OLIVE is such a darling! Brushing out her coat means fun was had in buckets of prickles and piles of dirt. After her bubble bath and blueberry facial, she always comes out shiny and glossy black, smiling away through those big eyes! The most beautiful little pocket rocket 🚀

🌟 Thank you for your Support!** 🌟

🐾💖 Plush Paws is at CAPACITY and **fully booked for new clients** at this time! 💖🐾

We’re incredibly grateful for the trust you place in us to care for your furry family members. 🐶💞

Mel is focusing on completing the final grooms of the year for her beloved regular clients. It's the busiest time of year for us as we make sure everyone is cool for summer and pretty for family Christmas photos.
We then close for our annual short break over Christmas & The New Year 🎄🎅 🍾

📢 Important Notes for New Inquiries:
🐾 For updates or to join our **waitlist** for future openings, please message us via the **Message Tab** ONLY.
📵 Please avoid sending personal messages to private accounts or phone numbers—we kindly ask for your respect on this.
🐾 Plush Paws uses **Moego** for scheduling, and we do not monitor personal mobiles or social DMs for bookings.

**Friendly Reminder:**
If you’re experiencing a “smelly dog at Christmas” emergency 🎅🐕, please understand this usually happens when a regular grooming routine hasn’t been maintained. Our VIP clients know the importance of an **annual grooming schedule** to avoid this holiday scramble. **Please don’t be rude.** We didn’t forget to book the dogs in.... 😱 You can only ask, we we cannot guarantee anything so late in the year. There is simply no room this close to Christmas.

We appreciate your understanding and continued support! 💕 Let’s end the year with wagging tails and happy pups! 🐕🎉

The many faces of Mia. In one session, she can go through all the seasons, the mood swings, and the death threats, but she never swipes, never claws, only mews, and shows me her big green eyes. You know when she has had enough as her meow changes instantly. Learning to read cats is a skill and requires a lot of patience and tuna snacks 😆 love you Mia

We have almost made it to Christmas! Mels lost her voice, but she isn't sick....yet. We can do this! 💪

As a heads up, JANUARY appointments are NOT active. Do NOT add any link dates to your calendar as they WILL change, sorry. MoeGo does not allow us to hide dates.

Also, our 5th child is starting Kindy as well, so Mels availability will change dramatically, and this may mean changes in 2025, unfortunately. But for now, do not panic, please.

So please check in that you have your Xmas groom or maintenance bath and blowdry booked as we close Dec 23rd as per usual. We also require an update on all dogs' weights so that you are charged correctly for the trailer, grooming service, and time your pet will be allocated.

Much love ❤️
Team Plush Paws 🐾

🌈Remembering Maximus🌈

Today, we’re honouring a beloved Plush Paws friend who crossed the rainbow bridge. Maximus was a gentle soul who brought so much joy and warmth. It was a privilege to be a part of his senior years and care journey, and we’re so grateful to his mum, Eleanora, for trusting us with his grooming over this past year. ❤️

Maximus, your spirit will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you for the cuddles, smiles, and happy moments.

Sending all our love to Eleanora and the family during this difficult time. Rest easy, Maximus 🌟

🐾 Plush Paws Update 🐾

Hello, everyone! I’m back after 12 days away and 8000km driving a truck to Perth and back, and I can’t wait to get back to grooming your fur babies! 💖 While I was out, we had no reception for about 4 days, so unfortunately, the automatic schedule reminders for October 21st and 28th didn’t go out as planned. My phone lit up with alerts as soon as I hit reception, and I’ll be working with MoeGo to improve remote access and future SMS alerts so this won’t happen again. It didn’t meet our usual standard, and I apologize for any confusion this may have caused.

✨ **Friendly Reminder:** You can always check your individual MoeGo link for the most up-to-date info on your pet’s booking details. All manual changes are saved there, too! 🐶🐱

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we smooth out these wrinkles! I’m looking forward to finishing 2024 strong with all of you! 🎉

Hey there! 👋

We usually take a break during the October school holidays as it's our wedding anniversary and the best time away with our 5 kids and their schedules.
Last year, MEL worked through the holiday (and loved it) to manage the rising accommodation costs since COVID. But with recent inflation and the continuing rising costs of living, we’re considering staying home this time 🏡 to save for a better holiday and as It's also our 20th wedding anniversary this year 🍾 🥂 💙 maybe save it for a cruise in 2025 over a week in an over-priced unit.
Plus, MEL will also be competing ( she hopes) in a grooming competition at Melbourne Royal in early October. 🏆✂️

So, back in February, MEL did her thing and rescheduled everyone out of the usual two-week zone in OCTOBER (as we do annually > see your contract for more details) and tried to make all rosters fit in nicely to late September and later during October.
But now, we might need to move them back. Yikes! Why? MEL has picked up some remote work in Perth. Dates pending but after the oct school holidays and yes she will be unavailable for about a week approximately ✈️🌏 🚚

So this is just a heads up, as rescheduling updates will be sent out once we know more! 📅 If you have an appointment in October and are planning to be away, please DM your MoeGo SMS account ASAP so we can adjust before we move you somewhere you already cannot go!

Thanks for understanding!

🐻 BEAR 🐻 older than the hills but still kicking it. Summer means short as he gets too hot now. It's about comfort as he navigates his senior years and a few health issues. Spa Day is one of his favourite things 😍

Saturdays are for parkrun. Mels competition Poodle, Goose the Standard is doing his first ever parkrun today. His line is all over the joint, his pirouettes are fantastic, and that tongue is flapping in the wind. He is having fun, Anthony may have a different point of view 😆

Currently, wind gusts are at 35km, and the trailer is rocking.

Mel has now taken the black grooming trailer off the road immediately for the day. Tree debris is also a concern.

As you know, we are awaiting a new window due to the last windy day, which blew out a roadside window.
A forward canopy door snapped its hinge at the front when the hose was reeled out in the wind and will need immediate repairs this afternoon.

Yesterday, the barrel of the door lock fell out between clients, which resulted in last-minute emergency entry to the trailer via an angle grinder. It's an easy fix, but with the wind, the door isn't fail-safe on the road, and we will replace it today.

So once again, due to weather we will take the opportunity to have repairs completed on the issues today.

Thank you for understanding. Reschedules will be sent to your inbox shortly if you were contacted earlier today by Mel 🐾

We do love a good before and after photo op! Look at these guys rocking their warmer seasonal haircuts ✂️ 🌞

🌈💔 It is with utterly saddened hearts that we announce the passing of MACK, the beautiful cocker spaniel. This gorgeous boy came into our lives as a client after I met him at Thursday night run club and parkrun. I liked him more than the runners 😆 He could run 5km faster than me! 🏃‍♀️🐾 Eventually, he slowed down, and we became cuddle buddies every few months until his passing. His favourite part of the groom was hiding under the towel until he could feel the sunrise on his face as I dried him off, sharing my snacks for breakfast. 🌅🍴 I will miss you, MACK. You helped me pause, breathe, and feel the sun on my face. Run wild and run free, sweet boy. You truly were a blessing to us all and we wish his family much love too during this difficult time. ❤️🌟
