Today I welcomed Buddy into the salon for his first initial meet.
Buddy was too nervous for a groom today so we focused on his nails and will try and slowly introduce bits and pieces on each visit - Welldone Buddy 💙

HOW COLD IS IT…?! 🥶
Only one thing for it … A nice warm lodge… warm bubble baths and cuddles under the dryer.

Your dog’s wellbeing in this cold weather is priority. The towels have been heated and I will be getting them dry as quickly as possible ❤️❤️

Amazing webinar last night with Pet Remedy’s behaviour coach Andrew Hale. The subject was emotional wellbeing.

When you work with animals some of us naturally take on more than the “job” in hand and this needs managing so that I can be in the best head space for every pooch that visits ❤️🙌

😆 Lottie got caught in the rain this morning walking up to the lodge - she LOVES a muddy puddle ❤️❤️

So… the end of 2024 and not going to lie I feel EXHAUSTED…. BUT There is no other job in the world I would want to be exhausted for 😆

I am so so grateful for the time I spend in the company of the dogs and also the great relationships I have with my clients . Each and every dog that I get to groom is an extension to my own family and I love them all so so much.

Happy new year to you and your pooches.. let’s hope for a calm, peaceful, healthy year ahead.

Thanks for your constant support 🙌❤️

Dog sitting duties today for one of my wonderful clients.

Me and Megs enjoyed a 5 mile walk in the countryside together followed by cuddles on the sofa. BLISS.

Remember I can help with dog sitting duties depending on dates and requirements around my grooming diary.

⭐️ THIS SERVICE IS ONLY FOR MY CLIENTS ⭐️

One of the most common issues i see in the grooming salon is.. ear issues/infections.

To be able to help and assist you and your dog(s) I decided to attend a course taught by a vet to learn more information.

Ear infections are SO SO painful for your dog, even if you think they are showing no signs…

⭐️ ‼️ It is recommend that as a groomer I only pluck ears that are prone to issues and I have been advised by a vet of the underlined issue. If the ear is sore and diseased this must be resolved before any grooming can take place
Ears should not be plucked or cleaned as part of a general routine or a puppy intro. Healthy ears should be left alone for the ears to natural clean themselves ‼️ ⭐️

A common use of the leftovers carcass is putting it out for the wildlife.

First of all its not good for them but lets look at what can happen if your dog gets hold of it.

CHOKING

Bone fragments are a choking hazard, potentially blocking the dog's oesophagus and restricting their breathing. Especially when a dog tries to eat quickly.
If your dog is choking, gagging, retching, drinking a lot of water, licking their lips, pacing anxiously or is unable to sit or lie down comfortably, call your Vet 🚑

GASTROINTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION

These fragments can get stuck and cause dangerous gastrointestinal blockages requiring surgery 🚑

PERFORATIONS AND TEARS

Turkey bones break easily into shards that can puncture the stomach and intestines leading to peritonitis and can be life threatening.🚑

PANCREATITIS

High fat foods like the turkey skin etc can cause inflammation of the Pancreas causing Pancreatitis.
Most cases need immediate medical attention. Acute pancreatitis symptoms can include distended, painful abdomen, loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhoea , dehydration, and yellow greasy or foamy stool.
It can be life threatening 🚑

SALMONELLA

The carcass can also create dangers as it may harbor salmonella, an organism that lives in the turkey’s intestinal tract.
If the carcass sits out at room temperature for too long, the bacteria will multiply, and pets can become violently ill from eating it. This can happen feeding the giblets too if not fresh 🦠

CONSTIPATION OR DIARRHOEA

Eating too much bone can cause digestive issues including constipation or the opposite, diarrhoea which may need Veterinary intervention.
If your dog produces black faeces, call your Vet as this can be a symptom of internal bleeding

BONE BROTH

You could use the carcass and make a great healthy bone broth for your dog 🐶
