Good morning,

As most of you know I have been really struggling the last few weeks and have had to cancel so many appointments. Which I am so so sorry for. You all know I’m not usually this bad and wouldn’t cancel you unless I really needed to.

I have made the decision to cut down my days and hours with immediate effect. I will now be working 4 days a week and from 9am- 4pm on them days. I will also only be doing 3-4 dogs a day. Any appointments that are already scheduled for 8am will still be going ahead. I have also been advised not to groom any dogs that are heavy and won’t jump in the bath and table themselves, and not to groom any dogs that are difficult to groom or bite. This hopefully should only be temporary and until i start to feel a bit more myself. This is under doctors advice. I will contact any of you that I can no longer do.

As I’m doing less dogs a day there will be less appointments available. So please make sure you book in in advance. I will also NOT be taking on any new clients for the time being.

Also please bear with me as I can’t guarantee I won’t have to cancel any appointments going forward. I’m just taking each day as it comes.

Thank you for sticking with me and understanding.

Laura

I’m so sorry for the cancellations I’ve had to make this week. I am bed ridden with a chest infection. I am not feeling very well at all. Yesterday I slept all day and just got up to be sick. I am back on my ivf medication and it weakens your immune system. It makes you feel rubbish anyway so being sick on top is not ideal. I’m so sorry to cancel everybody this week but we have an embryo transfer on Tuesday and I need to be better by then or the clinic will cancel it. We will then have to wait until January to go again. I know this sounds harsh but I need to put myself first and get better.
I have a lot of appointments to reschedule so please bear with me.
Thank you for understanding
Laura

Evening everyone,

Just coming on here to let you know my diary is now open for the rest of the year. With most of you only having one more groom before your dogs Christmas pamper session, I can’t stress enough to book as soon as you can to avoid disappointment. There are a couple of groomers shutting down in my area and some of their clients have contacted me for appointments. I want to make sure all my regulars have their appointments booked. You can do so by messaging me directly on 07985275679 or following this link to book.

‼️ No Shows ‼️

I’m sorry but I’m coming on to have a little rant. I am getting a few no shows again, which can be very detrimental to a small businesses. Today I blocked out a 4 hour slot for a groom and teeth clean and they didn’t pay their deposit or show up for their appointment. It was also too late to fill the slot which means I’m down a lot of money today. This is unacceptable and I am now having no choice to get strict with my no show and deposit policy.

I will no longer be keeping the appointment open if your deposit isn’t paid. If your deposit isn’t paid 48 hours before your dogs appointment your slot will be cancelled and given to someone else. If you no show your appointment your deposit will be kept and a 100% no show fee will be invoiced. This must be paid before rebooking another slot. If you cannot make your appointment please give me as much notice as possible. Cancelling on the day off your appointment will also incur a fee.

Also as the £10 deposit isn’t working I have no choice to increase deposits to 50% of the appointment total. This is to ensure I get some money for the time I allocate to you all. This will come into affect immediately.

I know this sounds harsh and 98% of you are amazing but I’m £192 down this month due to no shows.

Thank you for understanding and supporting me

Hi everyone
I’m so sorry to all of you that I’ve had to reschedule this week. It has been a very scary week. On Friday I went to my GP thinking I had a normal eye infection. He referred me to the hospital as it turned out it was a dangerous eye infection which can be life threatening. I have no idea how I got it. After hours of tests including a CT scan, they gave me strong antibiotics and sent home to rest. I then had a reaction to the meds and ended up in hospital again. I feel so ill with it and am struggling to keep awake and function. I have had a strange tingling in my head since Sunday which goes all down my neck. The hospital have said this is just a symptom of the infection and it should go with antibiotics. I have just had an appointment with a private eye doctor to make sure there’s no lasting damage to my eye which thankfully there isn’t. He has said that this type of eye infection can really make you feel rotten for weeks so has advised me to rest until at least Monday. All appointments booked in for the rest of the week will be rescheduled for next week. I will message you all on Sunday to reschedule but please bear with me as I have a weeks worth appointments to rebook on top of what’s already booked in.

Thank you all for understanding and for your messages to make sure I’m ok.

🎉 Raffle Draw Winners 🎉 Hi everyone so sorry I didn’t do this last night. The traffic was crazy going home to sittingbourne last night. Ok so the winners are:- 1st prize - BonBon Labrador Gem Lind you’ve won the hamper and £10 off BonBons next groom. 2nd prize- Remy PBGV Louise Remy Parker you’ve won £10 off his next groom 3rd prize- Spot Jack Russell Mica Spinks you’ve won £5 off her next groom. Congratulations and a massive thank you again to everyone for supporting me throughout the year. I will do another draw like this soon ♥️

Last night myself and dozens of other businesses on medway city estate were broken into by this scumbag. Thankfully he only took my loose change totalling to approximately £5 and my doorbell. Others didn’t come off as lightly with some having thousands taken. If any of you recognise this man can you please call 101 quoting my crime reference number 23-0253 and tell them. Also if you could share this post as wide as possible to help catch him.

Handsome Bertie has been through the wars lately and has had a operation on his back to remove a aggressive cancer. Thankfully his mum and his vet caught it early and he had made a full recovery. His mum thought he deserved a well needed pamper session. I love this little boy so much 💕
