S t o r m E o w y n...🔴

Due to the red weather warning currently in place, we have made the decision in line with government guidelines to close the shop. All appointments for today have been cancelled and we will reorganise these as soon as we can.

Please stay safe!

🔻Do not walk your dogs

🔻Do not let dogs out in to gardens unattended

🔻Be vigilant of garden gates being open that are normally closed and damage to fencing which could render your garden no longer secure

🔻Make sure your dog is wearing ID on collars/harnesses - if for any reason they got out this is the easiest way to reunite them to you

🔻Take them to the toilet on a secure collar/harness/ and lead - even in your garden

Take care everyone

🦮How to help your dog adjust to winter walks.🦮

🐾Scottish winters can be unpredictable and it can benefit our dogs to change how we walk them in winter. Here are some hints and tips. Any other helpful suggestions are welcome in the comments.🐾

1. Dress your dog appropriately: In colder weather, it's important to keep your dog warm and protected. Consider getting them a winter coat to provide an extra layer of insulation (some breeds need this more than others depending on thickness of their own furry coat). Additionally, paw wax can help protect their paws from ice, salt, and other harsh elements.

2. Adjust the length and intensity of walks: During winter, it's essential to be mindful of your dog's tolerance for cold weather. Shorten the duration of walks and adjust the intensity based on your dog's breed, age, and overall health. Some dogs may require more frequent breaks or shorter walks in colder temperatures.

3. Choose safe walking routes: Be cautious of icy or slippery surfaces that can pose a risk to your dog's safety. Opt for well-maintained paths or pavements, and avoid areas with excessive ice or snow buildup.

4. Stay visible: Winter days are shorter and darker, so it's crucial to make sure you and your dog are visible to others. Consider using reflective gear or attaching a reflective collar or leash to your dog.

5. Maintain proper hydration: Although it may be colder outside, your dog still needs access to fresh water. Dehydration can occur even in cold weather, so make sure your dog stays hydrated before, during, and after walks.

🤓Remember, it's always a good idea to consult with your veterinarian or animal physiotherapist for specific advice tailored to your dog's individual needs and health conditions.🤓

Just a little heads up for everyone traveling for appointments this week, there is road resurfacing work taking place on the Main Street.

Please allow yourselves extra time to arrive and collect as parking will be limited compared to normal, as you won't be able to park on the Main Street.

Thanks! K x

S i g n s O f P a i n...‼️

I have many conversations with clients regarding changes in their dogs relating to their health.

As groomers, normally working with each dog on a regular basis throughout their lives, we often notice changes that owners don't always pick up on, or see a different side to a dog due to what we do being very hands on.

When I feedback to clients regarding signs of discomfort in their dogs, often they are surprised by these signs. Our dogs are very stoic! Please don't think just because your dog is not lame, not crying out, or refusing to eat, that there isn't anything wrong with them.

Remember, groomers don't make commission from your vet trips, we only advise these things because we care greatly about your dogs!

For all clients travelling from the Bonnyrigg/Newtongrange direction (Shell Garage) ... Please ignore 'ROAD AHEAD CLOSED' signs. The road closure is actually beyond Main Street so does not affect traveling to the shop through the main road of Gorebridge.
