Two sisters have set up a dog grooming salon in Thornbury.

Lauren and Poppy Seager had a soft opening of Shampooches this week and will be fully open from Monday.

The pair are both dog owners with Poppy having run a dog walking business.

They were inspired to set up the business after struggling to get an appointment for their own dogs in the town's other salons.

"We saw a gap in the market and thought why not go into business together.

"We thought it would be an interesting venture for us," said Lauren.

Shampooches is located at 14 St Mary Street, in between Hawkes House and the British Heart Foundation charity shop.

The salon caters for all breeds and sizes.
