Hi everyone! For some reason my phone network keeps playing up. One minute it's fine and the next I'm struggling to send and receive calls & texts. Probably best if you can to message me on here for the time being. Thankyou ☺️🐾📱

Hi everyone! Hope your all well 🥰 I just wanted to clear something up which a few people seem to have been a little unhappy with. As you all know I don't take deposits. Instead, I charge for appointments that have been missed before allowing any further bookings. I don't charge a fee for a one off missed appointment because we are only human and everyone forgets once in a while. I believe I am being more than fare with this very layed back procedure. However I do charge a fee if appointments have been missed on numerous occasions, I keep a record of each customer and make notes of when appointments have been missed. I don't charge to punish said customers, I charge to keep my head above water. My job / my business is my livelihood. I don't go into work and get payed by the hour regardless. I come into work and get payed for the work I have done. If I get a couple of customers a week not showing up that's a big loss, so I have to find a way to replenish my losses right ? I hope everyone can understand. Thanks for your time and custom. Georgina 🐾

👛🪙Price increases 🪙👛
Hi everyone!
Just letting you all know that prices will be going up quite significantly in February. I hate to have to do this, but if I don't move with the times my business will suffer. I won't blame anyone who wishes to shop around for a cheeper groomer, although I'd be sad to see any of you go, we all have to look after our penny's. I've tried to keep my prices as fair as possible but it gets to a point where I have to make sure I'm paying myself enough for the hours I work aswell as covering all business costs. Hope you can all understand.
Thank you all so much!

Some really good advise here for anyone who's dogs struggle with fireworks. This guy knows his stuff and I agree with everything he says. Dogs do feed off your energy so If youre nervous and wound up, they will be too 🧡🧡

⚠️Flea & Tick post ⚠️

Hi everyone, just a few bits on keeping your pets free from pesky parasites due the them thriving at the moment with the weather being so warm and humid.

So a lot of people think if their dogs don't come into contact with other dogs they they're safe from fleas. This is incorrect ❌
Your dogs / pets can pick up fleas & ticks in their own garden.
All it takes is for another infested animal such as a cat to pass through your garden and that's enough to hand the problem over to you.

A very important thing you should know is that fleas WILL infest your home and not just your dog. Your dog is actually just the host for the fleas to feed from. Fleas WILL lay eggs around your home and their numbers will increase rapidly.

If you have numerous pets in the home and you experience an infestation, they will all need to be tret with the appropriate flea treatments and the home will need to be tret also, usually with a house hold spray.

Flea eggs are bomb proof ! And the egg must be hatched in order to kill the flea. They can lay dormant for a long time so to encourage hatching, cause vibrations with hoovering ect around the times of treatment. Treatments will have to be repeated according to the manufacturers guidelines on the products you purchase. The whole house MUST be treated as fleas are very capable of traveling to different rooms and upstairs.

To prevent infestations keep on top of your flea treatments. Usually every one to two months depending on how exposed your pet is to parasites. For instance if you live on a farm or take long walks near farm lands/ in long grass etc. Worming should be every three months. If your dog contacts fleas they will need to be covered for tape worm as fleas can carry tape worm.

Speak to your vet about the best treatments to use. I would always advise using a proscription strength treatment as these are the most effective. ESPECIALLY if you have an existing infestation.

I regularly teat the salon with a spray but I can never guarantee all dogs coming through the doors are covered by a suitable treatment. It is your responsibility to keep your dogs covered when entering areas which have a high volume of potential carriers.

I am always happy to answer any questions I possibly can to help you all keep your pets happy, comfortable, safe & healthy.

I do also offer tick removals. All ticks should be removed the correct way to avoid infection and to keep scarring to a minimal.

Thanks for reading !
Georgina 💗☺️

⚠️Safety notice⚠️
Hi everyone!!! Hope you're all well and enjoying the sunny weather 😊☀️
I know I've posted about this before but I do feel it's important to remind everyone.
Even tho I have the Aircon going for the pooches, I'm concerned about some of them getting heat stress traveling to me in hot cars or walking in this heat 🥵
I will post about heat stress separately for anyone who wishes to read up on it.
I will understand if anyone wishes to rearrange appointments while the weather is so hot as safety comes first and it's sometimes better in extreme heat to keep them cool and calm at home in the shade, rather than risking a long hot car journey or over exhausting them on a walk. Heat stress is extremely dangerous and can be fatal so a groom sometimes is just not worth bringing them out for.

Heat stress post will follow with tips on keeping dogs/ pets cool 😎🐾
Thank you !!! 💙

⚠️👛 April Price increases 👛⚠️

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and New year ☺️ ☃️🎄

I know the last thing anyone wants to hear about just after the holidays is price increases !
👎👎(booooo)
But I have to make sure I let you all know in plenty of time before I apply them.

Starting from the 6th of April this year (2023) prices will increase for all services. 💷

For some breeds the price increase may be more significant than others, I apologize for this but due to some coats taking more water, shampoo/ products and the use of more electric when washing and drying I have to do what's best for my business. 📈📉📊

If you wish to know how the price increase will effect you individually please don't hesitate to ask ☎️📞✉️

I understand money is tight for everyone and I continue to try my best to be fair while simultaneously makeing sure my business doesn't suffer. 🪙🪙

Thank you so much for your cooperation and understanding ! 💗
Well wishes, Georgina 🐾✂️🐩🚿

Fun Facts Saturday 😍🐶

07/12/2022

We've all been there 🤣🤣 I wonder if the dogs leave the salon feeling the same 🐩✂️

😩

06/10/2022

Good morning everyone. Unfortunately over the past couple of weeks I've had an unacceptable volume of no shows which in turn has resulted in me losing a high sum of money. With the cost of living prices increasing this is not something I can afford to sweep under the carpet. In future if you miss an appointment it is possible you'll be faced with paying a deposit or fee for any future appointments. I understand we all have things which crop up and we can all forget sometimes but it's happening far too often. If you cannot make an appointment then please let me know so I can then offer it to someone else. I'm sure you can all understand I have to look after my business as it is my livelihood. Thank you for your cooperation, Georgina ☺️

POST EDIT: JUST SO EVERYONE IS CLEAR, THERE IS ANOTHER LADY WITH THE SAME BUSINESS NAME AS ME, I BELIEVE SHE IS MOBILE AND FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND SHE MAY BE CLOSING HER DOORS NEXT MONTH. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOURE FOLLOWING THE CORRECT PAGE. I AM NOT MOBILE AND AM BASED IN BARNSLEY. THANK YOU !

Hi everyone! 🐾

I've just been asked by a customers if I'm finishing grooming next month. I am absolutely NOT finishing grooming anytime soon so if anyone has seen anything on Facebook, I think it must be a mix up with another groomer. If there where ever any changes to my schedule you would undoubtedly hear it direct from me.

☺️ Hope you're all well.
Thanks, Georgina x

Happy half way to the weekend everyone 🤣🤣

Someone's looking very cuddly today. Those paws 🥰🥰

23/04/2022

Hi ! Hope your all having a great weekend !
Just wanted to ask a big favour !! 🥰
PLEASE can we all make sure we're taking responsibility for our own appointments? I do book up fast and I have tried to help some of you who like really regular appointments from missing out. It's just getting to a point where people are becoming a little too reliant. I'd love to help as much as possible, but I groom a lot of your pooches 🐶😬🐾 so trying to be overly helpful has eventually shot me in the foot 🤯 I hope you can all understand where I'm coming from. All I need you to do is make sure you're on top of your own bookings, make sure you book as far in advance as you need to or you may miss out and I CAN NOT be held responsible for that. Also try your best to remember appointments, when people don't show up, that's a spot someone else could have taken...

This is not directed to any one in particular 😊
I just notice my admin work becoming more of a load than it needs to be, and I need all the time I can get for physically grooming the dogs. I try to put as many months ahead in my diary as I can but I also have to work around my personal appointments ect. Thanks again for your cooperation 💕💖💗
Georgina 😊

POST EDIT! Sorry for any confusion, when I said I wasn't taking on any more dogs, I meant I'm not taking on new customers. I'm still taking appointments just no new dogs at present 😊

Hello everyone !! Hope youre all well! 🥰
I know I haven't posted in a while due to being so very busy, so I just wanted to say hi and update you all on a couple of things...

As some of you already know I'm not able to to take on any more dogs at he moment due to booking up very quickly. I don't want to make it anymore difficult for my original customers to get booked in than it already is, as the way I see it they are my main priority and it would be quite irresponsible of me to not put them first.

I am also waiting on some physio 💪 as the grooming life has taken it's tole in a few ways. Some of you I have had to disappoint and let go due to breed size or coat type, as I need to look after my creeky joints a little bit better than I have been doing, or I may not be able to continue grooming for as long as I would like.

However I am still more than happy to give out any grooming tips & advise to any of you who may need it. ☺️ ✂️🐾🐩
Well wishes to you all,
Thank you 🙏
Georgina 💗💓💕

👛🪙 Price increases🪙 👛...

Good morning everyone!
Unfortunately from the 1st of May this year, my prices will be increasing by 10%.

I have tried my best to keep my grooms at a fare cost but as most of you may understand, as the cost of everything rises, I MUST look after my small business.

I wanted to let you all know well in advance before making any changes. I will also try my best to send out a text message to all customers, for anyone who doesn't have or see Facebook.

Thank you all for your cooperation and understanding, and I apologize for any inconveniences this may have caused.

Kind regards
Georgina 😊🐾
