Dedicated dog groomer spends £2,000 each MONTH giving her beloved pets manicures, fur extensions and 'furjazzles'

Barking mad dog groomer Daniela Forshaw is so obsessed with her pets she spends £2,000-a-month ‘furjazzling’ them with manicures and fur extensions.

Daniela, 37, dedicates her life to her five dogs - Coco and Mia the greyhounds, Harry the Beagle, Mulan the miniature poodle and her favourite pup Venice the poodle.

She has her own grooming parlour where she spends her time dying and trimming their fur, and even matches their nail polish and outfits to her own.

The dog owner cuts and dyes their fur into anything from rainbows, tiger stripes, and ostriches and even has extensions put onto their tails.

Her spoilt pooches have their own wardrobes where they have custom-made tutus, rain coats, life jackets and even Ugg boots.

Daniela and partner Mike Forshaw, 42, have even decided not to have children because their dogs are like five human babies.

She said: ‘My dogs are with me all the time. They're the centre of attention, 99 per cent of people say positive things but people do comment and say it's not to their taste.



'But a lot of people feed their dogs too much or don't walk them enough. I may dress mine up but but my dogs are the best kept dogs in the country.

'My dogs don't have much dog food at all, they aren't over fed. They are walked a lot and they enjoy being pampered to the extreme.

'I have had to massively cut down on spending on myself because so much goes on them.

'It's around £2,000 and it's hard because dog grooming doesn't really make that much money but I don't care.



'Having the dogs is just like having five human babies and people spend a lot of money on their children.

'I don't care how much money I spend, they come first.

'They are massively spoilt but at the end of the day I don't have kids and we are happy the way we are.'
