Lovely to have some of my hairy pups back on the table 🥰 covered in hair and my arm aches but I absolutely love it!
A couple missing from the last couple of weeks - apologies 🙈
I may have to purchase a ring light now I have a bit more time to post on socials again!

Beautiful Otto doing what he does best - showing off.
Otto is an absolute pleasure to groom - first he took me to Crufts and now into advertising.
Such a good boy 🧡🐕

Happy New Year to you all! 🥳

My apologies for being quiet over the past 6 months - I’m sure you can understand that life with two boys is quite hectic especially when Christmas & New Year are added to the mix.

📣 I have spoken to quite a few of you independently but just wanted to put a post on my page to keep everyone updated.

I have been looking at my childcare options and it’s proving quite difficult to go back to the hours I was working before Ollie came along. As it stands, I will only be able to work the following times:

🗓️ Thursday & Friday mornings
🗓️ Occasional Tuesday or Wednesday lunchtimes
🗓️ I will continue working one Saturday a month (however these are fully booked for quite some time)

Due to this I would like to focus on coat types and breeds that I am passionate about, to drive for perfection within my field and to continue building on my skillset. This would include breeds with double coats such as:

🐕 German Shepherds
🐕 Border Collies
🐕 Golden Retrievers
🐕 Labradors, etc

⭐️ I am fortunate to have a large salon to accommodate these breeds and I’m aware other groomers might not have the luxury of space, so hopefully this will be a win win for all!

I can only apologise if this is not the news some of you wanted to hear, but for now I will encourage you to continue using the groomers you have whilst I have been away or I can point you in the direction of some local trusted groomers ✂️
If you have any questions, please message me.

👦🏼👶🏼 As the boys get older, my hours are likely to change again so please keep an eye out as I will update and advertise on my page!

I’m so grateful for your patience and continued support ❤️

Here’s to a happy and healthy 2025 for all 🥂

Thank you to everyone who has sent their well wishes over the past few weeks.
We are very much in our little bubble still - Oliver is an eating machine and not giving me a lot of time to spare.
Just an update for you all - before I finished, I said I may be back late this year but as it stands, Oliver is very dependent on me with feeding so I won’t be back up and running as soon as expected.

🎄Obviously the dreaded festive period is fast approaching and I’m aware other groomers as now taking December bookings. If you have been with another groomer whilst I’ve been away then I strongly suggest getting booked in with them for Christmas 🎄

For those that have been holding out until my return, I have a list of contacts that can help if your dogs are now desperate for a groom.
I will be putting a plan together for the new year and getting more of a structure on my work diary so please bear with me until then.
I have turned off notifications from this page so I can enjoy my time off.

💰Please also note that due to energy rates, products and cost of living increasing, I will be having a pricing review upon my return. I haven’t increased my pricing since 2022 so I hope you all understand 💰

Thanks again for all your support and patience!

Thank you for understanding that I’m a small business - late cancellations and no-show fees are in place as I’m unable to fill the gap with such short notice resulting in a loss of earnings.
Thank you!
