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 😊

Please could I ask that clients try to collect their dogs at the agreed time and not 5 to 10 minutes early ?

We aim for your dog to be finished on time, and during a busy day this requires organisation on a sometimes complicated scale.

If you arrive early and your dog sees you, we have little to no chance of keeping his or her attention to ensure that we have finished off the trim properly.

We fully understand that 5 to 10 minutes doesn’t seem to to be a massive thing, but in those last minutes of a planned trim it’s the difference between getting the final touches finished or not.

We take huge pride in our work and we hope this is reflected in the standard of trimming in our salon.

Thank you for your cooperation 😊

Obesity in dogs is becoming more common…..

The chart below is very useful to help determine if your dog is overweight.

Dogs that are overweight can experience problems with their joints, feet, nails, hearts and breathing.

Keeping your dog to a healthy weight is quite easy to achieve…

Regular exercise for your dog is beneficial in so many ways ….it keeps weight down and improves health in so many ways. It doesn’t just help with weight management…..it allows a dog to experience the environment by sniffing and exploring so it’s a great way to mentally stimulate him or her. And naturally it’s great for us humans too 👍🏻

Feeding the right amount of good quality food is essential…and don’t leave food down to allow your dog to graze at will. Treats that contain a lot of fat and salt will contribute to a weight problem.

Dogs love cat food…..but cat food isn’t a good idea….it doesn’t contains the right balance of nutrients for dogs so it’s best to keep it away from your dog.

Most vets are happy to offer advice and help you manage your dog’s nutrition and weight.

A healthy dog is a happy dog ❤️
