Sparkle is one of our clients! She’s a lovely little doggie ❤️ can anyone offer this golden oldie a new home 🐾✨

SPARKLE HAS NOW BEEN REHOMED - THANK YOU so much for sharing the post and all the lovely kind messages. Your kindness and support have truly made a difference in finding Sparkle a loving home.

NOW REHOMED - NOW REHOMED - NOW REHOMED - NOW REHOMED

Sparkle’s owner who is in her 90’s and has Alzheimer’s can no longer look after her. All expenses i.e. food, vet bills, visits to groomers will be paid for the rest of the dog’s life.

She is a dear and much-loved 13 yr old little dog still in very good health who still enjoys trotting along on-lead for a short daily walk. Otherwise, she likes nothing better than to be curled up in her bed with her toys or following her owner around. She barks to let her owner know whenever she needs to go out or if it’s her mealtime.

At her age Sparkle would only suit a quiet household with one or two adults without children or other dogs. She is friendly towards human visitors including children but wouldn’t like other dogs coming into her home.

Please call: Jane Sutherland-Rogers for more information and a chat on 07808738888

PLEASE NOTE Sparkle is not here at Wangford Vets please call the number above.

Before & After 🖤

This little guy needed a little TLC and we think he loved his transformation.

He hadn’t had a groom for awhile therefore his coat was fairly compacted - we rough clip first to create shape and reduce drying time 👍🏻

My glamorous assistant Amy as always helped me to achieve this full groom by using :
professional Dirty Dog shampoo 🫧professional Original Cologne
Clippers / 7fc blade
- mixture of combs and brushes.

I also used a mixture of scissor - straights and blenders to create a natural technique groom on a pet trim 🐾

❗️FIXING BAD GROOMS❗️

Here is an example of “You get what you pay for “

This is no dig at another groomer or client .. This is a just a combination on experience, technique and skill .. I am definitely not saying I’m the best and I still feel I’m learning after all these years ☺️

The grooming world is a weird and wonderful one! Not many people realise what’s involved, but we all try our best!

I’ve explained to this client that we need to work on the coat to get it looking 100% .. I’ve worked with ALOT of clients fixing styles and coming up with maintenance programs. And trying to educate clients to achieve a great result 🐾

We have a new 6 week adolescent course starting on the 3rd of June, with Jess.
This course is aimed at addressing some of the challenges around adolescence. Maybe you feel that you’re losing your dog’s attention or that new unwanted behaviours are emerging, if so this is the course for you. Message to book a space or to arrange a chat/ visit .

What a pleasure to welcome this breed into our grooming studio today and what a gent he was.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE working with new and different breeds - we expect ALL breeds no matter what the size.

This is an Akita they have a short double coat that needs regular grooming.

Do you know what sort of Akita this is?

When I first started my grooming journey many … many years ago 😬 it felt very different to how it feels now.

The grooming industry has come so far in the past 10 years, the products and equipment that is available to us now is fantastic.

I personally am always looking for better techniques and knowledge to constantly improve and perfect my skills.

Working with dogs I still learn something new everyday 😊🧡🐾

🐶Puppy intro’s ……. These are still a vital part of the grooming process.

We have been really lucky lately to gain some new puppy’s coming along with their owners who have been taking on our advice and working with us to create a positive grooming experience.

🤎Regular grooming at home. (That means daily) just 5 minutes is enough …

🤎Using the correct brushes

🤎Booking in every 4 weeks for grooming appointments - this can just be for a bath or a good brush out. These small appointments help to build up the puppy’s confidence and create a trusting relationship with your groomer.

These regular appointments are just for the first few months then we can book in normal appointments every 6-8 weeks depending on the coat type.

We give lots of tips and advice to use at home and here in the studio.

Owners with puppy’s like Cockerpoo must understand that this coat type is going to need regular grooming , the owners will need to put in the hard work at the beginning of your puppy’s life so that your dog has a happy grooming experience for the many years ahead 🤎🐶
