Happy Tails - Pet Care

25/04/2022

Hi everyone. After much thought and consideration it is with a heavy heart that Happy Tails will be permanently closing. I am unable to work properly with grooming how I would need to in order to be the best for you and your dogs. And it isn’t not fair that I keep you hanging on waiting for me to come back.
I am truly thankful to each and everyone of you for making these last 3 and a half years amazing. Feel free to add me on Facebook (Sam wheatley) and keep me updated on you pooches.
I will miss this but at this moment I need to concentrate on getting myself better
Thank you for understanding
Much love Sam

Hi everyone it’s Dec. I just want to let you know Sam is okay but is going through some personal things and is needing a little break.
I will try and get as much messages back as soon as I can.
Thank you to everyone that has sent her well wishes.

Okay I think it’s over!!!
Today was day 2 of negative results 🙌 which means work can continue as normal from tomorrow.
I’ve messaged everyone that has contacted me over the last 10 days.
Thank you for being patient.

Heya everyone!!
So I’m still testing positive for covid. The line is faint but still there so I cannot come back to work. I’m contacting people two days in advance since I need two free days before I can go out.
I’ve got (what feels like) a million messages from everyone I’ve had to cancel and others.
As soon as I have one day free (test) I will start contacting for rebooks.
Rebooks will be priority over new bookings.
Thank you for being patient and understanding.
The cabin fever is real.
Hope to see you all soon.
Sam

OUR COVID UPDATE:
We got our PCR test results back this morning and we are positive. 😔 which annoying and obviously means this week will be cancelled. (I’ve got to figure out when I can come back for next week).
I’ll contact everyone individually to explain.

Have a great week.
Sam

It’s finally hit us. 😩 Our lateral flow tests have come back positive. Mondays clients have been spoken too, however I will work through the week once I get the results from the PCR test we have done this afternoon.
Please be patient as even if the PCR comes back negative, I am still ill and just looking at my phone hurts at the moment.

Thank you for understanding
Sam 🐕🐾❤️

Happy New Years everyone!
I’m back taking messages as of today.
Please still be aware that I’m still technically on holiday and I’m not on my phone all day (someone’s got to clear Christmas up 🤣)
Get booking in for your new year grooms as January is getting full.

Happy Tails team would like to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a fantastic new year.
We’ve had a super busy time these last few months and as you my can tell by the pooches, we are very tired. 😴 looking forward to some time off.

Thank you for your continued support over the last year. And thank you for your Christmas cards, gift and tips that you have so kindly given us over the last few weeks.

We’ll see you in 2022!!!
Sam, Courtney and Dec

Hello December!!
Couple of things to announce.:
1. We are fully booked until the new year. Anyone that is booked in please remember to confirm your appointment by 8pm the day before (I will message you) or I have a waiting list to work from and will offer out. Cancellation within 24 hours require 50% of appointment cost to rebook for 2022.
2. I’ve tried not to do this but as of January all clip prices will be going up £5 each. Multiple dog discounts can still apply, however please message me and I can tell you personally what your new cost will be. Bath prices will remain the same.
3. Next year I will not be working any weekends. I shouldn’t have to explain why but I’ve got a lot of things going on and I need a break at some point. Burn out will not help anyone if I’m not making time for myself.
4. My appointment times are from 9am and 3pm and I will also not be moving later than this until around the Christmas time of 2022
Thank you for I understanding and I’ll either see you in the next couple of weeks or next year.

I hate fireworks but I am lucky enough to have two dogs that aren’t bothered by them.
However, for the poor four legged friends that are terrified of them, here are a few hints and tips.
I hope it helps them and you get through this weekend. ❤️❤️

Also if your having a bonfire… check for hedgehogs that may have made a bed before you light it, please!!!

Happy November!! Best month of the year… only coz it’s my birthday (honestly, it’s too cold)

So bookings are few and far between from now until Christmas. Still message though as I might just be in the right area for you!!!

I’m being very strict that no late appointments or weekends will be made, I have to get my own Christmas sorted and I’ve stretched myself too much before.

From other years experience get your New Years bookings in too.

We will be finishing work on the 23rd December and coming back on the 5th January.

❤️🐕❤️

Happy Halloween!!! 🎃

Hope you have a spooky day!!! 👻

Love Pru and Dab

I know this is a dog page but we must care for all animals.

Let’s not create more waste this Halloween, so don’t just throw your pumpkins away… take them to a near pig farm, or leave them up high for squirrels.

It worries me that so many post just tell you to leave them in the woods or on the floor…. They are toxic to hedgehogs, so don’t do that!!

(Picture not mine)

13/10/2021

Sooo we’re back home!!! And I’ll be honest I look about as pleased as Pru in this pic, haha.

However, we would like to introduce Courtney to our team… she is our new apprentice and over the next two years you’ll be getting to know her as she works through her course.

01/10/2021

It’s getting a bit chilly here so we’re popping off to Spain until the 13th!
My dairy is staying at home as October is fully booked, any messages will be answered as and when and bookings made once we are back.

Thank you for understanding and your continued support.
❤️🐕❤️

21/09/2021

Where has this year gone!!!

I have my 2022 dairy ready to go!! Appointments are already being made.
My regulars we can sort it out either on your next appointment or just give me a message of how many bookings in advance you want and I will sort it out.

16/09/2021

A couple of things to address:
I have said this a million times but again, please book in advance!!!!!
November is where it’s pretty much where we are at for appointments now.

Don’t forget to book for Christmas!!!

And if you are in isolation, waiting on a PCR test, or have been told you are COVID positive. Please let me know as soon as possible.
It will not go against you, this is world we’re in at the moment but even though I am outside, I see so many people I cannot risk their health or my living.

🐕❤️🐕

15/09/2021

Thank you to everyone that applied for the apprenticeship that we had posted.

The position has now been filled.

We apologise to any one that we did not managed to get round to contacting. They’re was a lot of applicants.
Once again thank you.

06/09/2021

Appointment update:
So it’s the end of August!!! Where did that go?!?
September is extremely booked up, there is few places. Remember area is dependent on appointments.

We are away from the 1st of October to the 13th. And appointments are stacking up in October.

Whilst I’m here I might as well mention Christmas, dates are being booked already and this year I will not be able to squeeze people in the way I’ve done the last couple of years.

Basically…. Book now!!!!

16/08/2021

We are now offering microchipping on dogs!!

£20 for one single dog.
£15 for first multiple dog and £10 for any other after.
Bookings must be made at least 4 weeks in advance for puppy litters and cannot be done at the same as a groom or bath.
We do the registration for you and leave you with all the details if ownership ever needs changing.

Please message on here or text my number.

❤️❤️

Appointment update.
It might only be the 2nd day of August but we are pretty much full for it!!
There are a few appointments for small single dogs or baths. (Area to be takeing into account).
But other than that we are looking at September bookings!!!

I’ll do another post later on but if you’ve read this far we would recommend getting your Christmas bookings in also. As they are starting to fill.

❤️🐕

21/07/2021

Appointment update:
July is fully booked!! For people who are booked in in you need to cancel, please let me know as soon as possible. This includes if you go into isolation!!

AUGUST: Is pretty much booked up also, there are a few days and times available at this moment.

I have a cancellation list a mile long of people wanting to get in so if you are booked in and do not confirm your appointment the night I ask for confirmation, your appointment will be offered to someone else that morning, and you will have to rebook.

16/07/2021

Today has been a scorcher and tomorrow is meant to be 29 degrees!!!
Don’t forget your dogs will be fine missing a walk for a few days. But they can die for being walked at the wrong time.
There are plenty of in home enrichments that you can do for them instead.

Keep them safe. ❤️❤️
