After a very busy week, we are home from Crufts with both the boys!

In our biggest entry to date in our breed, my boys came away with a 2nd and 3rd place respectively in their classes, and were absolute angels for the whole day making new friends, walking through huge busy crowds, and stopping to let members of the public give them a fuss and answer all their questions about the amazing breed.

I will be responding to all missed messages and emails this afternoon, thank you so much for your patience this week 🐶

⭐️ NOTICE OF PRICE INCREASE 12/09/22 ⭐️

Hello everyone,

I hope you’re well and you are enjoying the summer with your furry friends! ☀️

As I’m sure you are all aware, inflation seems to be going through the roof at the moment. I really value you and your dogs as treasured clients, and I have done my very best to absorb the increased costs of renting the salon, electricity, water, product and fuel for as long as I can. However, I now have no choice but to make a small increase to my prices of £4 (excluding teeth cleaning services), to ensure I can continue to operate and provide the best service that I can, with the best products for you and your dog.

Some of my costs have gone up by much more than the cost of living, which I am sure you have also experienced, but this increase will enable me to continue to keep my business going, and to keep seeing your lovely dogs faces every day.

I know you will also be suffering higher costs and so I am truly sorry to have to notify you of this change but I hope you will understand, and I hope you believe that the service I provide is worthwhile. The increase in prices will apply from Monday 12th of September so if you have an appointment on or after 12th of September please feel free to get in touch to check the price with me so there is no uncertainty.

I appreciate that some of you may sadly choose to find a cheaper grooming service if possible, but I do hope that you will continue to allow me to provide the very best service to you and your beloved dog. If you wish to cancel your appointment or have any questions regarding pricing, or tips to make your dogs groom last longer between appointments, please contact me on [email protected] and I will reply to you as soon as I can.


This notice has also been emailed out to all clients to keep as a copy for themselves.

Thank you, take care and best wishes

We have made it through the heatwave without having to cancel any grooms, and whilst keeping the salon beautifully cool and dogs completely comfortable 🥳🥳 Hopefully the haircuts over the past few days have kept all the dogs a bit cooler! Thank you everyone again for your cooperation 🥰

We are back to the normal appointment times tomorrow, and appointment reminders have been sent out as usual for those with appointments. If the weather forecast should unexpectedly change over the next week and we experience high temperatures again, I will be in touch with those who it may affect.

Stay safe and stay cool everyone! 😎 ❄️

✨ EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH ✨

For putting in maximum effort, and for staying cool as a cucumber throughout the heatwave 🤣

18/07/2022

Day 1 of the heatwave done! ✅

Thank you so much to my clients over the recent and coming hot days, who have been so understanding and cooperative with the changes I’ve made to appointment times.

Thanks to our very early start this morning we’ve managed to keep the salon at a cool 18-20 degrees today, and the dogs have loved being sat on a cool mat whilst they’ve been groomed ❄️

1 more day of this hot weather and then some rain please! 🌧

☀️🌡 HOT WEATHER PRECAUTIONS 🌡☀️

As I’m sure you are all aware, the predicted temperatures for Monday and Tuesday are at a record high for the country, so I just wanted to make you all aware of the procedures I have put in place to keep dogs with appointments on those days safe:

🧊: The temperature of the water will be reduced to a cooler temperature during baths

🧊: The hairdryers will be turned down to their cold setting

🧊: Ears will be left damp to reduced the amount of time the hairdryer is around their heads

🧊: A cool mat will be on the table for the dogs to sit/lay on as they are dried and groomed

🧊: Air conditioners, fans, and reflective window films have all been fitted

🧊: Cold, fresh water is constantly available on the table

🧊: Dogs scheduled for the afternoon appointments have been moved to very early in the morning to avoid travelling in peak temperatures

🧊: All owners will be asked to be available to pick up dogs, or provide an emergency contact to do so, in the event that I suspect a dog may be suffering from heatstroke or struggling with the grooming process

🚨 PLEASE DO NOT WALK YOUR DOGS BEFORE THEIR APPOINTMENT, THIS WILL INCREASE THEIR INTERNAL BODY TEMPERATURE AND MAKE IT UNSAFE FOR ME TO GROOM THEM 🚨
!!(Dogs should not be being walked in these temperatures anyway)!!

If you wish to cancel your appointment on Monday 18th or Tuesday 19th of July as you would prefer your dog to be groomed on another day, please note that last minute cancellation fees will not apply in this instance as it is unavoidable and for the safety of the dogs.

Stay safe everyone, keep those pups indoors and in front of fans, and please don’t walk them in these temperatures ❤️
