**POLITE NOTICE **

To all customers please note, if you are aware of your dog has fleas and you do not inform me before hand unfortunately there will be a £10 fee added due to me having to De-flea your dog/fumigate the salon straight after before next appt, I understand that in some cases some owners are unaware due to them being shaved off but it’s just not fair on me and my other dogs I groom, it cost’s me alot of money to fumigate the salon each time plus time and then having to arrange a different time slot for the next appt due to the spray I use, as it’s the best one, so unfortunately from now on if any dogs come in to salon I’m gonna have to charge an extra £10 for this, I’ve been keeping my prices as low as poss as I know times are hard for everyone but I can’t keep letting things slide no more sorry about the little rant guys but it’s happening far to much now and all I’m asking is a little honesty from owners when booking appt so I know the appropriate action can take place for your slot and not book my next appt straight after. Also lateness for an appt this is happening far to many times also so unfortunately if any customer is more than 15 mins late for there appt they will need to rebook due to me having other appts in then I’m running very far behind due to a late arrival and then I’m working til late at night and having 2/3 dogs waiting around as I’m behind again my apologies for this post but I can’t carry on and let things slide, I try and make sure everyone gets appt within a few days notice so please can all owners just help me a little lol 😂.

Many thanks Jen xx

GRASS SEEDS 🌿🌱🍃⛔️

Grass seeds may look completely harmless, but they can cause significant issues. We recommend checking your dog coat for grass seeds after each walk.

⛔️ How to avoid grass seeds:
Prevention is the best cure in making sure you do not get grass seeds stuck in your dog’s paws, eara, eyes, or anywhere else for that matter.

Over the past couple of months I have had a few dogs come in to me with grass seeds stuck between toes and I have managed to remove them just in time before infection has started and often recommend the Client to have there feet trimmed in between the toes to prevent this from happening as it will help the owner to check after each walk and to prevent further incidents of these 🥰✂️🐩

Are you thinking of buying a doodle, or Cockapoo, or any Poodle cross? Have you got one of these puppies and been told they don't need grooming until they are a year old, or that their coat maintenance is easy? If so please read this. (The original post was written by an unknown groomer but I have edited it quite a lot! Please feel free to share.)

Poodle crosses (cockapoos, doodles, maltipoos etc.) are not "easy breeds" to maintain. The photo attached (shared from another groomer) shows how matting forms at the skin. By looking at this dog's top coat, you may not see the knots and you may not feel them as you would a knot on the ends of the fur but under that fluffy top layer this is going on. Once it starts its very difficult/ impossible to brush out... and even if you could it would be cruel to put the dog through it. Maintenance at home has to be more than a quick once over for these dogs if you want to keep them in that fluffy coat which was probably one of the reasons you chose a poodle cross in the first place. You really need to sit down with a brush and then a metal comb and make sure you can get it through the entire body at least 2 to 3 times a week.

I often feel like owners don't believe groomers when they say their dog has to be clipped very short. I always hear "I know he/she is matted, but leave as much as you can". You cannot clip through matting, you can only clip under it. As this photo shows, clipping under the matting means taking the coat back to the skin.
I promise you, your groomer really doesn't want to do this but they won't hurt your dog by putting it through dematting, they also don't want to hurt their reputation when the clients go around complaining about how the last groomer "scalped" their dog but there really is not any alternative. Instead of being angry with your groomer if they clip your dog very short please respect their commitment to do what is in your dog's best interest, accept responsibility for not having brushed your dog properly at home, and work with your groomer because, together, you can prevent this happening again. All groomers will be very happy to demonstrate a technique called line brushing which will help make your grooming at home more effective. Just ask! We all want owners to know how to do this

Poodle crosses are easily one of the highest maintenance dogs in reference to their coats. The combination of the soft coat they are mixing poodles with these days is a coat that is extremely prone to matting.

If you like a fluffy pup, you probably need to consider no more than 3-5 week intervals between grooming and set aside time for regular brushing AND combing at home.

Please know, if you bathe your poodle cross you really need to blow dry and brush out right after. Moisture, be it a bath, rain, swimming, snow etc are all going to make matting worse. If you know your dog is already matted-- bathing is only going to make it worse! Brush out before the bath.

Lastly "breeders" who say these dogs can't or shouldnt be clipped and not to give them a hair cut until they are one year old are misleading potential owners in order to sell puppies and setting them up for a sad day when they finally take their pup to the groomer.

If this hasn't put you off buying one please schedule your puppy's first groom immediately after they've had their vaccinations and then be prepared to do the maintenance at home between regular professional grooms. (Picture by Paola Perez)
