Thank you so much for all your messages of support this morning, you all really uplifted us & reminded us just how loved and supported we are, we are truly blessed to have such wonderful people (& animals! 🐾) in our lives.

It seems as though everyone is voting for deposits to be taken so we will be sorting that moving forward to safeguard our income so we can keep going!🥳

I've found some software that will take care of that aswell as online bookings & reminder texts etc which will make things go far smoother, so I don't miss anyone out! Gonna see how the trial goes and then hopefully can introduce it pretty quick! 🤞🤞

We gained a wonderful new customer today who helped us recoup our lost earnings & he was an absolute delight! 🐾🐾

What started off as a very stressful & upsetting day has turned into something far more positive and has given us the strength to keep on pushing forward!

We are very open about the struggles we have faced over the last few years, financially & otherwise, as we feel being open & honest with people is the right thing to do.

All the struggles we have faced together has made us stronger & brought us closer together though & that's when we realised working together doing something we love & being home for our animals is more important to us than anything else 🐾🐾

Due to the cost of living crisis some of our bills have quadrupled & every day is a battle to keep up especially when you're starting over again from almost scratch! But you've all reminded us we can do it, no matter how tough it seems! 💪💪💪

Thanks guys 💕🐾💕🐾 you all mean the world to us 🌏 ❤️💫

Hi all,

Angry post today unfortunately.

We are extremely busy at the moment which we are so grateful for but we've just had a cancellation this morning for a £100 job half an hour before the groom.

We of course understand that things come up that can't be helped but as I suspected last night that this person would cancel last minute with an excuse, I am not impressed. This isn't unusual in this industry as I've shared many times before (as have other groomers) when you leave us with no time to fill your slot we lose our entire wage.

Well the last minute cancellation this morning means we won't be able to pay our mortgage on the 28th. We WILL lose our home soon and therefore the business.

This year alone (2 months in) we have lost close to £1000 in last minute cancellations & no shows & it's not only demoralising it's devastating because we not only can't then pay our bills we also can't eat.

We live day to day, the wages we earn each day we have to use to top up the electricity meter & the gas metre & to get ourselves at least one meal for the day.

This isn't a woe is me post, life is hard for everyone right now, this is just me being honest and genuinely explaining just how badly a last minute cancellation or no show affects us. The worst part is is that we are inundated with messages of people needing to book in (I'm working my way through them all I promise!) Who have now missed out on these appointments!

All because someone couldn't be bothered to let us know in a reasonable timeframe that they wouldn't be coming.

We will try to hang on to our home & Megs Mutts for as long as we can but...right now it's not looking good for us, no matter how hard we try.

Unfortunately dog grooming is not a well respected job and people have argued with us that we don't deserve to earn what we charge for a 2-3hrs groom so I'd like to take the opportunity to explain that the fees we charge don't pay us even minimum wage each by the time you factor in how much it costs us to groom a dog. We do this job to *try* & pay the bills and to be able to do something we (for the most part) enjoy.

Thank you as always to our wonderful customers who always treat us with love & respect & appreciate all that we do for your beloved four- legged friends ❤️🐾🐾

It's such a shame that a minority have to spoil it for the many, we are trying our best but sometimes it just isn't enough.

I'll keep you posted, hopefully we won't be homeless soon, we will of course try our best to hang on to the last shreds of our lives we have left for our own sakes & for all you lot who do need us ❤️🐾🐾

Picture of someone gorgeous attached to make it all easier to digest 🤣 ❤️

PS anyone awaiting pictures I'll get them to you soon!! Thank you for your support ❤️

🦷🪥PET DENTALHEALTH MONTH🪥🦷

Did you know that the Emmi-pet ultrasonic toothbrush is a revolutionary teeth cleaning system using patented technology to deep clean your dogs teeth and gums?

With over 85% of pets having some form of dental health issues by the age of 3, preventative dental care has never been more important.

The Emmi-pet works differently to an ordinary pet toothbrush as the ultrasonic waves pe*****te 12mm beneath the gumline and uses microscopic nano bubbles to remove bacteria and impurities from the pets mouth.

Here are some of the benefits of Emmi-pet

🪥Improved breath
🦷Improved gum health
🪥Reduction of plaque
🦷Reduction of tartar
🪥Prevention of dental and gum disease
🦷Prevention of dental andgum deterioration
🪥Healthier Happier pet
🦷Reduces the likelihood veterinary dental ops

Please note that the Emmi-pet toothbrush does not replace veterinary dental treatments and is a preventative and progressive teeth cleaning system ehich will maintain your pets overall dental health. If you have any health concerns about your dogs teeth and gums seeking veterinary advice is always reccomended.

Hey guys,

We are having some technical issues with Facebook messenger (yet again🤦🏼‍♀️) so some messages aren't coming through to us. Hopefully there will be an update for the app soon.

What's app seems to be the most reliable way of contact so if you've messaged on Facebook or text & haven't heard back from us please do send us a message on what's app - 07877269642

We are not very responsive with telephone calls & voicemails at the moment as we are hands on grooming all day, voicemails can be quite patchy too as the signal in this area is quite poor. So what's app text is always preferable as it's much more reliable.

This gorgeous boy enjoyed his Honey & Coconut Mud pack on his visit ❤️ he was less impressed with the dryer that day though bless him 🤣, he's a big softie 💕

People shouldn't be forced into selling their homes for veterinary treatment for their animals! This is framed as a feel good story but to me it seems like taking advantage of someone who would do anything for someone they love, including selling the roof over their head. What happens when you've sold everything you own for this vet bill...and it happens again? Then what can you do?

Pet companionship shouldn't be something only the wealthy get to experience in this life. We have domesticated animals for thousands of years and they are such a huge part of our history which has resulted in our incredible bonds with them today.

For some the only companionship they have is from their animal, I know for me personally, growing up my animals were my safe space. Probably why my whole life is consumed by animals now hey 🤣❤️

You don't need to be wealthy to have a loving home, Veterinary treatment should be accessible for everyone's animals.

Apologies if you're waiting for a response, I'm still poorly, cannot shake whatever this is and I'm feeling absolutely rotten! Currently suffering with an ear infection (and my hearing loss is worse than ever), shortness of breath & ocular migranes which makes looking at my phone difficult. We have tested for COVID which was negative & I have been to the drs before for these symptoms with no answers, hopefully it will pass soon but unfortunately that's just a part of life with chronic illnesses! 😌

Lewis is currently in charge so please be respectful regardless of what you think of this industry & the people who do this work for a living 🙃

I am extremely grateful that Lewis gave up his life's work to assist me with this job, it's not something I can physically or mentally manage alone anymore. We are more than just 'dog washers' and deserve respect.

As always thank you to all our wonderful customers who do make it worthwhile ❤️🐾❤️🐾

We've got this groomies 🙌🤣
