Miss Kiera came for her regular visit today. Sweet Kiera is getting on in years and has possibly had a stroke recently so… sometimes it’s not always about technically correct processes for grooming, but rather what is best and what makes the dogs comfortable. Today Kiera did amazing and stood for her entire bath, but when she returned to the table, she said “Nup! That ain’t happening Sherry! I WILL NOT ADULT AND STAND UP!”. Which was totally fine and actually expected, so Kiera was allowed to get comfy while she was dried and then allowed to remain comfy while she had her clip. The sling was used today to help Kiera have some stability while being required to stand and have legs and feet finished and we think she thoroughly enjoyed being able to flop in the sling but still have her feet touching the table and stand for 5second intervals when she felt like it.
We care about our oldies as much as all of our clients, but sometimes our oldies get that little extra special treatment.
Master Dobby was excited to be at work today! Happy as a pig in mud he was! This morning Sherry made another attempt at returning to work. Unfortunately more rest is needed for the wrist, hopefully a few more days will do the trick, but only time will tell.
Yesterday while at the Gold Coast, Sherry was lucky enough to get squeezed in for an appointment to have a custom splint fitted. Absolutely in love and actually got some REAL SLEEP last night! #dequervainstenosynovitis #dequervains #custommadesplint
Chorizo says ”One simply MUST cuddle the Groomer and throw paw”
Chorizo sang us the song of his people today. He didn’t sing all afternoon, but he does have good tune lol.
Sasha melted in the bath and then proceeded to explode in the salon haha.
What a December! Sorry we couldn’t fit everyone into the video, there are a few missing. Today is our last day in the salon and then we will be closed until 4th January 2023. We are booked out until 5th January 2023 and appointment times are limited so please do book online ASAP. We will NOT answer calls/txt until we reopen next year. Please respect our privacy during this short break. We would like to thank all our clients who have supported our small business over the last 12mths and those who have supported us from the beginning. Without your support, Scooter Booters would not have been able to grow into the amazing little Salon it is today. We are the only Professional Pet Groomers in Dalby and we are proud to be the only Grooming Salon in Dalby with clients from all over the Western Downs and beyond, including some who visit year after year when they travel through town.

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year, stay safe, drink lots (in moderation of course, eat lots and enjoy precious time with family & friends.
Master Benji is home for Xmas and came for his regular grooming visit.
It just had to be done! Sorry Husky lol.
Just got laughs ;) Whiskey actually does think the world revolves around him.
Yesterday we met this guy who was in really bad shape with severe matting. His owner new he had been neglected for at least 6mths and there is no excuse. Today we got this guy back in to finish his groom because we had to send him home unfinished yesterday for multiple reasons. He is now on a two week schedule for a bath and tidy to get him into a routine and also because he needs some training on how to behave correctly while being groomed and also to get him used to the routine that comes with professional grooming. Please brush your dog, matting is extremely uncomfortable and causes pain every-time your pet moves because the matting is pulling on the skin. Regular professional grooming appointments are also a must for any dog. #doggroomer #dalbyprofessionalgroomer #dalbygroomer #supportsmallbusiness #olddognewlook #dalbyslocalgroomer
Today Bruce came in for a much needed makeover. This TikTok sound has been used in fun, and is not intended to offend. It is also not a dog at Bruce’s owner as I have never been called a lazy groomer, but I know of other groomers around the world who have been called lazy for doing what was best for the dog.
