Some days you just need to say “Sorry it’ll be too dangerous to continue”
Finn is 7 months and was so scared of everything, even the noise of the scissors
All I managed to do was bath him & brush him out before I had to call the pet parents.
This is his before picture.
The after picture would have been no different except he was cleaner.

This is the part of grooming I hate.
Unfortunately the beautiful Bella has passed over the rainbow.

I first started to groom Bella in Nov 22. The last photo was from her last groom in May 😢

I’m sure you’ll all join me in sending our love to Bella’s wonderful family at this sad time
RIP Sweet Bella 🌈💔🐾

This is another case of humanity over vanity.

This poor girl has a lot going on at the moment bless her. Pet parents are doing an amazing job.

Her face was really matted which went right under her eyes.
Very dangerous, one sudden move and it could be serious. Luckily I managed to get them removed, however she was then done with me going near her face. (Don’t blame her to be honest).
When I did she would try & bite either the clippers or shears . I had to call it and stop.
Is it a nice groom? Absolutely not.
Will she feel better? Absolutely yes.
Is she still a beautiful girl? Most definitely. Just look at her big eyes

Good afternoon. I've updated some of my policies (see below) I will be handing these out in the coming weeks for all my clients to sign/date & return. Thank you in advance

Short, Bark & Sides has the right to refuse any services at any time. If your pet becomes too stressed or becomes dangerous to groom, the groomer will use their discretion whether to proceed with the grooming. The client will be charged a grooming fee (for what was done up until that point).

Please make sure you have your phone ON for when it’s time to collect your dog. I ask that you do not make any personal appointments while your dog is being groomed. If you live a distance away let me know so I can text you in advance of your dog being ready. $15 per 30 minutes holding fee will be added to your bill if you are late collecting your dog without prior arrangements. I do not have the facility to dog sit.
No shows will need to pay in full for missed appointments before re-booking.

Although accidents are very rare, there is a risk when working with animals. Grooming equipment is sharp, and although Short, Bark & Sides use extreme caution and care in all situations, possible issues could occur such as cuts, nicks, quicking of nails etc. Senior pets also have a greater chance of injury during grooming. Furthermore, grooming can occasionally expose a hidden medical problem or aggravate a current one. This can occur during or after grooming.
If an accident does occur, the pet owner will be notified. If Short, Bark & Sides feels it is serious, and the owner is not on-site, Short, Bark & Sides will seek immediate veterinary care for your pet. In the best interest of the pet, Short, Bark & Sides requests authorization to obtain immediate veterinary treatment, at the pet owner’s expense, should it become necessary. The pet’s owner will cover all medical expenses for veterinary care.

Pets with matted or tangled fur have greater risk of injury, stress and trauma due to the damage that matting causes. In some cases, matted fur will require that a pet be shaved.

Enjoy the sun with your fur babies

Remember :-
Plenty of fresh water
Stay in the shade
Do not leave them in the car unattended & without air con
Test the pavement with your own bare foot first. Too hot for you means too hot for them
Stay safe
