Hope you all had a lovely Christmas. As of the 1st January 24 the prices of grooming will be going up by 10%. This is to cover the growing costs of products used. I haven’t raised the prices since Jan 22 so hope you all understand the need for this. Wishing you all a Happy New Year and thanks for your continued support, Emma x
I want to say thanks so much to each and everyone of you for your custom all year and a special thanks to those who brought gifts for Christmas, I was very spoilt 😊

🚨🚨 STILL MISSING 🚨🚨
Molly is still missing since 20/10/2023 from the Ballyclare area.
Despite a large scale appeal there still have been no concrete leads on this little lady’s disappearance.
Molly had found herself with a new loving home something that she never had the chance to experience before. We want to make sure that she has the opportunity to experience life as part of a loving family again.
Her owner has never given up on her and has been walking the streets into the early hours in the hope that she might get a glimpse of Molly. This is having a considerable emotional impact and her family deserve answers or closure. If you’re aware of Molly and you know where she is then please do the right thing and contact us anonymously.
Molly may also still be out there. Please go tonight and check under your oil tanks/hedging/trees/decking. There have been no confirmed sightings since 21/10 and she would have had to have found a food source by now.
Please share far and wide ❤️
This wee woman escaped last night in ballyclare and has been missing since, there were a few sightings last night but nothing today. Molly is very nervous and wary of strangers. Please keep an eye out for her and let’s get her home safe x
If anyone has anything spare and can drop to me before Friday I will be delivering this weekend!

Just want to update, dropped the donations up to mid Antrim yesterday, to say the donations were ungratefully received is an understatement, the girl actually rolled her eyes at me and said “well I suppose we wouldn’t want to see them going to waste”. We were in and out in 30 seconds, 4 of us with 2 trips each to the car, that’s how much there was. I emailed them when I got home and got speaking to the manager who said she will look into it and apologised. I’m gutted, but angry at myself, I should have just lifted it all back out and taken it to somewhere else that would have appreciated it more. They didn’t even ask me my name/ business name. Won’t be for Mid Antrim Animal Sanctuary next time. 😤
As you’re all aware I’ve been collecting for Mid Antrim Animal Sanctuary. What an amazing bunch of people you all are, I’m blown away with the amount of stuff you brought and hopefully there will be some happy dogs and cats this Christmas. The delivery will be made tomorrow afternoon so last shout out for anyone wanting to drop things off.
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and thank you so much for your custom, much love, Emma 🎄🤶🏻🐶🐾
This year I’ve decided to support Mid Antrim Animal Sanctuary’s Animals for Christmas. So please instead of tips, wine, biscuits, sweets etc I would be so appreciative if you could purchase something for either a dog or a cat, , I will deliver on Christmas Eve, and hopefully together we can make their Christmas a little better, many thanks, Emma x🐾

How lovely is this 🥰🐶🐾
Welcome to Castlerock’s Dog Stop page!! 🐶 ❤️ Grandad George absolutely adores the wee dogs that come past his window each day. So much so that he began leaving water out for them for coming off the beach. Soon there was a dog treat jar too 🦴 Since he became less mobile and spent more time in his window the dogs that stopped became such a pleasure for him to watch each day. Hence the birth of the all in one dog stop or station!!! Water, treats, tennis balls and poo bags are all provided for his 4 legged friends. All he would like in return is a wee wave 👋
Here is Poppy, a cairn terrier from Magherafelt enjoying a treat ❤️

The worst part of my job is getting the phone call that “ 🐶 “ has had to be put to sleep. We build a bond with with our furry customers over the years. He was a wee dote and his mummy loved him so much, run free Sparky ❤️ 🐾 🌈
What a lovely way to start the week, had this beautiful baby girl in this morning, only 12 weeks old❤️😍🐶🐾

There is ALOT of information going about whether we can groom or not...another groomer broke it down and allowed us to use her words....
This is Doggie Business position and will remain so until the government allows non essential businesses to open
The criteria we would have to meet are as follows:
- we pick up and drop off your dog following social distancing measures. You are not allowed to travel to us
- we fully disinfect our vehicle between dogs and can only take one dog at a time
- we fully disinfect our salon and equipment between dogs
- payment is made by bank transfer or by card only
-we would need at least 3 sets of PPE per dog, which rightly belongs with front line workers
-we would have to fully shower between dogs.
All of the above is all very well but it would mean that one groom of a Small dog would entail a total of approximately 6 hours.
If anybody is happy to pay £175 for the 6 hours work that the groom would take, and wear a hazmat suit for the handover then that’s great, otherwise it’s just not possible.
The advice has differed hugely between organisations from the start with the British Dog Groomers Association, British Veterinary Association, Pet Industry Federation, Department for Environment, Food and Affairs, The Kennel Club and the Animal and Plant Health Agency all having their own interpretation of the rules and giving different advice as to what we can and cannot do.
There are so many questions and posts every day on all grooming pages about if we should be open or not. I think anyone who doesn't care about the morality of the situation can definitely find loopholes and still work.
But realistically, I could have the virus and be asymptomatic. Even though I have washed and dried those dogs im the last to handle them before the owner takes them, they're not going to wash them again, and we all know now it can live on hair. We are dog groomers, we are not properly trained in infection control to the extent its needed in this situation. Doctors and nurses are and they still aren't getting it right 100% of the time. If I was to groom 6 dogs per day I could potentially infect 6 households a day. Averaging out at about 18 people a day, 106 people a week if there are 3 people per household. And thats not counting who they will potentially then go on to infect if they go out.
Skip to a week later, I get a phone call from one of our clients from the start of the week to say they are showing symptoms or have been tested positive, then another phone call from another client, and another... and I am the only common denominator in this whole situation. I have to contact all the clients and tell them. Even at a 2% death rate that means from that week at work two of our clients or their family members could die. Its like walking down a street blindfolded with a gun, shooting aimlessly but hoping not to kill anyone.
The one piece of advice that remains unchanged and has done throughout is...
Stay at home 💙 Protect the NHS 💙 Save lives
And so that is exactly what I will continue to do.
I hope that helps to explain our position 🐶🐶
