Please read below -

It is with a heavy heart that I let you know that the doors to my home grooming salon will close indefinitely.

The driving reason behind this decision is due to the health of my children & their battle with allergies.

I'm not in the position at the moment to open an external salon which was my ultimate goal.

I hope to give you some time to find a new salon where your pets are loved and pampered, which is why I will aim to provide 1-2 months notice.

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me the opportunity to groom your furry friends.

I'm not sure what the future holds, but hope to see you all again soon.

Kind regards,

Amy

Hello to you all!

I’ve been extremely quiet on here lately.
Parent mode has been in full swing as I juggle young children, their challenges & a business. If you’re awaiting a response from me, rest assured I’ll be getting back to you as soon as possible.

I appreciate you.

How cute is this little guy!

He isn’t a fan of the dryer near his face or front feet, so I work with him with lots of praise & breaks inbetween.

*Be their voice*

Over the weekend, I notice this little dog locked in a car.

The windows were down by about 3cm, yet the outside temp was well over 30 degrees.

I recognised heat stress in this little dog as she was barking profusely and scratching at the windows.

(What would you do in this situation?)

I found a security guard & he advised that he’d look after it.

I continued to shop, assuming it was sorted.

1 hour later I returned to my car - the dog was STILL there, this time much quieter.

The owner walked over at the same time & assumed her little dog was relaxed.

I kindly let her know that her dog was suffering from heat stress.

I’m sure this little dog is very loved & the owner had best intentions at heart. BUT, we don’t know, what we don’t know. Which is why I’m sharing this message.

- A dogs body temperature naturally sits higher than ours.

- Dogs cannot regulate their body temperature like we do, they need plenty of fresh air.

- Although direct sunlight will heat up a car quickly, shaded areas will still trap heat.

- Cracked windows are not enough during hot weather (It’s also illegal to leave a car running or windows down, so it’s a lose, lose situation here)

- Dogs paw pads can start to burn immediately when walking on hot roads or concrete. Dog’s have sweat glands in their pads. If these burn, a dog will have trouble cooling down. (Do the 5 second hand check, if it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for them)

- Leaving a dog at home in shade with lots of fresh water (better yet, a fan or aircon) during hot days is the kindest thing to do.

Let’s keep our Furry Friends safe & happy

Happy sweet 16th to my eldest girl Ella.

El spends a majority of her day inside, snoozing. Not many of you would have had the opportunity to meet her because of that.

Ella was 12 weeks old when she joined me at the age of 19. We have been on one big journey together.

Love ya El x

⭐️ New pay system ⭐️

Hello all,

Moving forward I will only accept correct cash or eftpos upon pick up of your furry friend.

I will no longer be able to accept bank transfer to be paid at a later time (unless eftpos is down) this will save me a lot of time following up on payments & is much quicker for you. I’ll send reminders with your next booking.

I've sent a message to those whom still have outstanding payments from the past couple of months.

Thank you
Amy

December bookings
are almost at capacity.

I recommend booking 3 weeks in advance for all grooms (if you need something sooner I’ll do my best to find you a spot) 🐶

24/11/2023

You will now have the option to pay via eftpos or cash upon collection of your furry friend.

(Correct cash is appreciated as no cash is kept on premises)

See you soon!

Let’s skip to the good part….

I love having the space to allow these guys to stretch their legs.

15/11/2023

Ok, probably not the best angles for a before and after pic. But how fresh is Louie looking!

15/11/2023

Who’s going first?

Could you get a cuter crew?

They’re a little nervous to start with, but always relax very quickly.

My new tools arrived today ✂️ I cannot wait to use them 🥰

I’ve been grooming for 5 whole months now. I jumped straight into the deep end and started this business from scratch out of my garage. It’s not perfect, but it’s perfect for now.

Over the past 5 months, I’ve realised grooming isn’t always rainbows & butterflies. In fact, it can be quite challenging.
Each dog is unique and has their own perspective on grooming. But, it does fill my cup; it allows me to help an animal in one way or another. (Even if they don’t realise it at the time)

It also provides me with the flexibility I need to raise my young children.

I appreciate you all & I thank you for supporting my small albeit expanding salon.
