How has it been 3 years since I moved into my very own salon?! A dream come true that wouldn’t have been possible without everyone who has supported me and all the lovely dogs I get to see and care for every day.

I just want to thank everyone again for your ongoing support.
Dog grooming can be a challenging job but extremely rewarding. I have met so many dogs and I wouldn’t change it for the world!
Thank you all ❤️

Hello everyone!

Happy International Dog Day everyone! 🫶🏻

Without dogs I wouldn’t have my favourite boy and I wouldn’t have a job that I love so much! 🐶🐾

Hello everyone!

I am now on holiday untill 12th May travelling around the north coast of Scotland ☀️
I will still be answering messages but please bear with me.

If you need to change any appointments do so asap so I can accommodate the best I can.

I know most of you book a few appointments in advance which is great as I do get booked up really quickly.

I hope everyone is enjoying the sunny weather and thank you for all your support and understanding! ❤️

Thank you
Laura 🐾

WHAT YOU DON'T SEE AT THE DOG GROOMERS.......
You dropped your dog off at the salon and picked them up few hours later - fluffy, fresh, and happy. But what you saw was just the tip of the iceberg.

You didn’t see your groomer arrive early to open up the salon, disinfect tools, lay out fresh towels, and check the day’s appointments. You didn’t see them look over your dog from nose to tail before even lifting a brush - checking the coat condition, skin, eyes, ears, nails, and weight.

You didn’t see the careful way they clipped around a wriggly paw, or how they paused to let your dog calm down during the bath. You didn’t notice the matting hidden beneath your dog’s topcoat, or the way the groomer worked slowly to avoid hurting the skin beneath it.

You weren’t there when they spotted a red patch of irritated skin, or a small lump you hadn’t noticed. You heard them gently mention it to you at collection - not to worry you, but because they genuinely care about your dog’s wellbeing.

And after you left, you didn’t see the clean-down , the floor swept, tables cleaned, blades oiled, messages replied to, notes written up for your next visit, and laundry on again.

All of that… for a price that’s often lower than what you’d pay for your own haircut. And your hairdresser?
They don’t have to bathe you, clip your nails, or hold you still while you try to bite the brush.

The truth is ……. dog grooming is so much more than a haircut.

It’s about health, hygiene, comfort, and trust. It’s about knowing dog anatomy, coat types, skin conditions, behaviour management, handling skills, and safe sc******ng techniques. It’s a profession that takes training, practice, and patience.
Most groomers got into this work because they love dogs. But that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be paid fairly for the physical, emotional, and skilled work they do every single day.

If your dog leaves their groomer happy, healthy and looking good - it’s not by luck. It’s because you have got a good groomer.
So next time, take a moment to thank them. Leave a review.

Tip them if you can. And above all - don’t undervalue them.
They’re doing far more than just washing the dog.
