Hello and welcome to Pampered Pooches — we’re so happy you’re here. My name is Vendula, but many people know me as Wendy. I started using this nickname years ago, so you’ll hear and see both names — they’re both me!
My husband is Pav, and together we have been running Pampered Pooches dog grooming in Launceston since 2014. What began as a small, cute hobby has grown into the wonderful business we are so proud of today. Our journey started in a tiny wooden shed at the back of a car park in the Garden Centre. A few years later, we upgraded our premises, and now you can find our dog grooming salon in Launceston’s Greenaways Business Complex — a calm, welcoming space created with dogs in mind.
Pav is a fully trained preparation assistant and excellent dog handler, and he also takes care of all our social media and digital work — from photos and videos to recordings and online presence. Quite simply, we couldn’t do this without each other. Because we are the business — we are Pampered Pooches.
That said, we do have a boss… His name is Balthazar, our beautiful Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and he is officially the salon’s CEO. He carries out regular smell checks and keeps standards very high!
The true founder of the salon, however, was Candy — the most beautiful four-legged girl we have ever known. Sadly, she became an angel, but she was the real reason this business was born, and her spirit lives on in everything we do.
Whether you’re looking for a professional dog groomer in Launceston, Cornwall, or simply want the best care for your best friend, we would be honoured to be part of your dog’s grooming story — pampering your most precious friends with care, patience, and love.
Lots of love, Vendula, Pav & Balthazar

Highly recommended, Wendy is lovely, friendly & professional, we were so pleased with the attention & care our boy received, he looks & smells amazing, I was quite emotional. Highly recommended #5stars
Wendy and Pav are absolutely brilliant with my pups. I have 2 border terriers which are hand stripped and a Sprocker spaniel that we have trimmed. Love the new salon :) Always very pleased with their grooms, we wouldn’t send them anywhere else!!
Wendy did an AMAZING job on my flatcoated retriever getting ready for a Champ Show. She knew exactly what to cut and what to leave and the end result was admired by everyone at the show. And Wendy — she came 1st in her class and qualified for Crufts. Thank you so much!
