Dramatic Paws Dog Grooming, Venture Drive, Griffin (2025)

10/12/2024

Today marks 6 months since I opened the big garage door, and welcomed Griffin's fuzzy friends into my tiny home salon!

In that very short time, almost 50 of our community's dogs have visited for a pamper session, with most being return clients on regular schedules. Every time you rebook, you give me the opportunity to keep building a positive relationship with your dogs, which is the foundation that Dramatic Paws is built on - a safe, kind, and supportive environment where dogs are respected and encouraged to be themselves!

As well as helping build a successful business, Dramatic Paws clients have also helped donate almost $500 in pet supplies and free grooms to people doing it tough. Every time you say "keep the change", it goes towards a special little fund that I draw on to help pet parents in need.

Thank you all so much for your support. I promise I see every tag, every review, and every photo. I can't wait to see where the next 6 months takes us 🥰

Happy Halloween! I hope everyone has had a safe and fun evening. Has anyone kept their spooky bows on for the night? 🎃

Spencer came in the other week for his first haircut at Dramatic Paws, and he was a ✨ superstar ✨

The stunning miss Molly came in for her first visit, and was a perfect angel, despite being a bit scared. She was as still as a statue, and gave the best post-groom cuddles.

Let's hear it for our anxious little friends who remind us to slow down and be kind 🥰

Arlo had his first big boy haircut this week, and was so super brave.

Sometimes, puppies can be scared of all the new noises, feelings, smells and touches that come along with being groomed. It's important that they be given the opportunity to navigate these situations with a safe and gentle groomer, but also with a degree of autonomy.

Last visit, Arlo said HECC NO to the blowdrier. I get it - it's noisy and weird. We went suuuuper slow, and eased him into it. As a result, this week he was a champion for it! He knew that if it got to be too much, I would give him a break. The trust we built on his first appointment meant he trusted me enough on the second visit.

Let's hype up Arlo! 💙

FLEAS!

As the weather starts to warm up, we start to see an increase in the number of dogs who have fleas. These little parasites are easy to pick up, even if your dog doesn't hang out with other animals. The only reliable way to make sure that you don't end up with a flea issue, is to make sure that your pups are treated all year with a quality topical or ingestible flea product.

What happens if your flea product fails, and I find living fleas on your dog during a groom? This is a really good question!

The first thing I do, is let you know! Different families have different approaches to how they deal with external parasites, and I believe it should be your choice.

I will offer a flea wash for an additional fee. This will usually kill most of the fleas on the dog. If the dog has a lot of fleas, I will stop the service after the bath, and I will usually ask for the dog to be collected right away.

Why am I so strict?! My salon is a part of my home, and is a space shared with the resident Labradork, as well as Frank the cat. I also have clients with aging dogs, or dogs who can't be given flea medications. For these reasons, it is super important that the salon is flea-free.

If you have any questions about fleas, or about our policies surrounding external parasites, feel free to ask! 😊

APPOINTMENTS!!

I know this is shocking, but we are only a few appointments away from Christmas!

If you haven't booked your next few appointments, you may miss out on the limited spots between now and the holidays. Make sure you and your fuzzy pal are on our schedule! I don't want my regulars to miss out 🎄

"Why is that dog wearing a hat?!"

Sometimes, even with the kindest and most gentle groomers, dogs can still get a bit scared. There's a lot of loud, weird noises from the dryer, the clippers, the nail grinder and....sometimes just from my bad jokes.

Happy Hoodies help quiet some of that noise. We gently fold the ears so the ear canal is closed, and slip the soft, elastic hoodie over the dog's head. The thick material, combined with the light compression, helps them feel safe.

They are one of the many tools Dramatic Paws uses to make sure your pups have the best chance at a stress-free grooming experience.

Shout out to Bruce for being such a sweet model 🥰

This is Muffin.

Yes, Muffin is just as wild and wonderful as her Bluey namesake. She's also one of the most stunning and interesting dogs I have ever worked with.

Fun fact - before Dramatic Paws, I was a certified Dog Trainer! Muffin was in all of my classes, including my Puppy Class when she was a tiny little menace. When I swapped over to grooming, Muffin came along for the ride.

I am so fortunate to have clients like Muffin, whose Mum and Dad have given me their unwavering support.

Thanks for hanging out with me, Muffin 🫶

I love a big makeover!
Albus came in for a big haircut after being newly adopted.

See how well behaved he is? He doesn't p**p on the grooming table.Very demure, very mindful.

Gizmo and Chewbacca came in for a groom, and were the absolute loveliest pups ❤️

Check out the ears on Gizmo! Any guesses as to what breeds she is?

STOP SCROLLING!!
LOOK AT THIS BABY!!!

The absolutely delightful Arlo came for his very first little tidy, and what this tiny pup lacks in size, he for sure makes up for in personality! 😍

One of my gorgeous clients brought me the most beautiful bouquet of flowers last week! The best part? She made it herself! How wonderful is it to be surrounded by so many creative and caring people?

August is a hard month at Dramatic Paws. It marks a whole year since we lost the salon's poster girl, Matilda, who was the most magical Golden Retriever I've ever known (you'll see her photo all over the salon.) Not only was she my personal Assistance Dog, but she was also the very first dog I ever groomed. She taught me patience, she grew my kindness, and she allowed me to take my time and grow before we said goodbye.

Thank you so much Flowers by Ros for this lovely reminder of the kindness and community that we try so hard to foster in the salon 🤍

The ✨ gorgeous ✨ Maggie came in for her very first tidy up, and was the bravest girl!

Just like with young puppies, adult dogs also sometimes need extra time and understanding to make the grooming process as stress-free as possible. At 16 weeks or 16 months, the same care needs to be taken in order to set them up to feel relaxed and comfortable with the grooming process.

Maggie left feeling confident, fresh and smelling lovely 🥰

Little before and after for Mookie's very first visit to a groomer 🥰

Having a groomer who will introduce a puppy to the grooming process slowly and carefully is so important. When we take our time, make the process fun and as stress-free as possible, we set these little darlings up for a lifetime of positive experiences.

Thank you so much, Mookie, for being the sweetest, most patient and brave little girl 🩷

Teddi came in for a winter tidy, and left feeling fresh. Isn't he such a handsome young man?! He has the most loving eyes 🥰

I spent the afternoon with the stunning Elsie, who proved to be a perfect lady on the table 🩷

Not only was she a dream to groom, but she was also a silly little lady who had fun running around in the yard with the resident Labradork.

Thank you so much for a lovely afternoon, Elsie. I can't wait to see you again 🥰

Excuse me, but have you seen how dapper Teddy is?! 😍

Teddy came in for a chilled out, stress-free haircut today. He hadn't quite met his perfect match as far as groomers go, so he needed a little extra TLC. We're hoping he's finally found the salon of his dreams 🥰
