Hestons Hounds Groom Room

12/12/2023

Hello everyone, sad news I'm afraid.

As you all know I set up shop in Blackburn Town centre in July this year with high hopes the new premises would boost my business and move me forwards, unfortunately though its had the opposite affect.

Although all my regulars followed me and a handful of newbies I'm just not making any kind of wage and only just covering my overheads. As we are all aware the ever increasing prices of bills and stock are financially crippling.

Financial struggle however isn't my only hurdle there are several reasons why I will have to let my dream go for now, for example.. No shows, late cancellation, poor parking, noisy location, heavy footfall of the wrong kind, no secure outdoor space, and just the location in general I've been told is off putting.

So to sum it up I will have to face facts that I simply can't carry on as I am nor can I afford to move elsewhere, every penny has been spent there's no pot left. I've tried my best and for that I'm proud but now just isn't my time.

Thank you all for choosing me to groom your precious fur babies it truly has been an honour and pleasure, I care about them all. I'm also very sorry for the inconvenience of having to find another groomer you trust, but there are lots of loving established groomers out there who will love your babies the way I did.

Due to my lease I will still be grooming up until mid February so if you need an appointment just let me know.

Again thank you all, I will miss each and every one of you 💜🐶💜

I love this guy! He absolutely loves what he does and makes it fun 🤩 he’s also very honest which I appreciate because dog grooming is much more complex than people think especially when every single dog has their own unique personality and coat 💜

Hello everyone 🐶

Just an update regarding my current status.. Unfortunately I’ve still not been able to find a suitable new work space to carry on my work grooming your fur babies and due to a few other complications this isn’t going to be fixed as quickly as I would like, therefore I’m having to put my tools down for now until my situation changes. I’m truly sorry it’s come to this, sometimes life just decides to test you but it’s a test I will pass!

Thanks again for all your love and support so far it’s been truly appreciated! ♥️

I will keep my page updated and hopefully soon il be back at it 🙏🏼

‼️Warning‼️

Some of you may already be aware but incase some aren’t here’s a heads up!

3 Days ago my Luna started with sloppy poos and vomiting, at first I just thought it would pass as dogs can just have off days like us but unfortunately she quickly deteriorated and was admitted to the vets. She is home now with lots of meds and thankfully perking up, it was horrendous 😞. She was diagnosed with gastroenteritis and pancreatitis and had I not got her to the vets… well you can imagine the rest.

Lunas symptoms..

Lethargic
Not eating
Barely drinking
Tender tummy
Diarrhoea with blood
Vomiting yellow bile/blood

If your dog starts with one or more of these symptoms do not hesitate to get them to the vets, it won’t go away on its own and time is of the essence, dehydration being very serious!

Unfortunately it’s contagious too and this morning my Xerxes has started with symptoms so straight to the vets.

I hope this helps folks 🙏🏼

Dear customers 🐶

It is with a very heavy heart I write this post but unfortunately it has to be done. Due to a change in my personal circumstances I will for now have to put my groom room on hold. I’m not giving up on my dream but I also have to be realistic and to go forward I’m going to have to take a few steps back. I’m truly sorry for the inconvenience and feel a great guilt especially for the nervous fur babies I’ve spent time confidence building. I will be honouring ALL booked appointments and any customers close to your due date I will get you in ASAP just send me a message.

To each and everyone of you that has supported me either as a customer or a loyal follower I appreciate you 💜 I’m very thankful and touched.

Everything happens for a reason 🙏🏼

Peace & love to you all ☮️💟🐶
