Handsome Chai had his first visit with us this week 🖤

He was a bit of a mess when he came in and his mummy decided to give him a bit of a face trim so the finished groom isn’t perfect but I can’t stick hair back on 😅

Absolutely loved the finish on his legs which would not have been possible without the fabulous Lift comb from 🖤

We think we have figured out the problem with the shower. Have a part coming tomorrow which 🤞🏻 will fix it! We will now be open Sunday instead of Saturday. Thank you to all my amazing clients for being so understanding 🖤

Any plumbers able to come take a look at my electric shower? It’s just broken 🙈 it’s turning on but it’s leaking a lot of water out the bottom of the shower unit and I can’t use it as it’s flooding the floor when I try 😫

✨✨Client Notice ✨✨

It is ridiculously busy at the minute as I am getting a lot of clients from another groomer that is temporarily closed and I am busy anyway 😅

I am trying to fit you all in as best I can. I am basically full for July as it stands. If you are desperate I will do an out of hours appointment starting early or finishing late but this will be at an added charge as it’s taking from my own time and I am busy myself 🙈

Picture just because we all know this is me walking back over with a pair of scissors cause I’ve spotted something! 🤣🤣

Emma had glow up this week 🖤

Picture of my girl just cause she’s cute!

Does anyone have a large tile cutter that I could borrow tomorrow? Happy to pay back in grooming services or a small fee 🖤 really don’t want to spend over £200 on a tile cutter!

✨✨ Luna ✨✨
Luna was in desperate need of a blow out! Good scrub all over in blown away and a blast with the dryer and she’s looking and feeling fabulous 🖤

It’s really important to regularly deshed these types of coats as a build up of coat can cause them to get dry flaky skin and could even result in them needing to be clipped off if the undercoat gets very tightly matted.

✨ Jake ✨ Such a handsome boy! And just look at that shine 😍

Luna 🖤 what a little cutie 🥰

17/06/2024

I will aim to be as productive as I can be today sorting appointments etc but bear with me. I was at the emergency vets with this one til 4am and I am very tired 😔 I have a long list of jobs that have to get done today so will try and make it on to appointments later. To make it easier for me if you have messaged about an appointment if you can only do certain days/ mornings/ afternoons can you just send me that in a message so I don’t waste time sending appointments you can’t do. Thank you everyone 🖤

Closed today (Tuesday) I have worked half days last two days to make up for it! Back open as normal on Wednesday. Will go through messages later today 🖤 Here is a little video of the new salon treat jar I painted at The Pottery 🥰

🐾🐾Customer notice🐾🐾 It’s that time of year again! Can people please make sure your dogs have got adequate up to date flea treatment. I have had dogs come in to the salon with fleas the last two days. As per my terms and conditions I have the right to refuse to groom any dog that comes in with fleas and you will still be charged for your appointment. If I take them in there will be a £10 add on charge to cover extra disinfection of the salon. This is what I got off a dog today that was so desperate for a groom I didn’t have the heart to turn it away.

I had the absolute pleasure of getting to groom Bramble on Thursday. She’s never been groomed before and can be quite nervous especially with loud noises and new people. I spent a good 40 minutes with her just chilling out on the floor letting her come to me and explore the shop. After about 25 minutes she came over to me for a fuss but I carried on letting her get comfortable to the point she came and snuggled up close and gave me a good old smooch. When I felt that she was happy I picked her up and popped her on the table. Spent another 5 minutes or so just stroking her and letting her get comfortable with being on the table. I then did all her trim work incase she didn’t like my dryer as we didn’t want to force her into anything, our aim is always to make sure the dog is comfortable and as long as I don’t need to force something due to severe matts or extremely long nails we don’t do it. Well she was an absolute star from start to finish. Her owners were extremely pleased with the results and are so glad they came to someone who is so patient and understanding. As most of you know for me the dog ALWAYS comes first. I have upset and lost clients in the past due to me taking them shorter than they would like because it’s the kindest thing for the dog or sending them home unfinished to come back at a later date because the dog had had enough and I wasn’t willing to cause them to become frustrated with the process. I am highly trained in dog behaviour as well as grooming so I can tell if a dog is just having a toddler tantrum or if they are generally terrified. Toddler tantrums get tough love (love not punishment). Terrified dogs get patience and understanding. I’m so lucky that the majority of my clients know that anything I do I do in the dogs best interest - grooming is something that needs to be done regularly and the more a dog enjoys it the better it is for everyone involved 💖
