These rubber ducks at bath time are a big hit, especially with puppies 🥰.

Makeover time 🥰….
A lovely mix of dogs in the salon last week, and the opportunity for some makeovers, one of the best aspects of being a groomer. Also a great mix of grooms, skin/coat treatments and teeth cleans.
Looking forward to Best in Show at Crufts which is on now! The Gun Dog group yesterday was amazing, and how beautiful was the spaniel that won? 😍.
Back in the salon tomorrow, bright and early.

Crufts 2025 & A Beautiful First Groom (Yes, I am biased)
Crufts never disappoints. A couple of my highlights are seeing young Freddie and his fox terrier. Also Nzuri, the three legged dog doing amazingly well in Flyball.
Whilst there are plenty more photos (and a hilarious video from last week) still to come, I can’t resist sharing this transformation from today. 3 years old and never been groomed before. The only client brief was to keep the ears very long. My recommendation was to trim the feathered paws. Cavvy paws are beautiful, but Exmoor isn’t quite a royal palace, so a shorter trim makes sense - the client definitely agreed.
If you have been watching Crufts, drop your favourite moments in the comments or let me know who you think will win - or if you just want to drop a photo of your own “Winners”, that’s always lovely to see.
Have a great weekend, and watch out for the grooming pics and video over the weekend.

Jedi Deshed - when Obi came in earlier this week, I tried to resist using the blaster dryer like a light saber whilst blowing out the undercoat, and pretty soon, tufts of compacted undercoat were flying everywhere. Balance in the hair force has been restored, and as a groomer, there is no greater feeling than doing this after a deshed groom.

🥕No vegetable scrapings go to waste here – they’re all served up on the dog board, ready for their delight and delectation. Harry’s carrot chomping always brings a smile to my face, but one of the gang has a more refined palate – scrapings ✅. Tops and tails? ❌ - although the word tail maybe a sensitive issue for him - considering he has had to have his chopped off. He is a bit fussy, but as the old boy of the gang, he’s earned his quirks and is more of a sweet potato boy.
Here’s why the orange wonder sticks are great for your dog (and you too!):
1. Carrots are packed with vitamins, especially vitamin A, which supports vision, the immune system, and skin health. Ensuring adequate levels of Vitamin A is important as it can prevent dryness, flakiness, and the development of certain skin infections.
2. Low-calorie: They are low in calories and fat, making them a great snack for dogs needing to maintain a healthy weight.
3. Dental benefits: Chewing raw carrots can help clean teeth and reduce plaque.
4. High in fibre: Carrots aid digestion and promote regular bowel movements.
5. Hydrating: With high water content, carrots help keep dogs hydrated.
Hope you are having a great weekend, despite the weather!

Remember my post the other day for the Royal British Legion? Well, meet the young lad who is the one directing operations 🐾 Always keen for his nail trim and paw pamper 😂, he says a positive mental attitude helps motivate him, along with having salon ready nails, groomer cuddles and treats keep him going. 😂.
As many of you know, I have a special love for Labradors and always have to say hello when I see one.
Two years ago, Simba joined us and has fitted right in from day one. He is truly loved, and we are blessed to have him as part of our family.
Here’s to Simba, my one and only Lab Lion, on your 2nd Gotcha Day! Thank you for filling our lives with Labrador love. We love you to bits 💕!

🏆🐾Competition Time 🐾🏆
My boy Simba is old, and quite rightly, sleeps a lot. His dreams must be wild – judging by the epic leg movements and squeaks! The other night, I turned into his personal bed while he snored away to the radio. I Have a Dream by ABBA came on, and I just knew it was his perfect theme tune 😴🎶🎹 - listen with your sound on 💕.
What's your dog's theme song, and why? Closing date for entries is next Saturday.
Comment below for a chance to win a tube of Orazyme teeth gel (highly recommended for those pearly whites) or a Paw Fizz treatment add-on at your next groom. The Paw Fizz treatment is fantastic for deep conditioning and cleaning those precious paw pads, especially for beach-loving and road-walking dogs 💕. #GoneGroomingDevon
