Information regarding 2024

A few changes are happening this year.

Unfortunately in 2024 I will no longer be accepting new customers with large breeds, the few I currently groom will still have a space however must be booked in every 6 weeks or less.

My hours will be a lot different, at this stage as of 1st Feb, I will be operating during 9-2, last groom must be picked up by 2:30pm sharp as my eldest is now in high school and my other 2 children have moved to a different school further away I need to be able to collect them every afternoon. I will still be offering after hours appointments from 4pm 1 or 2 days a week.

My days will be confirmed in the coming weeks, as I have decided to go back to studying and further my knowledge with animals (pending my acceptance)

Unfortunately I also have to implement a price restructure, this will be occurring from Monday 8th January.
If you come every 8 weeks or less, you will have a small increase only.
Full grooms under a 3f
From Small $85 - Med $100 - large $135
Style grooms eg - poodle/ teddy bear grooms do differ from above

If you are concerned about your new pricing, please message me first and I’ll be able to tell you of your new fee.

Eftpos transaction fees will no longer be $1, I will be passing on the full 2% rate. I have been absorbing the transaction fees where I can, however it is no longer doable.

I haven’t taken these changes lightly, I am trying to do my best to keep everything low cost for all, but also be able to keep an income for myself where as at the moment, I’m loosing more then I’m making..

. 🐩 EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST 🐩

Unfortunately I have decided to part with my favourite boy, Dembae. Having show dogs means, some times we can’t keep them all and have to find the perfect pet home for our babies to make room for the younger generations to come through, and having a younger male I need to campaign I have had to make this heartbreaking decision.
Dembae will only be considered for the best of homes.

- Toy Poodle
- Male
- almost 15months old
- my show dog - Australian Champion
- terms and conditions may apply.
- available after 20th April as his being used in Sydney royal grooming competition.
- very friendly, loves kids and other dogs.

If you would like to know more information, send a message to my page.

A busy and hot day in the salon today getting 4 of my show dogs ready for tomorrow🥰
3.5hrs of grooming just for this guy, he hasn’t been to a show for 6 weeks and grows hair extremely fast so a lot had to come off.

Not grooming related, however a shout out to another local business.

Dan from Wheel Change U Lake Macquarie South / Central Coast is a professional and friendly service for all your tyre needs.
Dan had the tyre ordered, in stock and put onto my car in under 24hrs.
The extra bonus is, I could still groom your pets while it was done. Dan is mobile and does it all in the convenience of your home or even work!

Thank you Dan
