Hayley the Dog Groomer

“Poppy is a tiny Border terrier who was found straying and ended up in the local council pound.

It had been two years since I had a dog in my life after losing my last boy at nearly 18 years old. I wasn’t sure I could go through the heartbreak again.

As soon as I saw Poppy, I knew she was coming home with me. She was so scared and Kennels were no place for her, she was just eight months old.

Two years on she is a fully qualified Pets as Therapy dog and we visit Dementia patients. It’s quite remarkable seeing the bonding between her and her patients.

She’s really heaven sent and she definitely came to me for a reason. She’s my best friend and I couldn't love her more.”

What a lucky girl Poppy is that you came into her life Lynne, and it sounds like the feeling is mutual in that you need her as much as she needs you. That love is irreplaceable. N x

Coco and Lola two little saucy sisters graced the grooming table today and kept me firmly on my toes!! So funny watching their antics 🐾😅 I think they are joined at the hip getting up to all sorts of mischief!! These girls aren't youngsters but boy do they have some energy. They look lovely after their pampering although I think secretely they might both be tomboys 😉😘😘

Abel the huge mastin was groomed today. His double dew claws on his back feet were clipped to prevent them curling into his paw pads. He enjoyed having his ears cleaned but not his legs brushing love him. I love grooming large dogs and it makes me laugh to think that he is twice the size of my largest grooming table! 😱🙈

Carumba a beautiful mastin girl had an undercoat removal today. She really is a gentle gentle giant 😍😍😍😍

Ellie the cute shih tzu was welcomed to the beauty parlour today 🤗
8 years old and a reluctant recipient to having nails and feet trimmed with patience we managed as best as we could! She is a lovely girl once you gain her trust. Well done Ellie! 😍😘😋😋
Ellie, la linda shih tzu, fue recibida hoy en el salón de belleza 🤗
8 años y reacio a que le corten las uñas y los pies con paciencia, ¡nos las arreglamos lo mejor que pudimos! Es una chica encantadora una vez que te ganas su confianza. ¡Bien hecho Ellie! 😍😘😋😋

Poe was in desperate need of a groom. Her fur is always so thick bless her. She has lots of lumps and bumps all over her body which are harmless and mainly owing to her age. She hates being on the table but is very happy to receive a treat afterwards!
😄😅🌟🌟
Well done Poe your patience paid off X

Two beautiful brothers visited today. Yorkshire terrier brothers Ralphy and Moosey! Ralphy is much bigger than his brother but Moosey makes up for it in character. Their owner wanted a short cut all over so that is what I gave them! Excellent behaviour on the table. They are used to being groomed regularly since puppies. I hope you enjoy the pictures!! 🐾🐾

Poppy the chinese cresty looks very regal after her pamper session. Such a gentle , delicate girl. An absolute pleasure on the table 🦋🦋🦋 💖👑

This is the adorable Whisky and Guinness. Two super boys who are both extremely well behaved. Whisky is full of mischief and a veritable thief if I leave anything lying around! 😅 whereas Guinness is more reserved and sweet 🥰🐾🐾

Moppy came round today to be bathed & clipped. She was as always very good and patient. Being a black dog I always find it harder to photograph and see features clearly but hopefully these photos aren't too poor quality. Lovely to see you as always Moppy 💝 ( first few pics are after groom )

Good Morning. Hola! After succumbing to covid and just returning from a trip to the UK I am now taking bookings for all of your pet dogs and cats 🎊🐾

Nails have been the main chunk of work this week at home and the dog shelter. Keep an eye on your dogs nails and dew claws as they can start growing in to the pads. €5 for me to clip them!!!

A particularly complex groom today. An abandoned dog with very matted, smelly fur ,😓😷. Fortunately he had a fantastic nature and was very tolerant of the clippers I think he knew I was trying to help. The tail was particularly difficult. I am posting all of the photos for you to see 🤗🐾

Guess Who??

Yes! Rolling Ronnie has done it again 🙈🤢😷
Dogs do like to smell bad, dead animals, rotting food and other animals poo etc is their favourite scent...so the better I make him smell the more eager he is to disguise it ☠️
He has cleaned up for now but it is anyones guess for how long! 😬🦨

22/01/2022

Ronnie has had a spa treatment which consisted of a brush and comb to remove dead hair and any tangles and a bath! He looks gleaming now I think you will agree. He is such a handsome chap 😁😎

Ellie the Shihtzu visited today she was a little character , not pleased to have been split up from her mum but I constantly talked to her and reassured her and she just let me get on with it. Bless her 🤗 good girl Ellie.

Jess one of the PAU Rescue Shelter dogs was brought to me today for a much needed clip! Although pretty anxious she was better than the last time I groomed her so I am very happy with her progress 👏👏 hopefully she will feel lighter and happier now 😁😁😁

This is an interesting groom..Cookie is a five year old Cockerpoo. His owners would prefer him to look more cocker than poo so its all in the grooming. It won't happen overnight but I had my first meeting with him yesterday. He is extremely good on the table which helps but it did take a while. Notice with breeds like this the hair continously grows everywhere so I plucked his ear hair which helps prevent ear infections and allows the ears 'to breath'. There is also a photo of him when he was looking more poodle!
If you have a cockerpoo please feel free to post pictures and share.🐾🐾

Just adopted today! Charlie has now a lovely new home off the streets 🥰👏👏. She came to me straight from the vets after a check up, she was very matted and dirty...she wasn't exactly keen but hopefully she feels more comfortable now. What a happy ending for this sweet girl and it looks like she already adores her new mummy 💖🐾

A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL OF MY WONDERFUL CLIENTS. AND WISHING YOU A VERY HAPPY 2022 🎊🙏🎉🎉🐾
