The Hip Hound

29/09/2023

Today we have closed The Hip Hound doors for the final time… 💔

We feel very proud of what our little business has become, especially since we were crazy enough to open during the midst of the pandemic 😅 But none of this would’ve been possible without our lovely customers and we would like to thank you all again for your support and loyalty over the last 3 years. We will miss you all dearly 🥰🐾

Once again, we will continue to groom in separate locations for those of you that still wish to continue using our services 🫧✂️🛁
Zoë will be grooming from her home salon in Shotesham and can be reached on 07920 816331
Dovilė will be working in Norwich and can be contacted on 07398 897461 or Ivy’s Dog Grooming

Thank you 💕💕💕

Today was our lovely Emily’s last day at The Hip Hound before she starts her shiny new job next week 💕
We couldn’t have asked for a better 3rd member of our team 🥰 We’re sure that anyone that has met Emily would agree that her love for all the dogs (and Guinea pigs) and passion for her job is undeniable and we will miss her very very much 💜🥹

Hi everyone,

As some of you may have heard/read already, it is with a heavy heart that we have to announce the closure of The Hip Hound at the end of September 💔

We apologise that some of you didn’t find out directly from us, we were trying to work some things out before making the big announcement…

It has been our absolute pleasure meeting you all and looking after your best friends for the last 3 years. Your loyalty and trust means the world 🌎

Zoë is planning on doing some grooming from home, so for anyone that would be interested, please contact her on 07920 816331.

All appointments booked in until the end of September will not be affected and we still have some spaces remaining 😊

Look forward to seeing you all in the next couple of months 🥰

We stock tiddlers and lots of other Green & Wilds goodies 😀👍🏼🦴🐟

100% Natural Small Fish 🐟 for Dogs and Cats!

These little tiddlers are air dried to hold in all that fishy goodness. They're packed with proteins, oils and vitamins to build and maintain health and to keep teeth strong.

Stimulates growth of bone structure and helps provide a beautiful shiny coat as they are rich in omega-3 and 6. Heart and blood vessels also benefit from the polyunsaturated fatty acids.

And here are just a few more reasons your dog or cat (& you!) will love them:
🐟 Low in saturated fats - the bad fats :(
🐟 High in polyunsaturated fats - the good fats :)
🐟 Super high in omega-3
🐟 Great for teeth – helps remove tartar
🐟 Hypoallergenic and gluten free
🐟 Easy on their digestion
🐟 Improves skin and coat condition
🐟 Eye and brain development
🐟 Helps increase intelligence and training ability

All our fish are ethically and sustainably sourced too!

More information can be found on our website where you can grab a bag for your pet too!

⭐️ CUSTOMER POLICY⭐️

LATE CANCELLATIONS & NO SHOWS - to cancel/reschedule your appointment, 48 hours’ notice is required, or a 50% payment cancellation fee will be requested. No shows or cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice, will be charged 100% of the full groom price and another appointment cannot be booked until the payment has been made.
ARRIVING ON TIME - we ask you to arrive as close to your scheduled appointment time as possible as arriving too early can mean that we’re still busy grooming other dogs and arriving 15 minutes late or more may result in your appointment having to be cancelled and full groom charged.
MATTED DOGS - under the Animal Welfare Act 2006, it is an offence to cause unnecessary suffering to an animal. This includes prolonged de-matting which is painful and causes unnecessary pain to the dog. If the dog requires more than 20 minutes of de-matting work or is showing any signs of destress, we are required by the Act to clip the coat short. We will always put your dog’s welfare first.
Please note that a matting/clip off fee will be charged on top of the full groom price to cover the extra time taken and to help cover some of the cost of getting our equipment re-sharpened as clipping a matted coat, causes the blades to go blunt.
FLEAS - please do not bring your dog into the salon if you know they have fleas. Any dogs with noticeable fleas coming into the salon will be sent away and a fee will be charged. If we notice any presence of fleas during the groom, flea shampoo will be used and an additional fee of £10 will be charged.
AGRESSION - please understand that if your dog shows any signs of aggression, we have the right to terminate the groom and a full groom fee may be charged. We always ask for your utmost honesty about your dog’s temperament and any issues that you’re aware of so we can keep your dog and ourselves safe.
