💥Super. Duper. Exciting. News 💥
As most of you know my body has taken a bit of a bashing lately and I’ve been given the amazing opportunity to take over the premises of @k9countryclubleicestershire Gaddesby as of November 1st.
The facility (and Hannah) already have a wonderful reputation in the area for its doggy day care and grooming which I am looking forward to continuing and expanding with.
I understand that I am moving out of the gorgeous little village of Barrow and it isn’t a decision that I have taken lightly however by moving to K9 Country Club I am now able to offer additional services and have the space for an assistant in the future which can only impact my health in a positive way.
At this point all existing customers should have been contacted (🤞) with regards to the move. I look forward to welcoming old and new clients at the new salon and if you have any questions or would like to discuss your appointments please get in touch.
Thanks as always for being so supportive (especially when I’ve been an emotional mess telling people) and continuing on this journey with me! 🩶

🤢 Flea Season 🤢
Just like last year they seem to be becoming more of a problem up and down the country causing issues for you, your dog…. And my salon 🙈
These little, biting, jumping insects not only cause discomfort and possible allergic reactions for your dogs but can also infest carpets, bedding, and furniture (hence why the salon is currently bed free... Sorry)
If you suspect your dog has a flea problem please contact me before bringing them for their appointment as I often have other dogs (including my own) in the salon.
If I find fleas during the groom I reserve the rite to rearange to my next available appointment and this will incur a flea charge of £20 which will cover the disinfecting of the salon and possible diary distruptions.
The video attached was from last year when I found lots of fleas on a dog that the owner was unaware of. The whole day of dogs then had to be canceled so I could clean, disinfect and flea spray/ bomb the salon. This was not only an inconvenience but a massive loss to my earnings and unfortunatly happened more than once last year. Please bare this in mind.
Below are some effective flea treatment methods to help you tackle this issue:
Prevention is key to avoiding flea infestations. Regularly groom your dog with flea combs, maintain a clean living environment, and make sure they are up to date with flea treatment.
It’s important to not only treat your dog but also your home and any vehicle they travel in. Vacuuming frequently and washing pet bedding in hot water (above 60) can help eliminate flea eggs and larvae. If you find fleas you may need to use a flea fogger or spray. The key is to disrupt the 10 day cycle so you may need to do this for a few weeks.
One of the most common and effective ways to treat fleas on pets is with oral and topical treatments. These are usually given by tablet or applied to the back of the neck between the shoulder blades. They work by killing adult fleas and disrupting the f
