Perth pet shop aims to win world record

A Perth pet shop is hoping Fair City dog owners will splash the cash for charity and help them smash a world record.

The Groom Room at Pets at Home is recruiting local dogs to help them take part in a Guinness World Record attempt.

On Saturday, September 16, from 8am to 8pm, Perth’s Groom Room along with 84 other salons in Northern England and Scotland, will compete to beat the current Guinness World Record of 5000 dogs washed in 12 hours across multiple locations.

In order to scrub away the current record, The Groom Room in Perth is searching for hundreds of dog owners to book their dogs into the salon for a £5 wash and dry, with all proceeds going to animal rescue charity, Support Adoption For Pets.

Kimberley Travers, salon manager at Perth’s Groom Room said;“We’re really excited to take part in this Guinness World Record attempt, and with all the proceeds going towards helping homeless pets, it really makes the whole thing worthwhile.

“In order to reach our fundraising target and beat the record, we need to roll our sleeves up and wash 240 mucky pups in 6 minute time slots. It really is a challenge but we’d love for local dog owners to help us scrub up and reach both of our goals.”
