Saturday, February 4 was the groomer's last day in Droitwich before the move to Worcester.

Cat Walker, owner of Petite Paws Only, said she is "really excited" about moving her business to Worcester.

She said: "We have had a lot of success in Droitwich but we are ready for a new chapter in Worcester.

"I am really excited to work alongside Hugo and Ted and help make Reindeer Court even more dog friendly.

"You already have the wonderful Hug and Ted and a dog-friendly cafe in the area as well so it is great to have an area for dog owners in the city centre.

"I also think we are filling a gap in the market as a groomer in the city centre, where people can leave their dogs, do some shopping and then pick them up freshly groomed."

Hugo and Ted also recently moved stores in Reindeer Court to support the buisness's recent expansion.

Charlotte Mosely said: "Since our original opening in Reindeer Court last year, the business has been so popualr we were able to move into a larger unit in Reindeer Court where we are making our own products directly above the shop floor.

"We have also launched a new dog treat company as well called Hugo and Ted Treats, which is available in store for owners to grab their dogs a 'woof and mix' treat selection."
