Morning everyone.

Did you know that today means it’s only 16 weeks to Christmas Day?🎄☃️ 🤫

I have been going through my diary and slowly contacting everyone for appointments. Today marks the last of your two 8 weekly appointments and then we will be booking into January 🫣

However If you wish to have a Christmas booking (before the 24th December) please send me a message and I will do my best to accommodate you and your furry friend. 🎅🏼☺️

Don’t forget I am closed between the 24th December and the 1st January. I will probably return to work on the 2nd of January 2025.

An interesting study and something that has been known in both the grooming industry and show world for many years. The miss conception that designer breeds are healthier than pedigrees is almost a false representation and advertising by their breeder.

When buying any verity of dog breed please ensure you ask to see any health test certificates relevant to that breed or the parents of the cross breed puppy. Any Kennel Club registered puppy you are able to view their parents health test results online.

🐕 We have undertaken the world’s largest study into the health of designer crossbreed dogs and revealed that the overall health of three common designer crossbreeds (Cockapoo, Labradoodle and Cavapoo) is largely similar to their parent purebred breeds.

With the colder weather working is way as autumn fast approaches, here are some interesting facts and information about your dogs’ coats that you use to help keep your fury companions warm while out on their winter walks.

I know most of you aware, but for those that are not here are some photos that show what a mattered dog looks like even if it is brushed regularly ☺️

Price list 1st January 2024

Due to the continuing increases of Business constraints and expenses the pricing structure has been updated ready for the 1st of January 2024.

I have managed to keep my pricing at the same level throughout 2023. However this did not reflect the increased of business expenses nor the cost of living during the year.

I am hoping that the 2024 pricing structure will again remain constant throughout the year and keeping it at a very competitive rate for the area.

Please note that these prices are a guide and your actual groom cost maybe different. However this will be discussed prior to your groom so there is no hidden costs or extras to pay for. I do not charge extra for services rendered* An extra service or add on may include nail trimming, special shampoos, seasonal scents, facials, conditioners. (This does not include flea or de matting charge)

I am still sending out text messages to all my regular clients with their price increases attached so do not worry if you haven’t had a message yet.

🎄It’s that time of year again!! 🎄

While it’s become and norm’ for other other Dog Groomers to charge for upgrades on your grooming appointments; such as nail trimming and treatment shampoos and with extra charges for seasonal scents. Here at K9 I still charge the standard price for grooms regardless of the extras during your furry friends visit! ☺️😘

26/10/2023

Hello everyone. Im sure I have now spoken to everyone regarding appointments before Christmas 🎄

However if I have missed anyone and you would like an appointment in December please get in touch. I have a few appointments left as I have opened up working a couple of extra days.

Please remember I will be closed between Christmas and New Year.

Helping to spread the knowledge of how to hand strip correctly.

No tools used only traditional finger and thumb. The only way to ensure no coat breakage/cutting.

2024 Diary has now arrived.

For all you guys that like to be organised, I have now started taking appointments into the new year.

26/09/2023

It is getting to that time of the year again 🎄! But let’s get Halloween 🧙‍♀️and bonfire night 🔥 out the way first shall we?!

I’ve ordered my 2024 diary 📔 because as of next week I will be booking into January, which is slightly scary.

I will also be sending out a text message with new prices for everyone going into 2024. As always I will try and stay competitive and I had managed to keep to one price increase this year, while it is apparent that a lot of groomers have had to reevaluate their costings and price structure at least twice in a twelve month period.

Taking into account the cost of living and the increase of business constraints I will be putting prices up on the 1st of January 2024.

The price structure that I will be posting should only be considered as a guide for reference and new customers. As always it will depend on the size and condition of the dog and it’s coat; and how regular the dog is groomed. I will personally message all my regulars with their increases.

Thank you for your continuing support during yet another year. You are all amazing and bring a smile to my face on most days ☺️😘 apart from those….. you know who you are 🫣🙃

21/09/2023

I will be unavailable today until Tuesdays 26th September.

Taking a much needed few days break.

The CMA has launched a review into the veterinary services market for household pets.

13/08/2023

It’s that time. They are here.

Keep an eye out for them guys.

We always get a little cluster of itchy animals at this time of year due to the presence of some temporary "hitch-hikers" - the Harvest Mites. This month's blog talks about this odd little parasite in a bit more detail.

04/08/2023

My customers are bloody amazing.

Thank you 😘

Well I’m all about cleared ready for tomorrow. Hopefully the cleared areas will dry and won’t be too icy in the morning. The piles of white stuff are huge!

Please park on the drive if there is still loads of snow on the side of the road from the tractor and plough that came through earlier.

Hopefully there will be no more snow and it will slowly thaw.

Please be aware it’s predicted to be -5 and lower tonight. Roads could be very dangerous first thing in the morning so please take it steady.

10/03/2023

Well I guess today is a snow day.

There are abandoned cars causing chaos this morning all around Bolsover.

I will be contacting everyone today.

09/03/2023

There’s about 6 inches out there at the moment.

Take it steady on the roads guys.

I’m having a groom my own day ready for crufts.

03/03/2023

Hello guys.

Here’s some information:

I’ve asked local traders and shop owners in Bolsover to post a link to their businesses below; so all you lovely people can have a look and therefore if you wish you can go visit them while waiting you for your dog to be groomed.

The dogs are famous again and where in one of the local rags’

Having the full run of the room at college and loving all the attention from the students AHK began falling asleep during his moment of limelight as the demo handstrip dog. Ida however thrived in the moment while we talked about her construction and how this is a massive part of understanding shapes and in turn the difference between a good groom and a bad one.

Our second year running providing this talk to the college.

A week of meeting the experts and discovering more about the wellbeing and habits of animals was the focus for the new term for animal care students at Mansfield’s West Nottinghamshire College.
