Groom Groom

Advance notice of temporary closure :

Groom Groom will be closed from the 18th December until approximately 1st February.

Unfortunately I need to have an operation and will need time off to recover. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience.

I will be back in touch with everyone when I can give a definite start date.

Important stuff this week :

It's most likely I will be off throughout January. I need to have a wee operation and I'm just waiting on confirmation of the date. I will be in touch with everyone individually but just wanted to mention it now.

Back to the best bit though.... the doggies 🧡

Not much this week because of appointments 🫤

Big shout out to all my lovely customers. Thank you for not letting your dogs get in the state Roxy was in 🤦🏼‍♀️ No knots but ridiculously overdue 😄

It's the school holidays now - I am working but with a slightly reduced service so I can spend time with the boys 🙂

Still had time to sort all my lovely dog photos for the week though.

Have a lovely, relaxing weekend everyone 🐾

They've all had first class care and cuddles as always🥰

Thank goodness it's Friday. Had to groom three dogs today. I'm not used to that 😃 A day off this week though to have a welding job done on my table.

Not been very successful with my photos this week so here's what I managed.

Have a lovely weekend everyone 🐾

Parvovirus in Fife

You might have read about the recent outbreak of Parvovirus in Fife.

It's important to be well informed so I have added a link to the Blue Cross website for you to read.

Please keep your dog off the grass when you come in and make sure you understand about the risks and prevention of Parvo. Any signs of your dog being unwell, even if vaccinated, do not come to your appointment and call to rearrange.

Let's keep our doggies as safe as possible 🧡

Canine parvovirus is a highly contagious disease that can be fatal to dogs. Puppies aged six weeks to six months are most at risk. Read our expert advice to prevent your dog getting parvovirus.

ROADWORKS

Please remember to leave extra time if you're having to drive through the roadworks at the roundabout by train station.

If you arrive more than 15 minutes over your appointment time it's unlikely I will be able to groom your dog. I've very few available appointments over the next month or so.

The roadworks are due to last until November 😬

What makes a groom? Quite a lot actually....

I've talked about grooming a spaniel before so today I'll talk about a Cockapoo.

1. Ensure the dog is fit and healthy enough to be groomed. Nose to tail health check.
2. Brush thoroughly. Remove all knots and matts 🫤
3. Roughly clip off the hair to the right length to avoid washing and drying coat that's coming off anyway!
4. Bath: Shampoo x 2. Conditioner - this is attracted to the negatively charged shampoo. It helps to destroy bacteria and coats the hair shaft making it less prone to knotting!
5. Blaster dryer to remove most of the water, help straighten the coat and lets me see the skin for any issues.
6. Finishing dryer, brushing and combing to set the coat ready for clipping.

That's the prep work complete!

7. Clip.
8. Scissor finish legs, scissor tail, face & feet.
9. Mini trimmers to clear pads.
10. Big trimmers for sanitary area, armpits etc.
11. Cut nails.
12. Clean ears.
13. Re-check for stray hairs!
14. Spritz of cologne.
15. Cuddle dog 🧡

I've kept it brief but I think us groomers earn our money!

I hope you're still awake and enjoy my gallery 😃🐾

Not much going on this week as I need 2 days off but the dogs I did have in, I absolutely loved grooming.

I've had to remove quite a few ticks recently and lots from Zoe and Roxy's coats. Be sure to keep your flea and tick treatment up to date and check your dogs regularly.

⭐ Not everyone is seeing my posts so if you like my weekly dogs please be sure to give them some likes to keep them visible ⭐

Slightly less dogs than usual but no less busy! Lots of hair so lots of work and longer groom times 💪🏼

My diary is pretty much full until the end of July now. Lots of you were very organised and got your appointments booked in. Well done! 😃

Don't forget to check your dogs regularly for ticks. Just taken quite a few of the dogs. Thankfully they were still wandering around their coats!

I hope you like my gallery.
