Dear customers,

The past couple weeks I've had quite a few no shows and late arrivals. This is a reminder please be on time for your appointment. If you can't make your appointment, please try and give me atleast 48hrs notice. I will not take in dogs after 10 minutes as this puts me behind. As many of you are aware, I'm very busy and booked up months in advance. If you do not show up or are late for your appointment, I will not be able to fit you back in.
December is now full. I've got some appointments in October and November. Please book in advance if you want appointments as they go very fast.
Thank you for your continued custom and support.

From Monday 29th January 2024, our prices will be going up by £3 per dog. This is due to the rising cost of equipment and bills. Ive tried to put this off for a while but can't continue to do so. We're sorry for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding💙

Dear customers,

I'm now fully booked for 2023 but the diary is now open for next year. Booking in advance is strongly advised!

Some of you may know Kelly has gone off to qualify so is now only with me Monday afternoons and Saturdays for the foreseeable. Please bear with me as I'm now the only groomer so things will be a little slower again. With this happening on such short notice, I may have to wiggle a few appts around but I'm trying my upmost hardest to groom all of your doggies.
Please try and show up on time for your appointments (cut off time is 10 minutes)
Thank you all for your continued custom and support❤️🐾

Thank you so much for everyone who has sent donations to me. As you all know I had my haircut today I sent the hair to The Little Princess Trust and all the money raised has gone to Prostate Cancer as my dad is currently undergoing treatment. ❤️

Shannon's fundraiser for PROSTATE CANCER UK - JustGiving

18/07/2023

So I'll be cutting my hair on the 26th August for the Little Princess Trust. This charity is a special one, for those who aren't aware, The little princess trust make real hair wigs for little girls and boys who have lost their hair due to cancer and other illnesses. I did this in 2013 and absolutely loved it and the feeling of doing something good. Although it's been a while, I'll always do this in the future. I also hope this inspires someone else to do the same.

Along side donating my hair, I'm also raising money for Prostate cancer UK. In January this year, we found out my dad had it. It was the hardest news we've had as a family. I'm raising money for this charity so people like my dad continue getting the help and support they and their family need.
Any sponsors are massively appreciated. It would mean the world if as many of you could support me. Donation sheet will also be up in the shop. (5 mart lane burscough) link for the just giving page will be above
thank you all xx

It's currently 29 degrees. It's too hot to walk a dog. Please look after your dogs. Keep them cool, with access to shade and water. Although the sun and nice weather is lovely, it can have fatal consequences for an animal.
Take care everyone xx
