A few of our recent reviews!

Our fancy new system sends out a groom feedback request 1 - being not at allllll happy and 5 being super happy. This new feature has caused a little confusion 🤣

Leaving a review costs nothing but it sure does put a smile on the everyone's face

1. Sending dogs home wet

‘You’re a dog groomer they’re supposed to be dry’

Well…not really if they’re showing me that they don’t like it, a damp head/legs never killed anyone but pushing a dog too far is going to impact their next groom and the one after that!

2. I meet your dog before I get them into be groomed

‘I JUST NEED MY DOG GROOMING’

I only work with clients who are aligned to working with me, who care about their dog and the team behind the salon and where their dog is groomed. Some days I need extra childcare but I’m not just gonna drop them at soft play and leave them there (I don’t think so anyway)

3. I send out a tonne of emails direct to my clients

*UNSUBSCRIBE*

But the day that social media goes down, I know I can still reach my clients, 99% love the updates and salon news, availability and sneak peek upgrades! The unsubscribes aren’t they clients that need me in their life. My business doesn’t rely solely on likes, reels and SM.

4. My prices are set for my salon

‘Well I was paying £25 with my last groomer’

Stick with that groomer then. I’m lucky enough to have grown my business beyond what I ever imagined. Rent, wages and VAT are my biggest costs for providing the amazing service that we do.

5. I only have a certain amount of appointments each day

‘He’s only a small St Bernard I really need him doing today’

A happy and healthy team is really important to me, I have limits on how many bigs dogs, hand strips and spicy dogs we can do at anyone time. The salon harmony is a delicate balance of personalities (staff and dogs hahaha) I’m not going to overbook and squeeze schedules - please make sure you’re booking in advance

Beware if you’re taking your pooches to the country park

Something to be aware of here if you walk your dog in Melton Country Park. Environmental works are being carried out on the lakes and owners are being urged to keep their dogs out of the water for the next few weeks.
Details in our story in the comments section.

If love could have saved him, he'd have lived forever.

October is adopt a shelter dog month and although he isn't with me anymore he's never far from my thoughts.

Paddy, Patrick, The Padster, Padman

He was the first dog I ever rescued, I think he was probably one of the first dogs through the doors of Loughborough when they opened. I'd seen him online but wasn't sure he was right.

I was bought a Patterdale for my 7th birthday and she was vicious, I chose her because she bit my finger and I couldn't get her off haha, they aren't for the feint hearted and I wasn't sure I wanted that level of mental in my life again.

Low and behold I walked along and Paddy was in a kennel with a little Jack Russel called Lady, when I bent down to look at him he came over and put his paw in the glass so I asked to get him out. He walked over to me and put his head in my lap and that was it. Love at first sight. I took him home after all the checks has been done, he wee'd up the wall then slept for what felt like days!

He was the reason that I left my job to start grooming, I wanted to handstrip him and make him look fabulous (red dickie bow pic) and set up my own business and spend all of my time with him. Some of you can probably remember him, he was a rascal but he was just wonderful. Sadly I only had 10 years with him and he got dementia and was a really poorly boy.

My goodness he taught me so much and started my love affair with rescues and continued my love for spicy terriers.

I know a lot of you loved him and I know the Mars gang have lots of memories of this special boy - drop them below!

I’m a huge advocate of transparency and honesty when it comes to grooming your dog.

In fact it forms part of our B.A.R.K commitment to our clients.

You dog will never be told ‘oh they were amazing’ if there was something that they weren’t happy with, nervous of, worried by or adverse to.

I’m not here to sugar coat sh*t for you. I’m here to help you and your dog with the love it’s intended! We’ll always be open and honest - it’s the best way to make progress!

Progress not perfection
