And that’s a wrap !!!

Maternity leave is calling me now 😂 hardest 3 weeks physically and mentally of my life i don’t no how Iv survived!!! Christmas dog grooming rush and pregnancy do not mix well 😂. The last 9 Months have been a real challenge, Iv not had the easiest of rides but we are almost there now.

I just want to thank all my wonderful clients over the past few months who have been so understanding when grooms have overrun, Iv had to swap dates or times due to hospital/doctors appointments, and believe me there has been loads 😂. I also want to thank all of you for the absolute wonderful and beautiful gifts for Baby M, me and paul are completely overwhelmed and love them. He is one spoilt little boy already. You guys have honestly been so generous and thoughtful. We truly are grateful.

I’m so sorry to anyone I couldn’t get in to groom this year but believe me I have worked every hour I physically could to accommodate, i apologise to anyone I haven’t got back to because Iv been physically exhausted when I finish work.

I want to also thank my little worker army because without, my mum, sister, paul, dad and auntie marg I don’t no how I would of got anything done and would of gave up weeks ago. Honestly have the best support network around me and I’m so lucky!

Time now to get organised and rest for the next 2 and abit weeks, before our son’s arrival 💙( hopefully not sooner, please don’t make an early appearance your clothes are still in bags and not washed haha 😂🤞) we can’t wait to meet him and start the next chapter of our lives 💕 there are so many people looking forward to welcoming him. He is one lucky boy.

Signing off now to sleep for a week!!!!!! 😂

🎉🎉🎉 10 years of Rachels Dog Grooming 🎉🎉🎉

How is that even possible??? How have I been grooming your beautiful pooches for 10 whole years??? Without you wonderful people it never would of happened. 10 years ago I was working in a school in Warrington full time, working an evening job in the allies social club ( yes many of you have asked why you no my face 🤣, you may of been a little too drunk on a Saturday night to remember the shy barmaid who messed everyone’s orders up haha). Not to mention working in the dog section kennels and being a police special 🙈. Workaholic I no!!!

I worked 18 months killing myself trying to start building up a client base but it didn’t take long at all, and after 18 months I had pretty much a full client base I took the leap and left my crappy dead end paid job working in the school. From then my business grew and grew. Pretty much from the start I had to get in help and my sister became my weekend wing woman!!! Helping me bath and dry the pooches. My mum also assisting when Lou wasn’t available. I can’t thank them enough, not to mention my dad being on call constantly being the maintenance man.

You guys have made my business what it is today. Without you I would never of been as successful as I am. I fell into dog grooming by complete accident, it was never supposed to be a career, it was a bit of pocket money and I wanted to work with the police dogs as a career. The demand for dogs being groomed grew and grew and the weekend hobby became a full time hobby, I still don’t feel like I’m working most days I just love what I do. I jump out of bed and start my monster of a commute to work ( all 3 meters from the back door 🤣). Last year we also expanded and set up dog walking which my husband paul has ran successfully in the last 18 months and I couldn’t be prouder.

Running a dog grooming business has its ups and downs ( mainly ups because I get to interact with dogs all day) as much as I love it, the downside is seeing my much loved pooches growing old, slowing down and developing health issues. It’s so hard getting that text message thanking you for looking after there fur-babies over the years. I love the fact I had a bond with them and they trusted me throughout there lives, not to mention owners, I will never forget them.

I have built so many relationships with my customers, my customers are so lovely I really am so lucky, they can talk to me freely to me, rant and rave even cry and I have done the same 🤣. You guys are amazing!!! However once again the downside of building up these relationships is when owners get sick or pass away. These people are also in my heart and miss talking to them every few weeks.

I just want to say a massive thank you to all of you for supporting me over the years. I am extremely grateful for your support, loyalty, generosity and genuine care for myself and business. This business wouldn’t of ever been possible or successful without you all 💞 thank you for putting your trust in me 💞

I also want to thank my husband and mum, sister and dad for all the support over the years, working with me, helping me out when I’m running behind, cleaning up after me, supporting me financially when I was setting up, feeding me, listening to me moan or getting stressed out, basically being the back bone of the business. I couldn’t of hit 10 years without you all.

Let’s see what the future holds for Rachels Dog Grooming, role on the next 10 years 💞 I can’t wait to welcome your pooches in to my grooming pod and look forward to meeting all my future customers!!!

I really do have the best job !!!!!

Here is a beautiful photo of the very first dog I groomed, her name was jess and she was a wonderful girl. She was so calm when I was clueless attempting to be a dog groomer. She was prob thinking what is this idiot doing to me, she hasn’t a clue what she is doing 🤣. Unfortunately little Jess recently passed away at the wonderful age of 15, but I thought it was amazing that her mum and dad put so much trust in me and stuck with me for the rest of her life. Unfortunately we have lost so many of my golden oldies over the past 6 month. I loved them all like they was my own and I will never forget them 💞

Thank you from the bottom of my heart you guys are amazing ❤️

( sorry the grammar is awful but my little dyslexic brain doesn’t work great 🤣🤣🤣)

🌟🌟 Price increase 🌟🌟

I have now been in business for 10 years this month. I have only ever had one price increase in this time, I have decided to have a long-awaited price increase on my services, over the last few years I have been working hard behind the scenes to better my business, which it has grew and grew over this time. I have officially re-qualified as a groomer 18 months ago as I didn’t feel my qualification was good enough to groom your beautiful pooches so went off to better myself. I also only use the best natural products and constantly furthering my knowledge for the benefit of your canine companions. Also note that the price of running my business has sky rocketed in the past 2 years and I’m now in a position were I can no longer continue charging what I have been charging.

As of 2022, full grooms (which are carried out on a 6 - 8 weekly schedule,) will be increased by £5. For example, dogs that were charged at £30 for a full groom will now start at £35. Please note, when I say starts at I mean going over the recommended grooming schedule of 6-8 weeks would result in a complete restyle or if matted a de-matting charge also being added as this can be very time consuming and have a detrimental effect on equipment which then requires replacing or sharpening.

Again, missing appointments ( last min cancellation or no show) will also result in a 50% fee to be paid prior to me booking your dog back in. I will be setting up my savvy pet again so you will start recieveing text reminders again.

Please can everyone start paying cash from now on as I’m NOT chasing money this year and will be closing the account which people pay into.

I thank you all sincerely for the continued support and I look forward to the this year ahead, making your pooches look and feel their best🐩. I have a few things in the pipeline to grow my business and hopefully you will all be seeing some new faces around to help me with my HUGE client base!

Please understand this is my business and I want it to run as smoothly as possible with less stress from this day forwards.
I will speak to everyone individually as and when you book in no need to comment on this post

Thank you in advance

Can not thank my wonderful clients enough for all my lovly card, gifts and tips. It’s safe to say I’m not going to be needing to buy any chocolates and wine for a while 🥰 .

This year has been the toughest year of my life and I can’t thank you all enough for understanding what we have been though and putting up with me messing appointments up, cancelling, moving people around, crying on them 🤣 an cocking up grooms.

I appreciate each and every one of you and absolutely adore your pooches and our chats outside the pod. This year has not only been tough for me but also has been for alot of my customers. I have lost so many of my long term pooches this year who have been with me from the start. I will be thinking of everyone over the Christmas period and thinking of everyone we have lost over the last 12 months ( humans and dogs)

Next year will be my 10 year anniversary I can’t believe I have been grooming this long, my job really is a pleasure ( most of the time 🤣🤣🤣💩)

Let’s hope next year is a better one than this.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and I wish you all the best for 2022.

I’m Signing off now from work and I’ll be back working on the 8th January 🥰 ######x
