🐩 Dog Groomer in Hawick, Scottish Borders

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 Hawick

Hawick is the largest town in the Scottish Borders, sitting at the confluence of the Teviot and Slitrig rivers in the heart of Teviotdale.

It was the centre of Scotland's knitwear and tweed industry for over two centuries — brands like Pringle of Scotland, Lyle & Scott, and Peter Scott all originated here.

The annual Common Riding is one of the oldest and most passionately observed traditions in Scotland, commemorating a 1514 skirmish where local youths captured an English flag.

Hawick has a strong rugby culture, a working high street, and a community identity that runs deeper than most towns its size.

The town sits on the A7 about 50 miles south of Edinburgh, with the Borders Railway at Tweedbank extending the public transport reach northward.

About Scottish Borders

The Scottish Borders is the largest council area in southern Scotland, stretching from the edge of Edinburgh and East Lothian in the north to the English border in the south.

It is a landscape of rolling hills, river valleys, and market towns — the Tweed, Teviot, Ettrick, and Yarrow rivers carve through countryside that has been fought over, farmed, and written about for centuries.

Hawick and Galashiels are the largest towns, but the region's character is shaped by a string of smaller burghs — Kelso, Jedburgh, Peebles, Melrose, and Selkirk — each with its own abbey ruins, common riding traditions, or rugby loyalties.

The Borders Railway, reopened in 2015, connects Tweedbank and Galashiels to Edinburgh Waverley, bringing the northern Borders within commuting distance of the capital for the first time in decades.

The region is known for its textile heritage, its abbeys, and an outdoor culture built around hill walking, fishing, mountain biking, and rugby — a place where community identity runs deep and the landscape is never far away.
