A young, independent, fully-insured Ltd salon on Stockport Road, run by Kayleigh. Patient grooms, confident finishes, every breed welcome — including the nervous ones.
K9 Services MCR is the product of one young Mancunian's obsession with doing dog grooming properly. Kayleigh Anne Davis incorporated the business in November 2024 as a limited company, set up the salon at 1019 Stockport Road, and started building a reputation that now sits at 4.8 stars across 123 reviews.
This isn't a chain. It's a contemporary, fully-insured salon where every dog is handled by the owner herself — with the patience to take things slow when a dog is nervous, and the skill to get a breed-accurate finish on everything from a Mini Schnauzer to an Aussie Shepherd.
From a quick tidy-up to a full breed-standard finish — all eight services are performed in-salon by Kayleigh, one dog at a time.
Bath, blow-dry, breed-specific cut, nails, ears, finish. The complete salon experience, one dog at a time.
Deep clean with breed-appropriate shampoo, high-velocity blow-out, fluff finish — coat feels brand new.
Careful trim and smooth file — painless, quick, and great for dogs who struggle with standalone nail appointments.
Gentle plucking and canal clean — vital for drop-eared breeds and dogs prone to infection.
Hygienic expression performed discreetly during the groom — prevents the scoots and the smell.
Tidy-up of sanitary area and under-paw hair — cleaner, safer grip indoors, fewer messes after walks.
Intensive coat mask treatment — perfect for doubles, curlies, and dogs with dry or sensitive skin.
Gentle facial clean and teeth brushing — fresher breath, cleaner tear-stains, cuddles approved.
The "K9 Services" name isn't an accident. Kayleigh is building a multi-service dog care brand for Manchester — grooming now, with training and daycare planned. Get on the list early.
A snapshot of the daily work — every coat type, every breed, every personality.
The number doesn't lie. Here are five voices from Manchester dog-owners who trust Kayleigh.
"Kayleigh is honestly incredible with our rescue. He's never been comfortable at groomers and she took her time, no rushing, no stress. Came out looking smart, tail wagging. Finally found the one."
"Our mini schnauzer Mabel has been going to Kayleigh since she opened. Breed standard every time — eyebrows, beard, the lot. Before and after photos look like a totally different dog. 10/10."
"Clean, modern salon, proper Ltd business, and Kayleigh really knows her stuff. Our Aussie shepherd's coat has never looked better — and he actually enjoys going now. Best groomer in south Manchester."
"Booked in for a first groom for our anxious cockapoo. Kayleigh met us outside, explained everything, took her time. Two hours later he was a different dog. We'll never go anywhere else."
"Fantastic value and a brilliant job. Kayleigh runs this place properly — insured, Ltd company, serious attention to detail. Our two come out looking like totally different dogs. Loads of compliments afterwards."
Yes — it's one of the things the salon is best known for. Kayleigh always takes time with nervous dogs, goes at their pace, and breaks the groom into smaller sections if needed. For seriously anxious dogs, we can schedule a short "hello" visit first to build confidence before the first proper appointment.
Just your dog on a lead and a heads-up on any medical needs, allergies, or anxieties. If your dog has a preferred brush or treat, feel free to bring it. We'll do a short consultation on arrival to lock in the style and coat plan before we start.
Most full grooms run between 1.5 and 3 hours depending on breed, size, and coat condition. Heavily matted coats or anxious dogs may take longer — we never rush. You'll get a realistic time estimate when you book.
Yes — from teacup breeds to big doubles, and everything in between. We have specialist experience with Miniature Schnauzers, Australian Shepherds, Cockapoos, Poodle crosses, and terriers, and we'll always groom to breed standard (or the style you prefer).
Pricing is based on breed, size, coat condition, and the services you need. We'll give you a clear, honest quote before you book — no hidden extras. Call 07805 036963 or drop a message through the form and we'll come back with a price the same day where possible.
It varies by coat. Doodles, poodles, and non-shedding breeds usually benefit from a full groom every 6–8 weeks. Double-coated breeds tend to work on a 10–12 week cycle with blow-out maintenance in between. We'll recommend a schedule tailored to your dog at your first visit.
Salon-based in Levenshulme, regularly welcoming clients from across the city.
