Another lovely groom by Laura. A very happy, clean and lovely smelling pooch! Thank you xx
Great groom by Laura. It is always lovey coming to the shop. Laura
My little one had his first groom with Laura a few days back. I was recommended by many people before booking and wasn’t disappointed. He came out all pretty, fluffy tailed and smelt amazing. My little man seemed happy and even made a new friend. Great attention to detail and very professional, would recommend.
Thank you Laura for making my dog Truffle look so well groomed and smelling very sweet too! Truff has been to be groomed with you twice now and each time she looks 100% better. Definitely recommend to my friends with dogs. Thank you Laura.
A lovely groom for my dog Nala, she can be quite reactive in new environments but Laura was very calming and great handling her. I will be recommending her. Thank you
Our first visit to Laura and we were very happy with our puppy groom and will def visit with him for his next one
Great groom as per usual for my Cavalier x Yorkie. Thank you Laura
My WCS’s first groom. She was relaxed and happy. She looks beautiful. Will definitely be back. Thank you! .
This was our second visit to Laura, both George & Su came out looking fantastic and smelling divine. They are contrasting in confidence and yet at collection time, the only reason they were staring out of the door was because it was dinner time. Su in particular makes a run for it if she's unhappy and she was content after the whole experience. George just loved hanging out with Laura and Salon Pup. Thanks again! and we'll see you soon.
Poppy looks and smells delightful, as always, following a visit to see Laura. Very happy to leave Poppy in Laura's care, would recommend highly.
Alfie always gets comments about how handsome he is and how great his coat is. Laura keeps him looking good! He’s not the most tolerant of young dogs but this isn’t a problem for Laura, she knows the WCS breed so well and gets him looking his absolute best. Thank you for another great groom, he smells like Christmas!
This was Juno’s second grooming session with Laura. To say that Juno enjoys her grooming sessions would be an understatement, having only been their once before she knew exactly where she was going and dragged me there tail wagging. Juno is an excitable 9 month old Cockapoo who loves all the attention and affection that Laura and her staff show her. She comes out looking so beautiful and fluffy and smelling lovely. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Laura and her salon to groom any dog, indeed Juno is already booked in for her next grooming session already.
Nancy looked and smelt amazing after he trip to Field and Country Grooming! Such lovely people and customer service which certainly put my mind at ease leaving my (sometimes anxious) pup there for the afternoon. Would highly recommend!
Took storm here today, she was a massive floof. Let the lovely team have creative control and they done an amazing job. Her coat is shining and looks amazing. Thank you so much
I have only just moved to the area and my dog Millie is a very nervous dog. Millie has had the same groomer for the last 7 years so changing to a new groomer meant I had to trust they would take good care of her. Laura has been so helpful allowing me to visit without any grooming to build some trust with Millie where other groomers had not offered this at all. I feel Laura has built some trust with Millie and has since had s full groom. Today, Laura gave Millie’s nails a trim and a trim up around her face with no issues at all. Laura shows a lot of patients with nervous dogs and great understanding which has put my mind at rest. Millie will definitely be returning to Laura and the staff very soon.
Our 6-month old Cavapoo had his first full groom and he looks fantastic! We absolutely love his teddy bear cut and Laura was so lovely with him. We will definitely be coming back
Took both dogs to Laura , first appointment. Incredibly efficient & knowledgeable. Fantastic groomer . Thank goodness I found her .
Laura at Field and Grooming has dealt with my very nervous dog on many occasions and has been fantastic at putting Roxy at ease to the point that Roxy will now happily stand there a let her clip her nails. I can’t recommend her high enough. Thank you Laura. X
Laura and Hannah were brilliant with our nervous Sprocker this morning - so patient and kind! This was River’s second groom here and it’s so nice to have found a friendly place we trust!
My new pup Keith had a wonderful first session with Laura. He was totally relaxed and loved the experience. I can highly recommend her.
Thank you Laura for working your magic on Daisy our Shih Tzu turned ewok.Having moved to Hampshire we have had difficulty in finding a groomer who not only is skilled but also genuinely cares about the dogs they groom Daisy clearly enjoyed her pamper and she looks amazing. Thank you.
Thankyou Laura you keep our dogs looking great and Muffin loves the lovely clean teeth from your sonic dental treatment.
Laura is a top class groomer ! My boys have visited her twice now and they look, feel and smell wonderful each time, my boys come out happy and I know that Laura has not rushed to groom them and really cares for them. I highly recommend her.

Out Labradoodle has just had his second groom with Laura and it definitely won’t be the last. Laura takes time to understand your specific requirements as to how you want your dog to look. This was particularly important for us and Laura delivered. She puts the dogs at ease. Great service
I have been taking my very hairy springer spaniel to Laura since she started her business and they come back looking beautiful and smelling wonderful. I would not take my dogs anywhere else.
Laura was recommended to me by my dog walker and she’s brilliant. She’s really good with Roo and he always comes back just as I want but smelling and looking even better than I hoped. Additionally Laura even spotted a possible leg problem. Cannot recommend Laura highly enough.
We took our 6 month old cockapoo puppy to Field and Country grooming for her first groom yesterday. Laura put me at ease straight away and I knew Lily was in safe hands. The groom was exactly how we wanted it, and she smelt amazing! Will definitely be using Laura and the team every time!
We took our 15 month old working Cocker spaniel, Hobie to Laura. He befriended Laura instantly, didn’t pine when we left him ther, and very calm and happy when we returned, I can definitely say Hobie enjoyed his groom. Ii can highly recommend
Laura was recommended to us by many of our neighbours. Our Jackapoo puppy, Sammy had her first visit. Don't know what you did to her, she was super chilled all afternoon ! And smelt very fragrant ! She thanks you for all your care. No doubt we will see you again. Thank you very much. Colin and Deb and Sammy.
Tilly, our cocker spaniel, had a great time with Laura. Now referred to as Tilly Poshpants!
I am so pleased we found Laura, my once scared Mini Schnauzer now deals with grooming very well, once Laura has given her the usual cuddle, all is well. We get a very professional, kind grooming session with Laura and I would highly recommend Field and Country Grooming. Thanks Laura. Jane and Hetty
My two 10-year-old Jack Russells had never been groomed before by anyone except me (badly) but in middle age, they were beginning to get rather shaggy and the hair around the house was awful. Laura clipped them both and they not only look beautiful again but were incredibly excited, leaping around for the rest of the day. Wow. Thank you, Laura
Another wonderful grooming and the girls are very excited again. They really love it and look so beautiful and feel so soft.
Cooper had his very first groom today at 14 weeks. Although apparently very unsure and missing his mum, he did really well. Laura has made a perfect job of him and he smells adorable. Even our cat did a double take when she saw him!! Thanks will definitely be booking again.
Poppy our Sealyham Terrier went to Laura for the first time today. Laura was brilliant and did a wonderful transformation on Poppy who now looks and smells beautiful. Thank you Laura and we'll be returning again in 5 weeks time.
Laura has the patience of a saint … my Giant Schnauzer has been visiting ever since he was a small puppy … now he’s nearly two and bounds In knocking everything flying as he goes , kisses Laura and jumps on the table ready for action … whereas my Airedale takes life a bit more slowly and sensibly!!! Thank you Laura ❤️
Great
Laura was fantastic, as ever, with our working cocker spaniel
Laura was fantastic with my rescue dog. She was patient, calm and very caring. We’ll definitely be visiting her again
Jo Hunt - Laura was fantastic as always with my lively Cooker Poo Max, Recommend her 100%
Excellent service with Laura highly recommend
Laura came highly recommended as I was looking for someone that I could trust to hand strip my wire haired daxy. She had a very calm and caring manner and I felt very at ease and knew Berylnwould be in good hands. She did a brilliant job and I have booked in again for her next haircut!
Laura was fantastic and very patient with my 2 show cockers - one of whom is extremely anxious and can be very talkative! She took her time and did an amazing job with them. I have already booked to return and thoroughly recommend her business.
Laura has been my groomer for past couple of years and I would recommend her. She is fantastic with my dogs and a lovely person. Always I walk out a very happy customer.
Laura was wonderful with my 8 month old puppy and her first groom. Her gentle nature created a calm and relaxed atmosphere and I can thoroughly recommend her.
My GSD mix Padmé has just had her second wash and blow dry with Laura and we’ve had a fantastic experience both times. Padme is a rescue and is both generally a little anxious and particularly hates water. Laura has been amazingly patient with her, adapting her approach as we go so that she isn’t pushed too far beyond a tolerance and making it as a positive an experience for her as possible so that we can lower her anxiety over time. She’s already done much better at her second trip!
It was Ruby's first time with Laura and her first groom and I can not praise Laura enough. She listened to what I wanted, advised where needed and Ruby came out looking and smelling fantastic. Ruby only being 22 weeks old came out with a wagging tail. I would highly recommend Laura for any ones dogs.
