Just a heads up, if you want a December appointment, I only have 18 slots left between now and end of the year (11 left in December). If you want an appointment, give me a nudge

Ive set up a themed party bag (side) business aimed at 3-7 yr olds with a more eco friendly angle - Trying to reduce single use plastics. All bags are handmade by me and either filled or unfilled.

I’ve just made some Dino bags for my friends kid (pictured) but have other options on my website.

Please share if you know anyone that might be interested and follow on insta - goodebagsuk

With all the extortionate fuel costs at the moment I thought I’d let you know that to plug my van in costs less than £1 for each groom I do.

Hope this reassures everyone…Fuel to get to you is another matter 🤣😱

Really interesting, if you have a k9 julius type harness you should definitely have a rethink

These harnesses 😤 they can cause shoulder and neck injury. I see them on dogs and have a physical swear out loud, but quietly under my breath (yes that makes no sense). Don’t use them x

Edit: I recommend a well fitted harness usually a Y shape as a better alternative as they allow for more fluid movement. The one below restricts shoulder extension and applies a lot of pressure around the dogs chest rather than it being distributed in an more even fashion.

It’s amazing what a difference a groom makes to a dog 🥰

Always worth hiding the selection box, but if the furry one finds it keep this chart in mind

Don’t forget about the choc tox calculator, found by typing in those words into the Google search bar.

Below shows how much of each chocolate type can be toxic to dogs of various weights. Stay safe this Christmas and out the chocolates where the dogs and cats can’t get them!

Fireworks, absolute HELL for some dogs. I had one dog, Chops, who would happily sit and watch them, out of choice. But Izzy my collie is a scared, a shaking wreck of a dog. So how do I manage her? What can you try?

There are several option you can try, some you will need to discuss with your vet.

Firstly dog noise cancelling head phones. Designed specifically for dogs. These will help those scared of noises.

Porridge made with chamomile tea - calming and relaxing.

Nutracalm - natural, effective, but will need to come from your vet.

Sileo gel - medication that needs to be prescribed, good for those with noise aversion.

Thunder shirts - swaddle your dog like a new-born baby. Can comfort and settle.

Calming floral spray/calm cat from Vita Canis - natural & homemade aromatherapy based, essential oils for dogs and hydrosols for cats (as they cannot tolerate essential oils)

If your dog struggles, I really feel for you and them. Firework night seems to be firework week or month these days. The suggestions above will work better for some than others.

Been updating my doggy 1st aid today 🐶🤕🏨

This is excellent

This picture has been shared a lot, and I couldn’t help but read as a vet and think about it. Euthanasia is a crappy but sometimes relieving part of the job. And yes I say feed what you like beforehand, all their favourites.

You know I’m so lucky not to have had to put a healthy dog to sleep, but I have been asked. I’ve just been able to find an alternative. One of those healthy dogs who was on death row lives with me, and has done for the last 9 years! The lovely Izzy. You see her in my online canine first aid course.

Deciding if a pet needs to be put to sleep is one of those difficult responsibilities when being a pet owner/parent. But you do need to think about it when they are struggling and remember you ARE giving the most dignified ending. I often give sedation first to make the process less daunting for everyone. But it will never be easy.

Write a list of their favourite things to eat, play with, and places to walk. Write 10 things down that you know your dog loves, and when they start to lose interest tick them off. When you are reaching the lower numbers think about their quality of life. Are they here because they enjoy life or are they here to make your life better. There is no shame thinking we can’t live without them, but take the higher ground and think about what life is like for them. That is tough to do I absolutely know that.

We are their voice, we are their world, we are their protectors. ❤️

As you may have seen in the news, scientists in Massachusetts have found a link between canine consumption of peas and other pulses, and the development of canine dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) – an often fatal condition that causes a dog's heart muscle to enlarge. Researchers compared dog foods that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have associated with canine DCM, and traditional dog foods. They discovered some that might be related to DCM, with peas and other pulses being ingredients commonly appearing. Pulses, such as peas or lentils, and potatoes are included in many grain-free dog foods. The FDA have emphasised that pulses have been used in pet food for many years, with no evidence to indicate they are inherently harmful to dogs.
Although the research team have revealed a link between canine consumption of pulses and DCM, the relationship is not clear. More research is definitely needed to further clarify, and the team do not advise a product recall for the foods in question.
Pet owners should consult with their vet for advice on healthy, nutritionally-balanced diets tailored to their dog’s life stage, breed, lifestyle and specific health needs.

Non work related but if any of you have horses/looking for excellent quality hay, my dad has 60 bales spare from his field (he keeps field free of ragwort and thistles and is lovely sweet hay) he may be able to deliver if needed. £5 a bale. Let me know if interested

I’m sooo glad my fur baby is home after her almost 2wk vet ordeal and major operation. Lumbry park and pet doctors Chandler’s Ford have been outstanding. Thank you to my amazing customers for baring with me during this time and having grooming appointments messed around. X

Labradoodle’s first proper groom. Always daunting as puppy’s first full make over can change the look. 🥰

YES!!! 🥳🥳🥳

We're delighted to announce that the bill to increase maximum sentences for animal cruelty from six months to five years has finally passed through parliament! 🎉 Blue Cross has campaigned for this law, with other animal welfare charities, for many years and we are delighted that progress has happened. This law will now send a message that animal cruelty will not be tolerated.
