Hi everyone,
Just wanted to pop on and say that there’s lots of fleas about at the moment, please make sure your dog is covered with vet treatment to avoid getting them.

Also, please don’t feel bad when I tell you your dog has fleas. I see them a lot & it is so easy for dogs to pick them up, it doesn’t mean you’re a scruff lol 😂💕🪰

Hi guys, I’m having trouble with my online diary so there is a delay with messages. I will get back to you all by the weekend when I have sorted out a new diary situation. Thank you 💕

Something different and a fun way to photograph some breeds l’ve not had the pleasure of capturing yet!

If you have one of the breeds above and would love some beautiful photos to cherish, we are offering you a free session PLUS a complimentary, beautifully edited, digital image!

Please either comment below with which breed of dog you have or send us a DM! 🤍🐾

Hey guys, would just like to let you all know I don’t have any apps til mid July now as I have holidays coming up. I’ve also had a few no shows over last few days & ignored me when I’ve asked for cancellation fee, if you aren’t willing to pay 50% if you don’t show up or cancel last min then don’t book in with me. I don’t have time for time wasters.

Thank you 💕

To all my lovely customers, I’d firstly like to thank you all for your continued support, it means everything 💕

I have tried to keep my prices at a minimum however, with prices of premium products, tools, business costs and to keep in line with inflation and dog grooming prices in the area, the time has come where a price increase is necessary. Week commencing 22nd April.

I understand if you can not facilitate the price increase and if you wish to book elsewhere please do, just let me know if you wish to cancel any future bookings.

Thank you for understanding, love Ellie ###

The unfortunate truth of owning and running a business.
Running a business is really hard.
What they don’t tell you is that it can cause severe stress and anxiety, and drains you mentally to the point of depression in even the most laid-back people.
People will talk about you, compare you to others, use you, they will view you as a service and not a person anymore.
People will expect discounts and people will value you and your hard work less than a big chain store.
You have to worry about if you forget to email/message someone back, are they going to think it was on purpose? Did you disappoint them? Will they hold that against you? When in reality you just can’t get to everyone’s messages and emails.
Starting up and running a successful business puts incredible strain on personal lives and relationships, many of which fail because there is just often no work life balance. You need to be the director, the worker, the admin, the marketing team, the accountant, the cleaner..... All whilst being a parent, a provider, family support, friend, spouse...
There’s a reason you don’t see many people succeed in small businesses after 5-10 years. If they are successful they are overwhelmed. It takes a toll. It’s freaking exhausting. Especially the past couple of years when so much has been out of our control.
Here’s a small reminder that we are just normal people with hectic lives. Be kind, be patient, support small businesses…….and hopefully more of us will stick around!
