Happy Friday everyone!
Beautiful pup Rolo we had in for his first groom last month!
Why have one fluffy cloud when you can have two?
Tyson has mastered the head tilt!
I walked the dogs today at Hillsborough Forest park and this is the colour of the water with the blue/green algae.
This can cause serious problems (or death) if your dog is exposed to it so don't let your dogs swim in water like this!
We have a complete set! ๐๐
Duke the wire haired pointer and my dog Duchess the cavalier!
Now we need a Prince & Princess, King & Queen etc!
Beautiful Belle โค๏ธ
I know it's been raining for the last few days BUT please take your dog to the toilet BEFORE bringing them into the shop......
It's obvious if you haven't as it's the FIRST thing dogs do when they enter, is p*e & poo and it's the LAST thing we want to clean up.
It's also uncomfortable for them to have to hold it in during grooming.
Everyone will be asked when the dog was last toileted before grooming.
Thank you ๐
His and hers โค๏ธ
The beautiful Monty was in for a pamper and I just had to get a pic with Duchess.
They are so similar, even their ginger markings and everything ๐
The shop is closed this week until Mon 17th June for holidays ๐
We aren't accepting new customers until mid July atm.
If you need me you can text 07809204435 (I'll turn the phone on everyday) or message me on here.

Unfortunately due to very limited availability we are not accepting new customers until mid June.
For customers, we have a handful of appointments free at the end of May, start of June.
Pre booking your appointments in advance is very advisable with the (hopefully) summer ahead.

How adorable is Mabel?
Such a loveable big girl
Because I know you all love the deshedding videos!
This is the SMALL amount of hair that blew out of Koda BEFORE she was washed.
So much more came out once washed and dried!

Price increase from today Mon 8th April
Price increase from 8th April.
Due to an increase in the overall cost of supplies, insurance, electricity & the national living wage, prices will increase by ยฃ3 for all dogs.
This is for dogs on a regular 4 - 12 week schedule.
This is about 7%.
I didn't increase prices last year but unfortunately with the increase in living wage coming into force in April this is now unavoidable.
The price increase will be included in all reminder text messages for a few months.
All customers will be asked to sign new terms & conditions from April.
This will include......
๐ถgeneral conditions of grooming
๐ฆ flea policy
โcancellation & no show policy
๐ฟmatted dog
๐คฌ aggressive dog policy.
Thanks for your continued support as we come into our 7th year of business.
Katie โค๏ธ
I have left the work mobile phone at home today ๐ซฃ
Please message me on here if you need me
From tomorrow I will be asking all customers to sign updated terms & conditions and confirming all details on their file are up to date.
Dogs are accepted for grooming only under the following conditions:
Health:
Your pet is fit & healthy with vaccinations up to date.
Any grooming of an elderly dog or a dog with health problems will be at the ownerโs risk.
The groomer will not be held liable or responsible for irritation, abrasion, patchiness or hair loss due to any pre-existing skin condition or as a result of the process of grooming, de-matting, thinning, stripping or shaving, or any mishap caused by my non-disclosure of my petโs medical condition or behaviour.
In the event of any health problem, Comb & Bark is authorised to contact a vet and to treat the dog as necessary
Fleas
All dogs must be up to date with flea & tick treatments
If your dog harbours any parasites, you will clear them at your expense
There is a ยฃ20 cost for flea bombing the salon.
Full groom payment will be received to cover the appointment slot.
De-matting
De-matting (working through matted coats) may cause patchiness or hair loss, consent to remove the matted hair is this understanding.
Your written permission will be required if your pets coat is too matted to save.
Clipping down the coat dramatically changes the appearance of the dog, as the coat has to be shaved close to the skin. This may expose pre-existing skin complaints due to the lack of air circulating to the skin.
There will be minimum of ยฃ10 extra charge to cover the cost of the blade being sharpened
Aggression:
If your dog bites or attempts to bite any person or pet, a muzzle may be used or at the discretion of the groomer,
If your dog is too agressive, grooming may stop
Full payment will be received to cover the lost appointment cost
You will pay the full cost of damages & expense your dog has caused.
Payment:
If you miss an appointment without giving 24 hours notice, you must pay ยฝ the missed appointment fee before another appointment will be given
Payment will be made as per price quoted
Price depends on size, coat condition and behaviour of the dog during grooming
Collection
Owners must collect dogs at the time stated or within 30 minutes of receiving a text message.
Please reply to our text message to confirm you have received it.
Uncollected pets will be charged a sitting fee of ยฃ10 for 30 minutes
Comb & Bark Grooming is allowed to share photos of my dog on social media & on their website. I confirm that all the facts I supplied above are true & I accept & consent entirely to all of the terms & conditions shown.
There will be a new addition in the shop when you next come in.....
Name undecided as yet as I've just collected her.
She's an ex breeding bitch at 5.5 years old, I'm her 3rd home in 12 weeks, but she's landed with her bum in the butter now & Tux will be a great big brother โค๏ธ

Sean knows everything there is to know about dog food!
If anyone is watching crufts, I'm on the red carpet at the side of the main arena...... Not sure how we managed to get these seats!
We love Spaniels!
They were always a popular breed but now we are seeing them more than ever and we just love them!
We now only have a few appointments left before Easter (end of March) so if you think your dog needs groomed in the next 8 weeks, please book it now and don't forget to book your repeat apt before you leave the shop!
We can put you on the cancellation list but there will be people in front of you.
Message me on here or text 0789204435 ๐คฉ
We are now getting very busy and have no availability until the middle of March.
I can put people on a waiting list if anyone cancels.
Pre-booking your dog's next appointment before you leave is strongly advised!
If you are a regular and you'd like me to prebook a few appointments in advance, just let me know

Because I know you all love the deshedding videos! This is the SMALL amount of hair that blew out of Koda BEFORE she was washed. So much more came out once washed and dried! before and after photos in the comments
Make drying your dog at home a breeze! We have Groom Professional Super Absorbant Towels for Sale for only ยฃ8.50. Here's a video of me drying Alfie, a shih tzu. Look how much water is absorbed into the towel & then wrung out and Alfie is only a small dog! The dogs will be half dry by the time we take them out of the bath! Pair that with our Vegan & cruelty free Hownd Shampoos & sprays for a squeaky clean dog in these muddy winter days!
I know everyone loves the deshedding videos! Here is Roxy, she's blowing her coat & is in full shed mode and all the dead hair is just sitting at the top waiting to come loose. This is what happens when we put the high velocity dryer on her coat before we've even washed or brushed her. It's so satisfying! Before and after photos in the comments! #germanshepherd #deshedding #blowncoat #doggrooming #doggroomer #sheddingdog
Lassie is hilarious......her aim in life is to shake and ultimately kill all the toys with her sister, the big gentle Petra. Lassie may be small, but she is mighty! She was so happy on her special "toy killing mat" while waiting for Petra to be finished. Tux was not so happy every single toy was wet with drool ๐คฃ you win some, you lose some Tux
I know how much you all love the deshedding videos! Bella's dead coat was just sitting at the top ready to blow out. This is at the very start, before we have washed or brushed her or have done anything else and just look at the sheer amount of hair that's coming out.......it's so satisfying! Bella's before and after pics are posted in the comments.
Demo of the Super Absorbant Groom Professional Towels we use every day in the shop and are for sale for only ยฃ8. A must have for the summer at the beach, river, caravan. Suitable for all dogs. Very durable and washable. Currently only 5 left in the shop!
Norman gets himself so excited coming into see us, he comes barrelling through the door to see Tux and get cuddles from us!
We have a couple of appointments left for this week. Mon 23rd at 2pm or 3pm Tues 24th at 11am Fri 27th at 9.30am Message me to book your dog in! Enjoy this video of Roxy the German Shepherd who lost a lot of dead hair just by the dryer alone! If your dog is shedding, save your arms and book them in for a groom! Your hoover will thank us!
Hope you all had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year. We are reopen on Thurs 5th and will be back to normal opening hours. We are booking up fast for January so please get in touch if you need to book your dog's next grooming apt esp if they were only in for a tidy up in December.

This is non refundable if you cancel without 24 hours notice. Text 07809204435 or message me on here to book.
Tux doesn't often play with customers dogs but Lottie and he adored each other! This is his version of Tug...... He stands still and lets the other dog do all of the work ๐ #beagle #dogsplaying #puppylove #dogfriends
Koda loves a wee howl and she needs no encouragement! She loves being groomed & is just doing what all huskies & malamutes love to do which is sing the song of their people! She's adorable ๐
Winter time means lots of rinsing muddy and wet dogs legs, bellies, tails, ears etc. Save yourself from having a wet/damp dog running around your house and keep your washing bill down with these super absorbant towels. They literally suck the water out of your dog's coat meaning you only have to use ONE towel and your dog is at least half dry. A must have for all sizes and breeds of dogs. Only ยฃ8 in the shop and worth their weight in gold! Save 10% off when you buy any 2 grooming items in the shop Save 15% off when you buy any 3 grooming items in the shop

I can put anyone who wants a Dec apt on the waiting list...... However..... ๐ถWe do not accept new customers in December and ๐ we only accept dogs who are regularly groomed (so for example not ones we haven't seen in 8 months) We still have appointments available in November for everyone
