Emily's Story
Emily studied English at university and went on to become a dedicated primary school teacher for six years. But everything changed during lockdown, when she welcomed two puppies into her life, and with them sparked a brand-new passion. In 2022, Emily swapped the classroom for the grooming table, combining her gentle nature, creativity, and love for dogs in a job she truly adores. Emily first started in her home salon, then went on to rent from a salon and doggy daycare.

Megan's Story
Megan's journey has taken her through a wide range of roles; from studying makeup and psychology, to working in care, cleaning and education. While each job taught her something new, she was still searching for something that truly sparked her passion. In 2021, that changed the moment she picked up the clippers and stepped into the world of dog grooming. Megan started her business at home, has rented from 2 salons and also ran her own doggy daycare. As well as being a passionate dog stylist, Megan is a loving mum to Max and dog mum to 4 beautiful pooches.
Our Story
In 2024, Emily came to rent a grooming table at Megan's doggy daycare; a decision that turned out to be the start of something special. They soon realised they shared the same dream; to create a beautiful, dog spa and academy. Their paths had crossed for a reason... and a year later, Pups & Dreams Spa & Academy was born.
For both Megan & Emily, dog grooming has given them purpose during hard times. Our message is simple: follow your dreams; even if it means starting over. You never know where they'll lead.
We can't wait to help you start your journey...
