Lu's Grooms - Paws and Claws

12/08/2024

Hi Everyone,
A massive thank you to all those who have been recommending me to new customers on Facebook and Insta. Without you I wouldn't be in the position I am today.
I am closing my books for new clients for a few months as I am taking bookings several weeks in advance at the moment and I am prioritising my regular clients. I will update you all if this changes.
Thank you,
Lulu

A tip I only came across today but definitely worth trying as the weather isn't due to warm up until next week! 🥶Don't forget to spray detangler on your dogs legs before today's walks to prevent snow balls forming in the fur! Not only are these uncomfortable for the dog but will make the fur matt too. Make sure to brush and comb the coat through thoroughly once home and preferably dry. Have fun, keep warm and stay safe!

Look how much this gorgeous girl has grown in only 6 weeks. It is great for your puppy's confidence to have them in with the groomers as soon as you get them fully vaxxed, if you have them have regular appointments when they are young they learn that grooming isn't scary. This little lady just had a nail trim and feet tidy today if you're worried about the cost there are easy ways we can work around that while still ensuring your puppy stays happy about grooming

Christmas Craft Fair to support a local animal charity. Come and say Hi to me, I’ll be teaching nail trimming and selling my hand made crafts.

As lovely as everyone's furry friends are, this will be the only one I'll be seeing until I return on Thursday. I may be slow to reply to messages so please be patient as I'm on leave. Have a great week everyone.

Look at this handsome little man, he has very tight curls so his owners choose to have him at a shorter length which keeps him comfortable and is a lot more manageable in regards to maintaining his coat

12/09/2022

Look at this dashing Dachshund and how well behaved he is offering his paw for a treat at the end of his groom.
Remember even short coated dogs need grooming, it helps to really reduce the amount they shed and keeps them smelling fresh. They also still need their nails trimmed as a lot of smaller breeds are so light their nails don't grind down so much from pavement walking.

This gorgeous girl is a Cavachon, she was so soft and silky like a real life teddy bear. But she also gave me the opportunity to tell you all about ticks, they are small purplish grey arachnids and are often on the feet and ears but can end up anywhere on your dog. Checking through your dog's fur regularly for ticks, grass seeds and any new lumps and bumps is a great habit to get into.

Look at these two gorgeous Golden's! One is more elderly and nervous so he was groomed on the floor where he felt most comfortable. While Golden Retrievers should never be clipped/shaved they do well with a good deshed every few months that gets out all the loose fur, look at how much came off of these two!

06/09/2022

This lovely older lady is a nervous client but with patience and a lot of cuddles she makes it through her grooms, something she has on her side is that she's almost deaf and therefore really doesn't mind being dried as she can't hear the blaster. If you're looking for a dog walker her mum is local to the St Alban's area and I hear good things about her!

06/09/2022

Look at this happy chappy he's always so well behaved for his grooms!

04/09/2022

Lisa is a great trainer and really knows her stuff, if you're looking for a class for your puppies then I really recommend!

This brave pup had his first big boy groom after having a puppy intro last month. He's only 4 months old but look at the size of his paws, he may end up pretty big if he grows into them!
Puppy intros are great for young puppies as the whole process of a full groom can be overwhelming with all the new experiences and how long it can take, it is great to build their confidence by them having a wash and dry first with some introductions to the clippers and the noises they make.

This cute little puppy is learning to be handstripped, a process of removing the outer coat when it is no longer attached. For terriers this keeps their coat glossy and stops them from developing skin issues. He's such a trooper as it can be a tickly sensation when it's first done

14/04/2022

Look at this handsome Labradoodle, would you believe he's still a puppy?! He's been doing so well at getting used to the full grooming process as it can be a bit overwhelming when you're still young.

12/04/2022

The cutest little Shihpoo, with such an intense look on his face, makes you want to just kiss him.

10/04/2022

A Cavapoo puppy, before, during and after pics. He’s on a regular schedule so is getting very comfortable with the grooming experience. He let me trim all of his nails without complaining. Very proud of this boy, and his mum for all the work she’s been putting in. Look how relaxed he was, partway through.

01/04/2022

This Glen of Imaal is one of the rarer terrier’s, like a bigger version of a Westie. This older lady spent most of her groom laid down for her comfort. I’m always happy to work around the dog’s needs.

26/03/2022

Look at the eyelashes on this lovely Showcocker.

24/03/2022

It’s baby Yoda, no, Imperial Shih Tzu it be. A very small variety of Shih Tzu at only 5kg.

23/03/2022

Under there somewhere is a pair of eyes.

22/03/2022

Awh this Australian Labradoodle is so gorgeous, makes you want to just smooch and cuddle him, had to stop a few times during the groom to do just that.

05/03/2022

A Chow Chow, see the difference in the before and after pics, you can see how dense her fur looks. This groom is referred to as a ‘deshed' treatment. We blow out and rake a lot of the undercoat which builds up over time in double coated dogs. She’s also a lot brighter looking because I used a colour correcting shampoo. Look at her cute dark tongue which this breed is known for.

03/03/2022

This lovely Goldendoodle doesn’t much like having his face dried, so we get through it with lots of cuddles and a mounted drier on low rather than the air blaster.

01/03/2022

Sprocker in for a tidy up of her wispies and feathers. She is a gorgeous colour, although I may be biased as she almost has the same colour hair as me.

25/02/2022

Before and after Sprocker style. Her owners love her wig, so I keep it long in the groom, and just neaten it. The curls will be back in a few days as she’s had the equivalent of a blow dry.

23/02/2022

The feathers on a Sprocker can get knotty and then need to be groomed short. But her owners have worked hard and kept them knot free so we can keep them beautifully long and just tidy and shape them.
