Bathing a cat can be challenging, but with the right approach, it can be a stress-free experience for both of you. Here’s how to do it safely and efficiently:

How to Bathe a Cat
1. Prepare Everything in Advance
Gather cat-friendly shampoo, a jug or detachable shower head, a towel, and a non-slip mat for the sink or tub. Have everything within reach to avoid unnecessary movement during the bath.
2. Brush First
Removing tangles and loose fur before the bath will make the process easier and help prevent mats from getting worse when wet.
3. Use Lukewarm Water
Fill the sink or tub with a few inches of lukewarm water. Avoid using water that is too hot or too cold, as cats are sensitive to temperature changes.
4. Introduce Water Gradually
Gently place your cat in the water and use a jug or shower head on a low setting to wet their fur. Keep their head dry to reduce stress.
5. Apply Cat-Specific Shampoo
Use only a shampoo formulated for cats. Massage it into the fur, avoiding the face and ears. Never use human or dog shampoo, as it can irritate their skin.
6. Rinse Thoroughly
Ensure all shampoo is rinsed out, as residue can cause skin irritation. Pour water gently over their body, being careful around the face.
7. Dry Gently
Wrap your cat in a warm towel and pat them dry. If they tolerate a hairdryer, use the lowest heat setting and keep it at a safe distance.
8. Reward and Reassure
Offer treats and gentle praise to create a positive association with bath time.

Most cats don’t need frequent baths unless they have a skin condition or get particularly dirty. If your cat dislikes water, alternatives like waterless shampoo or book an appointment with me ✂️✂️✂️

Did you know some everyday foods can be highly toxic to dogs? It’s essential to be aware of what’s safe and what’s not to keep your dog healthy and happy.

If you think your dog has eaten something toxic, contact your vet immediately. It’s better to act quickly to avoid complications.

Everyone’s journey is unique, and mine has been shaped by a love for dogs and a passion for their wellbeing. When I started TOWIG, I knew I wanted to make a difference in the lives of dogs and their owners.

There have been challenges, lessons, and plenty of rewarding moments along the way. From when a rescue dog comes to me to seeing their reaction and improvement after a few visits, this journey has been worth every step.

I’ve built my business around trust, care, and expert knowledge to ensure every dog gets the attention they deserve.

Thank you to everyone who’s been part of this journey—whether you’re a client, supporter, or simply someone cheering me on.

If you’d like to know more about what I do or how I can help you and your dog, feel free to get in touch—I’d love to hear from you.

As the colder months settle in, it’s important to adjust how we care for our dogs to keep them safe and comfortable. Some dogs thrive in cold weather, but others may feel the chill more than we expect. Here are some things to keep in mind as the temperature drops:
1. Short walks might be better – Cold pavements and icy paths can be uncomfortable for dogs, especially those with sensitive paws. If your dog seems hesitant or lifts their paws, it might be time to shorten their walk.
2. Paw care is essential – Ice, grit, and salt can irritate your dog’s paws, so giving them a quick rinse and drying them after walks helps to keep them healthy.
3. Consider a coat – While not all dogs need one, smaller breeds, older dogs, and those with thin coats may benefit from wearing a properly fitted, warm coat during walks.
4. Stay visible – Dark mornings and evenings mean reflective gear is a must for both you and your dog to stay safe.
5. Watch for warning signs – If your dog starts shivering or seems reluctant to walk, they might be too cold and ready to head indoors.

Winter is a beautiful season, but it comes with its own challenges. Let’s make sure our dogs enjoy it as much as we do!

What steps do you take to keep your dog cosy during the colder months?

Did you know that regular grooming appointments can save you money in the long run? It might seem counterintuitive at first, but here’s why investing in consistent grooming makes financial sense:

When your dog is groomed regularly, issues like matting, skin irritations, or infections are caught early—or even prevented entirely. Mats, for example, can lead to painful skin problems that require costly veterinary treatment. Clean and properly maintained coats also reduce the risk of parasites like fleas and ticks, which can result in expensive medications or vet visits.

Routine grooming also ensures your dog’s nails are trimmed and ears are clean, which helps avoid conditions like ingrown nails or ear infections—both of which can be uncomfortable for your dog and costly to treat.

In short, keeping up with grooming appointments isn’t just about appearance; it’s a proactive way to manage your dog’s health and avoid unexpected expenses.

Book your next grooming session today to keep your dog happy, healthy, and looking their best!

Looking for a new dog groomer in 2025?

It’s a common misconception that all groomers are the same, but finding the right one can make a world of difference for your dog’s comfort, health, and happiness.

A professional groomer does much more than make your dog look good—they spot early signs of skin conditions, check for lumps or bumps, and help keep nails at a safe length to avoid discomfort. Each dog has unique grooming needs based on their breed, coat type, and lifestyle, so it’s important to choose someone who understands your dog’s specific requirements.

If you’re considering a change this year, I’m a one to one groomer of cats and dogs - so get in touch for a chat to book an appointment and let’s work together to make grooming a positive experience ✂️✂️✂️

Christmas Dangers: Silica Gel and Dogs

With Christmas comes an influx of packages, gifts, and decorations — but hidden inside many of these are small silica gel packets. While they might seem harmless, they can pose a risk to dogs. Here’s what you need to know:
1. What is silica gel?
Silica gel packets are often found in shoe boxes, bags, electronics, and even pet products to keep moisture at bay. These tiny packets are labelled “Do Not Eat,” but dogs don’t read labels!
2. Is silica gel toxic?
While silica gel isn’t technically toxic, it can still cause issues. If chewed or swallowed, it may cause irritation to your dog’s digestive system, leading to symptoms like vomiting, drooling, or diarrhoea. The biggest risk, however, is if the packet causes a choking hazard or blockage, especially in smaller dogs.
3. What should you do if your dog eats silica gel?
If you suspect your dog has swallowed a packet, check for signs of distress like coughing, retching, or abdominal discomfort. Call your vet if you’re concerned or if your dog shows any unusual symptoms.

How to prevent it:
• Remove silica gel packets from new items as soon as you unpack them.
• Dispose of them in a secure bin that your dog can’t access.
• Be mindful when unwrapping gifts where packets may fall unnoticed.

This small step can save you and your dog a lot of stress this Christmas. Stay safe and keep the festive season full of joy, not unexpected vet visits.
