SHOULD I HAVE MY DOG GROOMED IN WINTER?

A common misconception is that we should leave our dog’s coat longer in winter as they will feel the cold, when in actual fact, the opposite is often the case.

When a dog’s coat is left long, unless you groom it meticulously on a daily basis and dry it after walks, it will retain the cold and damp and actually make your dog colder.

A coat which is left long in the winter is likely to become matted as it will constantly be getting wet and a damp coat is difficult to maintain, unless you wash and dry the coat after every walk which is very high maintenance.

Keeping your dog’s coat shortish and manageable in the winter will be much easier to keep clean and dry and will be much more comfortable for your dog, allowing air to circulate through the coat and avoiding a long, matted, damp coat sitting against your dog’s skin.

Most dogs live in our homes with us which are centrally heated and warm. If it is extremely cold, you can put a coat on your dog on walks and remove it at home when they are in the warm.

Swipe to see the after of this gorgeous boy🥰

Ralph has been coming to us since he was around 12 weeks old as part of our free puppy introduction to grooming programme.

He had his first full groom with us recently and was absolutely golden🌟He’s a credit to his owners and all their hard work at home for sure!

Next time you visit your dog groomer, please be kind and consider how you speak to them. How would you like to be spoken to?

I speak for a lot of groomers at the moment, especially with the upcoming festivities, in that we are not feeling very appreciated at the best of times. Now don’t get me wrong, we have some absolutely wonderful customers, who are lovely in every way and they make us feel very much valued. A big thank you to those customers!

We love our job (most days), meeting all your lovely dogs and making them look wonderful. We take pride in our work and will always do what’s in the best interests of your dog and have their well-being at heart. We do try to keep costs as low as possible so that having your dog groomed is affordable for all.

However, this is also our career and we are running a business. We don’t do it just for fun and if we do not make profit, there simply would be no point in continuing.

It costs thousands of pounds to train as a dog groomer, hundreds to insure per year, thousands again to purchase the best equipment and products and then further money to maintain that equipment. On top of this, we also have rent, water bills and electricity to pay - we can all appreciate how expensive energy bills have become recently. We also don’t get paid holiday or sick pay.

So next time you are thinking about questioning the price, break that down and think about how much we are actually taking out of that for ourselves, to pay our bills at home and sustain a simple home life. Having a dog is a luxury, not a necessity.

Please treat us with respect, as you would like to be treated.

The above photo is a recent one taken by my colleague of myself after a free nail trim. Yes, a free nail trim. We didn’t charge. I held the dog whilst my colleague trimmed her nails and this was the result for me. Scratching, biting, growling, dribble faeces and urine are all things we have to contend with on a daily basis.

We are now finished for Christmas🎄

We’re looking forward to a well-earned break but will be returning to work on the 29th December.

We made a huge decision to move the business to Northam earlier this year.

This has been a massive success and we would like to thank all of you that have supported our small business over the past few years💙

We love seeing all of your gorgeous dogs and hope you all have a fantastic Christmas and wonderful new year!🌟

Many thanks,
Ciara and Tracey at Whitewash Dog Grooming
