Thank you to all those leaving me such wonderful reviews, I'm so very grateful and your words are just so lovely 🥰

If you click on the review section above you can read them in full & leave one of your own if you wish.

I truly love to groom and I do adore each & every dog that comes to me.
We work so hard to ensure your dogs are not only squeaky clean & have a lovely haircut but also have a very gentle & positive experience here. We want every dog to feel safe, understood & loved and I'm very proud of our commitment to their wellbeing.
We always want to build trust with both the dogs & their owners and help every dog grow in confidence when being handled & groomed.
Believe you me thats not always easy!

Some dogs are certainly far more "challenging" to help than others and if I'm honest I have had some very challenging owners over the years too!
I have had a few hard lessons over the years dealing with owners and have learnt that I can't always please all of them and thats actualy ok!

After my training i opened my little salon over 10 years now and the vast majority of my clients over those years have been so wonderful and I'm so grateful!
I always enjoy chatting with clients and I'm so blessed that some have turned into dear friends of mine! 🥰

The only downside to being a groomer is when my doggy clients sadly pass away 💔
It's always heartbreaking but especially so if I have have known them for many years.

The relationships that I build with each dog truly are very precious to me and I really enjoy being in my salon with all of them, even those extra naughty ones, you know who you are!! 🤣

Reading the lovely reviews being left is a joy, thank you all so very much! ⭐️

Sweet & handsome boy Jasper 💙

Jasper is a star in my salon and I do really enjoy grooming him!
I have been grooming him over 6 years now so we know each other very well and he is a very happy, confident boy in my salon! 🥰

Mind he wasnt always so relaxed though, he was just 18 months old when I first had him in and he was a pretty anxious, scared boy, whining a little and snapping at me when I was clipping his nails. But he soon realised he was safe with me and I have loved seeing him grow in confidence!
I think he mostly comes for all the tasty treats Aunty Ruthie has in her salon!! 😊

Well done Mr J, always a pleasure to groom you little love ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

COULD YOU TAKE A MONUTE TO LEAVE ME A REVIEW? ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Good morning everyone, i have decided to turn on my review section here on my small business page and I'd very much appreciate it if my clients would take a couple of minutes and leave me a review 🥰

We work so hard to ensure each & every dog gets a gentle, positive groom and our aim here is to always put each dogs needs first.
We particulary love taking on the more anxious or challenging dogs, often dogs other groomers dont want to groom, and seeing them blossom into confident, happy souls, no longer scared of the grooming process! 🐶

Thanks for reading, much appreciated!

Beautiful sisters Goldie & Sandie 💞

These Cockapoo girls are just adorable! They are both so sweet and do so well having their grooms too.
Miss Goldie started coming to us at just 5 months old back in 2021 and Sandie started coming last year when she was a young puppy too! 🥰

I find it interesting how different all the Cockapoo's can be, some are quite dinky like little Sandie, others bigger like Goldie and their coat types & textures vary enormously too. I used to groom a Cockapoo that was like a tiny Cocker Spaniel!
Some Cockapoo's have wiry textured coats more like Poodles and they often brush out very easily even if quite knotted up, some have thinner, wavy coats and others really thick, very tightly curled coats that take quite a lot of extra time to wash & thoroughly blow dry.
Cockapoo coats are quite difficult to work on and most of my Cockapoo clients take between 2-2 & half hours to groom whereas lots of other similar sized breeds take 1 & half hours on average and because they take longer to groom it costs more to get them groomed.
I try to keep my prices affordable and charge between £45-55 for my Cockapoo clients.

Today only little Miss Sandie needed a full groom and Goldie came in with her just for a trim around her eyes so whilst Jack finished drying Sandie I gave older sister Goldie a good brush out, a quick hygiene & paw pad trim and I clipped her nails too before trimming around her eyes.

These girls are very active, keeping busy out & about with their families. Miss Sandie's coat is quite fine & fluffy and knots up very easily despite being brushed regularly at home so she had a short, smooth clip & trim today with a fluffier head and she is now much easier to just wipe clean after wet, muddy walks especialy so if she has been in water which she loves!

Well done sweet girls, always so good for Aunty Ruthie! ⭐️⭐️

EMMI-PET ULTRASONIC TEETH BRUSHING
Milo 🪥🪥

Handsome Milo had his 1st teeth brushing session last week and I was able to clean up his upper & lower canines and some smaller front ones really well 😁

Today after going over all his teeth again with the Emmi-pet, which has the patented ultrasonic chip in each toothbrush head, I started working on his larger back teeth. They have quite thick tartar build up but none are loose and although they aren't tartar free yet, I was pleased with how much came off today!

Most Emmi-pet sessions take around 30 minutes but how long it takes & how much I can do in each session is very much dependant on a dogs behaviour.
I have been grooming Milo for quite some time now and he is always excited to see us and he is pretty relaxed now when having a groom but he is still a little wary of having me messing about in his mouth so we take things extra slowly!

The Emmi-pet brush doesn't vibrate, it's completely silent and it doesn't hurt at all. Some dogs settle very quickly having it done, others can be a little wary but learn to tolerate it whereas some can get quite snappy & aggressive.
The snappy ones I don't do as i need my hands to groom and a big bite could put me out of action for a while or even permanently. It's just too risky.

Milo did well today, he enjoyed getting some tasty treats & cuddles and I'm sure he will soon be more relaxed when he has his teeth brushed! ⭐️
He is coming in for once a week sessions at the moment until all the tartar is removed from his teeth then it's up to his owners whether he come in for a monthly session or he has a maintenance clean during his regular grooming appointments.

Miss Poppy clearly very stressed during her groom, poor love but as her Spaniel coat continuously keeps growing she needs regular grooming to keep it matt free and clean.

I really wish she was happier but as soon as her groom is finished Tilly hops off the table, enjoys some tasty treats and then has a snooze whilst I give Ivy her haircut!
She loves having some cuddles with me so I'm pleased about that 🥰

Beautiful Spaniel girls Ivy & Tilly 💞

Chocolate colored Miss Tilly always finds grooming very stressfull, as you will see in a video I post after this one, despite coming to me for nearly 5 years now. We always do everything we can to give her a gentle & calm experience but her anxiety is just huge, poor love 😞 sometimes it just is what it is. She hasn't got a nasty bone in her body though and we do adore her! 🥰

Today was only Miss Ivy's third groom with us and I'm really thrilled with her progress! Working breeds of dogs are often more sensitive especialy to noise i find, than other dogs and Ivy does have some anxiety in the salon. But she was far more relaxed today and happily took trears during her groom, and each time I praised her she had a lovely waggy tail for me! 🥰

Both girls had a bath & blow dry first. Then Miss Tilly has an all over short, smooth clip including her ears but with a nicely 'flagged' tail and just a light trim on her very cute top knot!
Miss Ivy had all the excess coat on her legs, chest & belly taken very short and blended neatly with her jacket, then I just trimmed her ears a little shorter but left them nice & full and gave her a short flagged tail.
I think they are both so pretty! ⭐️⭐️

Pretty Poppy 🩷

Little Miss Poppy is a really good girl and although I'm sure she would rather be hanging out with her Dad than having a groom, she doesn't worry about any part of it and is just super for us in the salon!! 🥰

After her bath & blow dry with Jack I give her a neat clip & trim and she always looks very smart!

Bit of side eye at me for photo's today, she knew her Dad was waiting and wanted me to hurry up! ⭐️

My sweet little friends, Pepe & Mogwai 💙

These adorable brothers are the sweetest, bestest boys and we love them to bits! 🥰

They are super being groomed, they don't need straps on and aren't worried about any part of their pampering!
They come in every 4 weeks for a groom abd also have their teeth brushed too with my excellent Emmi-pet ultrasonic teeth brushing system 🪥🪥

Well done little loves! ⭐️⭐️

If you need to contact me please could you
TEXT OR CALL ME ONLY 📞
07707 676254

I'm unable to access fb messages via my grooming page and phone voice messages are often unclear, distorted or just too fast that I struggle to get your number to contact you back.

I had a very irate text message this morning off someone looking to get their dog groomed and very angry that I hadn't responded to their FB message.

I promise you, I am not ignoring you if you send an fb message, i just cant access them!
I have tried to remove the message option from my business page but I can't find a way to do it?

I will usualy answer text messages promptly. If you need to to speak to me about your dog but I can't answer, likely I'm grooming or driving, just send a quick text and ask me to call you asap.
And you can WhatsApp me to if needed, which is great if you want to send a photo of your dog.

Thanks for understanding, I appreciate it

EMMI-PET ULTRASONIC TEETH BRUSHING
Ted 🪥

Ted is a little sweetheart and he does very well having his teeth cleaned! 🥰

Ted has had many sessions now and today was a maintenance one. There was a little plaque & tartar build up on his teeth but it was soon softened by the Emmi-pet's patented ultrasonic action and his teeth were bright & white once again! 😁

Well done Ted! 🪥⭐️
