Teddy and Derick came to see me for the first time today. Don't they look happy after their baths and a good de-shed?

The learning continues ...

I'll be adding Emmipet teeth cleaning service in the not too distant future - feel free to contact me for more information in the meantime.

Albus is a 16 week old shipoo and he came to me for his first ever grooming experience this morning. He'll be coming weekly for 30 minutes while we get him used to the environment, sounds and sensations of the equipment. He's leading the way - it's all about building trust. Today we had some cuddle time, did a little bit of brushing and I started trimming the hair around his front paws and pads.

Who wants to see how he progresses?

Today marks an extra special day for dogs and their human companions. It's a day to celebrate the unique bond of love and joy that exists between them. To help celebrate National Dog Day I wanted to share a few ways in which you could show your furry friends how much they mean to you.

1. Spoil them with their favourite treats
2. Invite some of their furry pals round for a play date
3. Take them to their favourite place for a walk

Why not go that extra mile and book them in for a pamper session?

My September diary is open - message or call now to book on 07435 897205

I offer a collection and drop off service if required - please ask for more information.

Sweet Lily, the 14 year old Yorkie that thinks she's still 14 months old. She came to see me for the first time today - short all over but kept the skirt.

Remember, if it’s too hot for your hands or your bare feet, then it’s too hot for their paw pads! ⚠️

If you’re unsure whether it’s okay to let your pet go for a walk on pavements, a simple way to test the temperature is by holding your bare skin on the tarmac for five seconds ⏱️

If you find it painful, then your pet will find it painful to walk on!

To protect your pet, it’s best to avoid walks during the hottest part of the day, which is usually between 8am and 6pm. If you can't safely exercise your dog, missing a day won't hurt.

Reasons why we don't clip double coated breeds ...

We've seen some questions on coat clipping recently and thought we would share some photos from our Kind Hands Tour taken with our thermo camera.

The picture is of Julie's two Briards - Leroy in a long coat and Indie clipped short.

👉Indie on the right is losing heat - RED. Her short coat is allowing more heat to leave her body so her system has to work harder to stay warm and she might therefore need to eat more.

👉Leroy on the left is in full coat which protects him from losing body heat.

Feel free to share to any discussions.

Today is Molly's day. Two 20 - 30 minutes drop ins to let her have a run around the garden, play, get some fuss. Whatever she wants really.
