I attended an excellent Miniature Schnauzer Workshop run by the fabulous Andrea Holland @stokinpaws61 today. Feeling very inspired and can’t wait to put my newly learnt skills into practice! #cosbydoggroomers #nevertoooldtolearn #continuedprofessionaldevelopment
My little groom room 🛁🧼✂️💕
Had a busy cleaning day today! Ready to start back tomorrow 💕
I could hardly go near this little girl with a hairdryer 2 years ago. Now look at her being blasted with the high velocity dryer! Nailed it Lulu! #cosbydoggroomers #pug #overcomingfears
🤣🤣🤣 Actually it’s to protect our ears from the loud blaster but is just effective on Monty, the loudest dog to grace my groom room 🤣 Love Monty. (Excuse the naked face and messy hair 🤪) 🤎 🤍 🖤
Happy New Year everyone! Unfortunately owing to Covid not only did a few of your dogs miss their Christmas grooms, so did mine… Good job!!! State of them!!!
It appears to be impossible to take a photo of the adolescents this week. Far too hyped.

LETS TALK ABOUT TICKS 🤢🧛♀️
What are ticks?
Ticks rank second only to mosquitoes in infectious disease spread to both pets and people. Ticks are small creatures that are closely related to spiders and can be predominantly found lurking in grassy areas, such as fields and meadows.
Why are ticks a risk to dog health?
Ticks are parasites and so always require a host to feed from, but also to provide somewhere to find a mate for breeding too. Ticks can also pick up disease from one mammalian host and then pass it onto another (including humans), resulting in a serious risk of disease spread.
What do ticks look like?
Varying in shape, colour and size, ticks are generally oval, flat and small: the size of a sesame seed when unfed, but once completely engorged with blood, they grow to the size and shape of a coffee bean. They look for hosts to latch onto, often by climbing to the top of a long blade of grass and waiting (a behaviour known as 'questing') for passing mammalian traffic, i.e. a sheep, cat, hedgehog, dog, or even you!
What effects do ticks cause?
Ticks aren't just pests that feast on your dog and cause them to itch; they can also be carriers of some serious diseases. UK ticks can carry a devastating condition called lyme disease, caused by serious bacteria, which affects both muscle and nerve cells.
How can I tell if my dog has ticks?
After taking your dog for a walk, it’s a good idea to check them for ticks. You can do this by moving your hands over their body to check for any unusual small bumps, particularly around their:
Ears
Head
Neck
Groin
Armpits
Feet
Ticks vary in size, but you should be able to see their oval-shaped body, which will get bigger as it fills with blood. Ticks may go inside a dog’s ear, so if your dog is shaking their head a lot, it’s worth having a careful look inside with a torch.
What are the signs of lyme disease?
If incorrectly diagnosed, and even left untreated, lyme disease can result in an extremely seriou

I think I may be painting Betsy’s claws later 🤣🤣🤣
Lovely Winnie the schnauzer was in need of a lockdown overhaul today. Fabulous colouring and she was so easy to groom. No tap dancing, no licking me to death, no doing circles on the table. She was a dream... 💚
Competition winner - Shyla!
Puppy playtime with Sunnee. He’s so fluffy!
Another pup, Willow drying her face off after her second puppy groom. Tolerating the dryer better but prefers her own method apparently... 🤣
