*Quick request*
I understand that I am closing and that people are looking for and finding new dog groomers but please could I ask that if you have an appointment booked with me and no longer need it that you send me a quick message to cancel.
I have had several no shows lately 😞
Thank you and enjoy the sunshine 🌞

I hope I’ve managed to get in touch with everyone booked in individually but if not please read below

To all my loyal and highly valued customers

After a lot of thought and consideration and due to a number of different factors I am sorry to announce that I will be closing Suki’s Salon and stepping away from dog grooming.

I am so grateful and thankful for your continued support whilst Suki’s Salon has been open and that each and every one of you have given me the opportunity to work with your gorgeous pooches.

Please know I haven’t made this decision lightly and I understand the impact it will have on all of you finding a new groomer for your gorgeous fur babies.

I will be working up to and including 29th July so if you want to book or already have appointments booked before then these will go ahead as planned unless you would rather cancel and find someone else now and of course I will understand that.

There will be someone renting out the salon - Mel at Dog Ruff Groomers - so if anyone would like me to pass you the details to contact her please just let me know

I will miss you all
Gail 🐾

Fab advice 😊🐾❄️☃️☔️

Lets talk about Winter coat care 🌧

Along with Winter comes rain and snow which means extra care is needed to keep your dog’s coat in tip top condition.

A lot of customers generally ask for their dogs coat to be kept longer in winter but it is actually much better for your dog and their coat to keep them at their regular length or even think about taking them a little shorter.

Why?
Extra length means your pet actually holds water which in turn makes them colder and they stay wet for longer. This can also cause sores on your pets belly and between the toes due moisture.
Most dogs spent 90% of their day indoors with central heating and tend to go on shorter walks during the winter months due to bad weather and less daylight hours so the extra hair you feel they need to keep warm may not actually be necessary.

Here are a few tips on the ways you can help keep your dogs coat in better condition this winter…

•Instead of rubbing your dog with a towel, pat them dry, rubbing causes friction and damage which in turn causes matting.

•If you notice your dog has any tangles in their coat brush these out before taking them out in the rain or on return rinse them and brush out while the coat is still wet, I know this sounds crazy as we are always taught not to brush our hair wet.
A small tangle when wet gets tighter as it dries and extra hair joins the tangle creating a mat. So if it is necessary to rinse your dog, pat dry with a towel then spray with a little leave in conditioner and brush while still wet. This will stop a tangle from turning in to a mat which can pull on your dog’s skin and insure the coat stays healthy and free from damage.

•If you do want to keep your pet longer for winter it is actually advised to have them groomed more often!
Why?
When a coat is not trimmed regularly but you are brushing it is like our hair, it becomes damaged, which in turn makes the coat harder to manage, also matting against the skin will hold water longer and cause pain.
So it is actually better for the coat to have regular baths and trims rather than leaving the coat to grow but this is the case at any time of year, not just winter.

I am always happy to do mid groom bath, brush and tidies if you are struggling with up keep at home.
Bringing your dog in more regularly ensures we can keep your chosen style and length rather than having no option other than to go short due to matting and damage.
If you do struggle, please message me, your pets comfort and keeping your dog in the style you like is always my top priority. 🧡🍂

On our walk to Roche Abbey this afternoon we bumped into the lady whose dog this is - he is still missing. They think he was spotted near Roche Abbey heading towards Maltby this afternoon. If anyone spots him please ring the number on the bottom of the leaflet 🐾😞

Yes please to starting that grooming process early. Get used to brushing at home and understand the skin. My webinar with Jo Angus will help you with maintenance of the coat and skin. https://www.animallovepetfirstaid.co.uk/educational-webinars

It is so very important to start early, also the groomer/dog relationship will be a more united one if you introduce them as soon as possible.

Please do not leave these poor dogs to get matted and dislike something that is important for them for the rest of their lives. It may seem like its just hair, but that hair needs to be cared for to help skin health.

One vet trying to make a little difference.

24/03/2022

This vet is fab - recommend her courses for owners and professionals 🐾 🐶🐕

This lovely jammed packed webinar is bookable via https://www.animallovepetfirstaid.co.uk/educational-webinars

If you choose not to spay, you must be aware of your dog and her cycle, what impact that can have. And if you choose to neuter, when? Should it be 3 months after their last season? The phantom pregnancies are they a big deal? Come and learn a lot about our female dogs.

Limited spaces, time for questions (as long as you need), lots of practical, educational, and useful advice.

Understanding the unneutered female - taught by vet Dr Sophie Bell, a must for pet owners and pet professionals.
