate, I could see the environment was stressful for a lot of the dogs."

"I have met so many pets over my years working in practices who are just so terrified of being left by their owners."

She knew she wanted to do something different, so the main aim of her mobile business is “trying to keep everyone calm” with a “different and soft approach”.

Since starting her business, she said: "It's been really lovely."

"There has not been many pets I haven't been able to help," she added.
