Let’s talk about senior dogs and the different care they may need.
I’ve been grooming Poppy since I started nearly 7 years ago and over the years I have had to change the way I groom her so she stays comfortable and happy in my care.
When dogs get older their joints become more stiff, their hearing and eyes may become impaired so adjustments will need to be made when grooming them.
Little Poppy can’t lift her legs very well so we groom her in different ways so she is more comfortable. She is also loosing a little sight in her eyes so when I am scissoring I need to reassure her and let her know what I’m doing before I start to scissor so she doesn’t panic.
Poppy always leave happy and excited after her groom as she just loves to be short💜
In the video this is Poppy telling everyone how much she loves her groom🤣

💜Let’s talk about our dogs aging💜
I did a fabulous course on dogs becoming older and needing more support physically and mentally. It taught me that routine within the salon was very important and to make sure to talk to the dogs as well as hand signals.
This is to help them when they start becoming old and maybe getting dementia as this will help them be calm and relaxed. They will know this is how we have always done it and that command or hand signal means to turn or that I’m going to start drying them.
This is especially helpful with bigger dogs but the routine helps them all. By me doing things exactly the same from start to finish each time they visit, this helps them settle as they can predict what’s going to happen.
This is how we build that bond and trust💜
We do love our customers 💜
Thank you for the treats today it was so lovely to take 2 minutes to have refreshments 🐶
How adorable is little Marley🥰
He’s an older gentleman who likes a simple life and just wants to relax so when he’s in the salon I make sure that’s just what he does.
This is him sleeping while I dry his little head💜
Dolly was in for her teeth clean and a full groom but she has to give me a dance after!
I call her my dancing princess 👑
