Very happy to announce that we are now able to offer the Vetskill Level 3 qualification in preventative canine oral care and dental hygiene, so please contact us if you would like further details.

It is worth noting that some insurance companies will not now insure groomers or other canine professionals to offer teeth cleaning unless they hold a level 3 qualification.

We found a flashback to the past today when Lottie was a baby groomer. This was lovely Tex the Lakeland cross, who belonged to our friend, Harry ❤️❤️

I am sitting in the garden reflecting on my dog grooming career. Every day I say to myself how lucky I am to be trusted by our clients and privileged to work with their lovely dogs.

This has been a career which, not only has provided for my family over the last more than 30 years, it has been a passion and an opportunity to meet some wonderful people, both clients and other professionals in the industry.

Our little business has also provided our daughter, Lottie with a skill for life and a profession she can be proud of. I am so proud of her for achieving her qualifications and becoming a kind, skilled and caring groomer who is valued by our clients.

I would like to thank every one of our clients for making our business what it is, and all the students who have attended our academy over the years.

I can never thank you all enough ❤️❤️❤️

Two firsts for us this week.

On Monday we had gorgeous Betsy the Patterdale cross in who is a hermaphrodite - I have never seen this before in over 30 years of grooming.

And today we had Peanut the poodle in who was rescued from the dog meat trade in China.

🥺🥺🥺

Posted by my friend who is a vet. PLEASE, PLEASE don’t risk your dog’s life by walking them in the extreme heat! 🥵

Today I am grateful NOT to be working in clinic. No not to enjoy the sunshine, but to be away from the devastation that heatstroke still causes despite multiple warnings. I am grateful not to be battling to save lives, and witnessing unnecessary deaths of wonderful dogs who would have quite happily missed a walk today.

To all my veterinary colleagues, I just hope you do not have to see too many tragedies today. Sending lots of love and healing as it’s part of our job which should no longer be part of our job and has a huge negative mental impact.

KEEP THOSE DOGS IN THE COOL, AT HOME!
