Welcome to K8’s Short Bark N Sides – Professional One-to-One Dog Grooming

More Than Just Grooming

Groom & Play – The Perfect Add-On for Happy Paws!

Make your pup’s grooming day even more special with our Groom & Play add-on – just £10 for an extra hour of fun! Your dog will enjoy supervised socialising and playtime before or after their groom, giving them the chance to burn off some energy, make new friends, and feel right at home.

Want to take it up a notch? For just £3.50 extra, we’ll include some tail-wagging enrichment:
Mental stimulation with lick mats, snuffle mats, and puzzle toys
A tasty puppachino or delicious treats to take home
Engaging sensory play to keep curious minds happy

Perfect for keeping your dog relaxed, enriched, and excited to visit again!

We also have an in-house Doggy Deli filled with a wide selection of delicious, natural treats — perfect for rewarding good boys and girls. You can shop our treats in-salon or online, with free delivery in the CF38 area, Click & Collect, and postal options available. Visit our Doggy Deli section for more!

Conveniently Located

Our peaceful home salon is nestled between Cardiff and Llantrisant, just a 10-minute drive from Junction 34 of the M4 (Miskin Interchange). We’re also a short walk from local transport links from Pontypridd, Talbot Green, Pontyclun, Tonteg & Churchvillage, with free on-road parking right outside the salon.

Why not drop your dog off for a pamper session while you explore nearby retail parks, garden centres, or enjoy a coffee break. While your dog enjoys a spa day, you can enjoy a little “me time” too.

A Calm, Safe Space for All Dogs

Brachycephalic breeds (flat-faced)

Anxious or nervous dogs

Rescue dogs

And everything in between

At K8’s Short Bark N Sides, we’re as passionate about your dogs as you are. Whether it’s their first groom or their hundredth, we’re here to make the experience as positive and enjoyable as possible.
