Scruffy to Fluffy
Scruffy to Fluffy is a dog grooming and spa business in Taibach, Port Talbot. The owner needed support to renovate the space and buy the tools needed to open.
The UK Shared Prosperity Fund helped remake the place. It paid for the tools that mattered inlcuding, grooming tables, blasters and a bath.
The business now offers high quality grooming and spa services and aims to grow its client base. The owner urges anyone with a business idea to contact Neath Port Talbot Council for support.
