⭐️ Customer Notice ⭐️
Firstly I would like to take this opportunity to thank all my clients for their continued support. I pride myself on providing a high quality service , which is personal and offers your pet the best possible care and attention whilst attending appointments at Precious Paws
As of January 2023 i will be having a price increase.
I have only had one price increase since starting but this last year has seen an enormous increase in basic energy and day to day running costs. This price increase will be carried out more on a individual basis and will be subjective to the regularity of visits , as well as coat condition and the time taken to prep your dogs coat. Any dog not attending on a regular 6 or 8 week appointment basis will have a higher increase, this is due to the additional coat growth and time taken to deal with that. (Or the regularity the breed of dog requires) I am seeing an increased number of dogs with matting and along with this also anxiety / temperament issues, which have continued to be an issue since lock down. Care and handling for these dogs takes a lot more time and at times increased risk to myself. Dealing with matted coats also adds additional time , and wear and tear on equipment.
Home care for your dogs coat is essential to avoid additional dematting fees. Light matting can be groomed out but heavier matting will require clipping down to prevent causing stress and discomfort and fees also apply for both of the above. If you are unsure of how to brush your dog or which brushes to use, please just ask as I am happy to give any advice, which I do always offer, but appreciate sometimes pet owners can still struggle. I am also happy to discuss style alternatives which will make home maintenance easier.
Again I thank everyone for their ongoing support and appreciate these are difficult times for everyone, but by keeping to a regular grooming schedule and also increasing home coat care, you will be able to keep to a minimal increase.
Please also PM me if you would like to block book for 2023, to secure appointment schedules.
Looking forward to seeing all the furr babies in 2023
