I had the joy of 3x Havanese this week! All so well behaved and it turns out they came from the same breeder as my boy! Looking forward to more cuddles in a few weeks for their next trims. 😁

When new customers contact me, they often just ask about the price. While I totally appreciate the price is an important factor for budgeting, grooming (or choosing a groomer) should be about more than the price. I'm definitely not the cheapest - there will always be new and different groomers who are cheaper, that's always the case and there will always be a market for the cheaper and more expensive groomer, just like supermarkets. But whereas a chocolate bar in one shop is the same as that chocolate bar in another shop save for the price, groomers are not chocolate bars. Within my 'price' you are paying for a haircut yes, but also your dogs' and your experience, and my experience and skill as a groomer to do a good job, deliver a good experience and limit any inherent risks.
Nearly every week I have new dogs starting with me who hate the process because they've learnt it's horrible from previous salons, and I have to try and undo that. It upsets me. But in most cases I can build a trusting relationship with the dog and they improve over time, which brings no end of happy feelings to all involved. While it's true that most dogs never LOVE the process, to me there's no reason why they should HATE it .....and that is what you are paying for when you choose me as your dog's groomer.....as well as a decent hair cut and service of course....

My boy was spreading the summer vibes on our recent camping trip...it took 3x shampoos to rectify!

Don't you love it when you're stroking your dog and feel something in their fur... so you wiggle it about trying to see what it is then realise it's a tick 🤢 they give me the heebie-jeebies every time! They can transmit Lymes disease - to your dog or you, so they're important to remove swiftly and safely. Find out how here...

Ticks are a type of ectoparasite - a parasite that lives on but not inside another animal's body, and can carry and transmit zoonotic diseases - that affect humans. Other examples of ectoparasites are fleas, lice and mites. Ticks can be seen with the naked eye and range from the size of a sesame see...

I specialise in starting puppies on their grooming journeys - it's such an important thing to get right, in the right environment, with the right person so your dog doesn't end up with a lifetime of hating this vital care.
This puppy is a special one......after a few years of having no dog myself, I caved 😁 after much research we went for a Havanese to fit in with family life ..... and of course he'll be a regular in the salon keeping his luscious locks maintained!!

I'm very excited to now be able to offer tooth brushing as a service to help improve and maintain the health and happiness of your dogs. Dental care is so important, but I realise how difficult it can be to find the time to do it at home, so let me help you with this vital task.

It can be booked as an ad on to grooms, or as a stand alone service - for example if your dog doesn't need hair cuts or even if you use a different groomer for your dogs hair cuts.

More info to follow but give me a shout now to get your dog booked in and on the way to being a happier, healthier pooch 😁🐶🪥

Cuteness overload! In for his first bath and brush session ('before' pictures) which is the second step on my puppy introduction program. I specialise in starting puppies off on their grooming journey (the right way!), taking them from wriggly newbie to their first haircut....and beyond!
Do you know anyone who's getting a new puppy? I'd love to hear from them 😊

**HALF PRICE GROOM OFFER** I'm currently completing a further dog grooming qualification and I need to showcase various breed styles with 'before' and 'after' pictures to be done here in Gotherington. Dogs need to be well behaved in the grooming environment (not aggressive or difficult with nails). I would really like the opportunity to beautify the following:
1) Double drop coat breed - Shih Tzu/ Lhasa Apso/ Tibetan Terrier/ Havanese etc
2) Westie/ Cairn (ideally with a bit of leg hair/skirt but not essential)
3) Something with a centre-fall head style - Lakeland Terrier/ Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier/ Kerry Blue/ Sealyham terrier etc

Other desired pups would be a Scottie/ Bedlington/ Welsh Terrier/ Wire-Haired Fox Terrier/ Bichon or Poodle

Do let me know if you have any of these breeds and would like to have a half price groom at Regency Grooming in Gotherington! Many thanks

A recent Airedale hand strip! Hand stripping is a technique used for wire coats (Terriers, Schnauzers etc) to maintain the correct wiry texture and rich colours. While it's not a difficult process per se, it is time consuming ....and hard work! Show dogs would be stripped a little every week to develop a rolled coat (where you always have new wiry hair coming through in stages).
Cocker spaniels are another breed that can be stripped .... though it's much less common.

Any guesses on what breed this cutie pie is? (not a cross breed) 🧡

One appointment available on the 15th Dec and one on the 17th. If you'd like to get your pooch spruced up before Christmas, send me an email at [email protected] 🎅

I always try and get a before & after pic of a puppy's first proper haircut and here's a cute one of a very large fluffy GoldenDoodle!

With lockdown now extended, Regency Grooming continue to be available for 'welfare' grooms. i.e. if you can keep on top of the tangles until lockdown is over then please stay home, but if your dog's coat is getting matted or out of control, feel free to get in touch
