📌 UPDATE - Due to an injury I sustained on October 7th, I have had to cease grooming to allow my hand time to heal following surgery.
Today I visited my surgeon for scheduled suture removal, with the hope of tomorrow jumping back into what I LOVE doing so much (grooming).
I am absolutely devastated to say that things have not gone to plan, and I am now back in hospital on an Anti-biotic drip to clear up further infection 🤦‍♀️
I have been regretfully working my way through contacting all appointments that were booked in for coming week ahead, fingers (& toes) are crossed that I will get the all clear quickly, but until then, it’s still tools down I’m afraid. 🤞
I would like to sincerely thank everybody for there patience & understanding and hope to be back in full swing asap !!! Xo Bec

⭐️ It is with a great deal of sadness that I have been forced to close due to injury for the foreseeable future. I WILL indeed be coming back to work as soon as I am cleared by the surgeon, but unfortunately the timeframe is unknown as yet. If you have an appointment already booked within the next few weeks, I will be in touch shortly to put you on my wait list & I will prioritise all grooms that have been cancelled due to my injury for ASAP, but I will be playing catch up for awhile, so I recommend anybody wanting a groom over summer jump online and book in for JANUARY now, just to secure your spot well ahead of time. I thank all of my existing and future clients for your patience and support. Much love ❤️ Bec
P.S - Cat Bites are not something to muck around with, seek treatment asap or those initial 2 tiny puncture wounds could turn into something much worse far sooner than you may think 🥺

✨ After careful consideration, I have made the difficult decision to alter my pricing structure moving forward.
When I opened my little salon back in November of 2022, I tried to keep it simple with 2 prices - dogs under 20kg & dogs over 20kg. Unfortunately this isn’t sustainable as there are many different variables in grooming, such as a dogs size, behaviour, coat type & coat condition. There will now be 5 categories with slight increases in pricing dependent on dogs size (weight).
✨ Matting Fee- Particularly at this time of year, many clients are requesting a longer haircut to tidy up the coat but maintain warmth over these cooler months. However if there are many knots or matts in the coat, I need to carefully brush these out before a long clipper blade can glide through. This is really quite time consuming, so an additional charge of $10 per 10 minutes may now apply in some cases, to allow for extra brushing time (if required).
✨Please take a moment to have a look through the new changes below & I am confident that my amazing & supportive clients (I feel incredibly lucky to have!) will understand the need for these to occur, in order to sustain this little one woman show I love so much ! 🐾

My deepest apologies to anybody that this will inconvenience!

🐣 If your dog is anything like mine, they may have snuck more than their fair share of tasty treats this weekend 🙈 Most people know that chocolate can be toxic for dogs but DONT PANIC … I have some Egg-cellent facts that may surprise you! 👇
🐰 Dark Chocolate is FAR worse for dogs than Milk Chocolate. And White Chocolate is not necessarily toxic at all, due to the absence of cocoa, which is the ingredient that contains theobromine, a compound that dogs cannot break down in their system the same way that humans can, leading to an overstimulation of the nervous system.
🐰 The darker the chocolate, the more cocoa (theobromine), the greater risk of negative side effects.
🐰 A 35kg dog would need to consume about 1.4kg of milk chocolate; to be potentially harmful.
🐰 A 5kg dog would need to consume about 250 grams.
🐰 Although it’s ideal for dogs to not eat chocolate at all, they would have to eat a WHOLE LOT to become seriously unwell.
🐣 If your dog gets into a few chocolate treats over Easter & you are concerned, check out the link in the comments, for a handy calculator that may put your mind at ease.
👉 And if you’re still not convinced, check out this article from “The Bondi Vet” also linked in the comments 🤩

This is my own beautiful fur baby “Sari”. Every day she patiently shares her yard, her toys (and her mum), sitting nearby watching me pamper other peoples pets. She was looooong overdue for some extra special attention so today was finally her turn ! 🫶 💅

How adorable are brother & sister Groodles “Honey” & “Django” !?
This was Honey’s first clip & she was such a good girl ! Lots of pats & play time & of course treats , helps make the whole experience of visiting the Groomers much more fun!
No cages required here, just dogs choice of chilling on the salon couch or plush dog bed, running around the fully enclosed yard or sometimes they prefer to sit right at my feet, watching there sibling until it’s their turn on the table 🫶

🚨 February has been H-E-C-T-I-C !!
You may have noticed The Grooming Room has been very quiet on FB over the past few weeks, but behind the scenes I have been busy striving for a bit of the ever illusive …
👉 Work 👉Life 👉Balance ❗️
Since opening my little home salon 16 weeks ago, I have been so amazingly well supported & hit the ground running with just over 100 pampered pooches through the gate 😻
I absolutely LOVE what I do & I am super excited about the future.
Whilst I have still been busy grooming, this month I tapped the breaks a bit & made sure I took some time out to focus on my other great passions in life (see pictures below👇)
And What is it I do when I’m not Grooming ?! Well … 🧐
👩‍👧‍👦 I’m a Single Mum of 4 kids
🐶 I work 3 days a week as a Veterinary Nurse
A-N-D
🎓 I’m studying towards my Diploma of Vet Nursing
So if you have had some trouble reaching me, I do sincerely apologise. I wear a few different hats & juggle many balls, please do bare with me while I tweak this work life balance thing to find just the right ratio !! 🫶
