🐩 Dog Groomer in Dollar, Clackmannanshire

About Dog Groomers

A dog groomer washes, clips, and styles dogs - from a basic bath and brush to breed-specific cuts, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and de-matting.

A good local groomer knows how to handle nervous dogs, keeps a calm environment, and builds a relationship with your pet over time.

Check that they have relevant qualifications or City & Guilds certification, and ask to see the grooming area before booking your first appointment.

About Dollar

Dollar is an attractive hillfoot village in eastern Clackmannanshire, sitting at the foot of the Ochil Hills roughly ten miles east of Stirling, with a population of around 2,700.

The village is best known for Dollar Academy, a prestigious independent school founded in 1818 with a bequest from Captain John McNabb — the handsome neoclassical main building, designed by William Henry Playfair, is a prominent landmark.

Castle Campbell stands dramatically above Dollar Glen, perched on a rocky promontory between two steep ravines — originally known as Castle Gloom, it was the lowland stronghold of the Campbell clan and is now managed by Historic Environment Scotland.

The village has a good range of local shops, a golf course, and excellent access to hill walking in the Ochils, making it one of the most desirable places to live in the county.

About Clackmannanshire

Clackmannanshire is the smallest council area in Scotland by land area, tucked between the Ochil Hills to the north and the River Forth to the south, with Stirling to the west and Fife across the water to the east.

Alloa is the county town and largest settlement, a former brewing centre on the north bank of the Forth, while a chain of hillfoot towns and villages — Tillicoultry, Alva, Menstrie, and Dollar — runs along the base of the Ochils to the north.

The county has a rich industrial heritage: textiles in the hillfoot towns, brewing in Alloa, and coal mining across the lowland parishes shaped the area through the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries.

Despite its small size, Clackmannanshire packs in considerable variety — from the dramatic gorges and hill walks of the Ochils to the flat carseland of the Forth, from medieval tower houses to Victorian mill architecture.

The area is well connected, with the A91 running along the hillfoot corridor and rail services from Alloa to Stirling and onward to Glasgow, making it a practical base for commuters working across the central belt.
