Ralph the Miniature Poodle💙

Swipe to see the after of this gorgeous boy🥰

Mortimer looks how we feel after the Christmas rush😴

We are now closed for Christmas until the 3rd January🎄🎅🏼

Thank you to all our lovely customers for their support and kindness over the last year🥰 We have had so many gifts over the past few weeks and it has been much appreciated.

2023 has been a good one, 2024 will bring a few changes for us but we look forward to it🐶🐾🐩

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

PUPPY SOCIALISATION AND CONFIDENCE CLASSES

The key to a well-rounded and confident adult dog is early positive associations.

There is a critical window from 8-16 weeks for socialisation. This important time in a puppy’s life can help shape how they will be as adults.

We’re running a 4 week block course aimed at puppies between the ages of 12 and 20 weeks.

This will occur on a Monday evening at 7pm starting on the 28th November in Westleigh Village Hall, Bideford and cost £60.

Classes are limited to a maximum of 4 puppies.

We will be covering a multitude of activities and topics including general socialisation to noises, people and other dogs; and confidence building exercises.

Ciara is a graduate (with Distinction) of the Victoria Stilwell Dog Training Academy.

Set your puppy up for success and join us on Monday evenings.

Please get in touch on to book your place!
