As some of you may already know, my daughter has a serious medical problem and is in hospital.

We will be trying our best to offer our usual services and appointments, but please be patient and understanding if I need to contact you to postpone your dog’s slot with us.

Your cooperation is greatly appreciated 😊

Many thanks, Eve

Need to have a moan I’m afraid.

I am finding that more and more I’m having to chase clients who pay by bank transfer, to pay their grooming fees…..sometimes for up to a week after their appointments…..

This wouldn’t happen if you shop in Tesco’s.

I try to be understanding and I know that things get forgotten, but I now need to impose a new rule…..

We require payment before you pick your dog/s up…simple as that.

If you pay by cash please take the time to get the cash from a machine before your appointment……if you pay by transfer please do so before you collect your dog.

If we don’t get paid we will not re-book dogs until we receive the missing money AND the next appointment’s fees in advance.

I will do whatever I can to help my clients and their dogs, but I’m not a registered charity and require payment for the considerable services that we offer.

Many thanks for your understanding.

I’ve had a couple of sideways moans from clients about our professional charges so I did a bit of research and this is how I see it…..

I you take your dog to a vet for toenails to be trimmed you will be paying about £25-00…

If they express the a**l gland as well you could be looking at paying the best part of £60-00…..

An average grooming appointment will, or should, deliver the following services…..

Health check, nails trimmed, ears cleaned, sanitary areas clipped out, coat brushed through, knots removed, bathing, conditioning, glands emptied where required, drying and skilful trimming. All dogs have comfort walks outside.

Then there’s the little extra things like sometimes cleaning up wee and poo in the salon, the baths or our crates…….often because the dogs haven’t been out before they’re brought to the salon.

Our energy bills are horrible, our insurances increase every year, and we use what we consider to be the best products.

And we are highly qualified.

So please try to understand that our charges are extremely fair and competitive.

You could probably get a cheaper service but I doubt you’ll find a better one.

So the last dog has been groomed and the salon is now closed until Tuesday January 14th 2025.

I would like to say a massive thank you to all our loyal clients who have trusted us with their precious and beautiful dogs throughout the year.

I have been a commercial dog groomer for most of my life and I still love the job…..and I think it’s a very important one.

I wish you all a very Happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year,

See you in 2025 ❤️❤️

🎄🐾 **Keep Your Dog Safe This Christmas!** 🐾🎄
Christmas Festivities are full of delicious treats, but not all are safe for your dogs. Here are some essential tips to keep your pup happy and healthy this festive season:
🚫 **Onions and Garlic**: Common in stuffing and gravy—highly toxic to dogs.
🚫 **Chocolate**: Contains theobromine, which is harmful and can be fatal.
🚫 **Grapes and Raisins**: Even small amounts can lead to kidney failure.
🚫 **Alcohol**: Never give your dog alcohol—it’s extremely dangerous.
🚫 **Nuts**: Some are toxic, and all are high in fat, which can upset their stomach.
✅ **Educate Guests**: Let family and friends know what’s safe (and not safe) to feed your dog.
✅ **Safe Treats**: Keep dog-friendly treats on hand to indulge your pet without any risks.
✅ **Secure Rubbish Bins**: Make sure leftovers and scraps are disposed of properly to stop your pup from scavenging.
🐾 **If in doubt, consult a vet.** Protect your dogs so you can enjoy the season together! 🐕💝

This weekend I have been away at the West Midlands Terrier Society judging the Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers ….a breed very close to my heart.

This beautiful boy called Magnus was my Best of Breed.

The Soft Coated Wheaten’s KC Breed Standard says that over trimming should be penalised and that they should be shown to present a natural outline.

His owner Jane, who exhibits him, has definitely achieved this…

A beautiful dog and it was a pleasure to judge him 😊
