⚠️Immediate closer ⚠️ please read⚠️

As most of you know I've been in and out of the hospital with my wee one since the start of the year and we've finally found an answer . Not a good one I may add !
We will be in the hospital for the best part of 9 months as he gets chemo so I have no choice but to close my doors for the time being.
I think i have messaged all my regulars but if I have missed you , I appologise , my head is elsewhere just now .
I would have liked to have found you all different groomers but i just haven't had time , so Appologies.
Thank you so much to everyone for your understanding the past few months and thank you for all the lovely messages ❤️
I will be back when we are out the other side but for now , send me all your strength to pass on and hug your little ones a little tighter tonight ❤️

⬇️Lets talk matts !⬇️
Here's one to read whilst your eating your cereal 😆

I know i harp on about brushing your dog , but let me explain why it's essential 🙃

🐶 The tiniest knots can turn into the biggest mat😅
When the hair is matted , it pulls tighter and tighter on the skin which can cause brusing to the skin and can even rip the skin 😔

🐶Matting also can stop the blood circulation to the affected area , which cause a whole lot of other problems. Haematoma's being one of them .

🐶 This is obviously uncomfortable for the dog and can be very painful.

🐶 Once the hair has been matted , it's damaged. Even if it's brushed out , it's easily knotted again after being damaged .

🐶 Matting can hide so many things underneath such as skin conditions and injuries .

🐶 As groomers , we a legally required to prevent injury or suffering to the dog on the grooming table. Brushing out a coat full of matts is very uncomfortable/painful and will cause the dog excessive stress .
Any responsible groomer will clip the coat .

🐶 We do not clip dogs short for fun . It is always in the dogs best intrest . It is not the groomers job to keep the dog knot free between appointments 👀
So before you bash your groomer for clipping off the coat , just have a think how much you actually throughly brushed them 🤔

🐶 If you can't maintain the coat between appointments, maybe rethink the length of time or the length of coat to make it more manageable .

The majority of my clients are super at brushing and getting scheduled in for regular appointments, you wee super stars you 😘

A work in progress .
This little lady came to me a few months ago and I'm not gona lie , i wasn't confident i would ever be able to complete a full groom on her . She was how i like to describe as "spicy" 😂 and her coat was in a bit of mess , not through lack of trying from her owner i may add. She is a typical shih tzu . Stuborn and dislikes too much handling.
But with a bit of patience and shorter appointments, we've managed to get to place of mutual understanding 😆 . From not being able to handle her without a rumble or a snap to her resting her head on my hands whilst she gets her blowdry feels like a big win !
She trots in quite the thing , and although she still keeps me on my toes , she's turned out to be a lovely regular who just needed a little time and understanding, and let's face it , what's life without a little spice 💁🏽‍♀️😆

Hand strip for this handsome fella 🥰
A very satisfying process 🤩

I've been a tad quiet on the socials since the new year , the human pup has had all my spare minutes and attention ,but i promise to upload more 🤗
Thankyou to those of you I've had to change or postpone appointments 🥰

I've had a run of new puppys in the last month or 2 and I'm loving all the puppy love 😍 (even if they are the riggliest of clients 😂) . It's great to see all the new owners sticking to a reccomended schedule and keeping up the brushing between appointments! A+!

March is fully booked already and with a run of new clients , can i remind all my regulars to get their next appointments booked in advance , i really hate to disappoint and don't like the backlash i can sometimes get when i can't fit someone in for a couple weeks 😅

❤️Thank you as always for keeping me so busy ❤️

⚠️Clients in tomorrow ⚠️

I'm currently up at the bgh and spending the night 🙃 so unfortunately wont be in tomorrow.

* EDIT* I'm totally fine , the wee ones just in for some monitoring ❤️

I can't get hold of certain clients as i don't have my diary with contact details in 🙈 so Appologies if you are booked in and i haven't contacted you personally!

I will re arrange all of your appointments asap 🐶

Thank you so much for understanding ❤️

2023 over and out !

Late to the party with the end of work post , but i was out on the works do yesterday for a well earned drink and a little worse for wear today 😅
What a year its been and so many wonderful paws have passed through my door 🥰
Dogs are my passion and i feel the luckiest girl to be able to work with them every day (even the wild one! 😆)
My work is my sanctuary and i love every second I'm there 😍
So thank you to each and every one of you for trusting me with your dogs 🥰 .
I'm looking forward to seeing what 2024 has instore for me and looking forward to seeing some new faces 🐶
I'm off until sat 6th of jan but I'll be answering any messages and taking appointments until then .
Have the best christmas everyone . Laugh ,eat and drink too much ! ❣️

⬇️ 2024 ⬇️
I have no more appointments left for December and i think i have been in contact with those of you who wanted to book into january, if not , give me a nudge and I'll get you booked in ! 😁
My diary for January ,February and march is open so you can get booking 😁
Going forward into 2024 , i will only be taking clients who are booked in at least 2 appointments ahead with a maximum of 6 weeks between grooms (some breeds can go longer but must be agreed with before booking back in )
I will also be enforcing the matting fee more . My blades (and my time ) have taken a battering this past few months but hopefully having you on a regular schedule means this wont have to be done 🙃
😬Pricing 😬
As I've explained to a few of you , the lovely electric company have decided to double the bills 😡 so i am slowly trying to catch up on pricing . Just like all the other buisinesses, i am trying to keep my price increases to a minimum but there may be a small increase in your appointments going into 2024 .
Lastly, can i remind everyone not to pick up until your allocated time or until you heard from me 😆
Once your dogo see's you , there's no going back 🙈 and i may have to stop the groom incomplete 😲
As always , thank you so much for keeping me so busy 🥰🥰🥰

A couple of wriggly puppies starting their grooming journey 🥰 i think i had about 3000 kisses from them , and then topped it off with a smoochy retreiver 😆
Please read ⬇️
I seem to have had an influx of newbie clients recently and my availability is getting less and less . I can only operate first come first serve for appointments so booking the next 2 or 3 appointments avoids disappointment (and mats!)
I have a handful of appointments left for december so get those booked in too 😅
As always , thankyou for keeping me so busy and for the reccomendations ! Probably 80% of the paws walking through my door have come from reccomendations so i am ever grateful to you all 🥰

After ↔️ before 😆

A little spruce for this gorgeous girlie 🥰

Just a reminder my December diary is open , so book now to avoid disappointment as i won't be "squeezing" anyone in the week before 🎅 😅

2nd time in for this absolute stunner 🤩
First appointment he had a hand strip and tidy up , then another super tidy up today !

His owner wanted alot of the bulk taken off but keeping the furnishings ✂️ so we decided to clip out his belly and inside of his legs to keep the fuller look but easier to keep !

He is the very well behaved especially for a young one and is a supstar on the table! 🥰

Bed head monday 😆🥰

16/09/2023

Has anyone picked up at set of keys around my road end or between here or signiture hairdressers ? Give me a shout please one of my customers has lost them and can't get home ! ❤️

14/09/2023

Just a reminder 👀

Matted coats will incur a £10 charge and extra for any more time needed to complete the groom . Matted coats not only blunt my blades , but take longer to work with .
I really don't enjoy clipping off matted coats 🫣

I will also only be accepting dogs that are on a reccomended grooming schedule decided by myself. 🫡

Absolute beaut of a girl in and so well behaved 👌
Parenting done right ....this little lady was in from a tiny pup and regularly groomed 🦄
If you want them floofy , get them started as soon as they've had their jabs and stick to a regular schedule ❤️
