DOGS owners whose pets love to be pampered are being encouraged to take them to see Katherine Jackson.

The 32-year-old, from Stockton, has something for every dog, whether they have long, short, straight or curly hair.

The canine make-overs can also include claw-trimming. Mrs Jackson also applies her skills to cats.

She said: "It is lovely to be able to get rid of dirty, matted fur and make the animal feel comfortable.

"The other day I groomed a poodle which had never been groomed before. It loved it.

"I have always loved animals and feel I am in tune with them. Working with them is wonderful."

In her spare time, Mrs Jackson helps out at the Hope animal sanctuary, in Loftus.
