This is why at The Dog House especially when a dog arrives we haven’t met before we actually ignore them and let them have time to walk around and adjust and come to us before we say hello and then start grooming.

We are not being unfriendly by not gushing all over your dog when you arrive ( trusts us the temptation to cuddle straight away is always with us) but we are respecting your dogs space and waiting for them to say hello to us first ❤️🐾

The vast majority of you are Fabulous in remembering your appointment but we have had a few recently and with a busy time of year approaching here is a gentle reminder about our now show policy .

We require 24hrs notice to cancel and reschedule your appointment . If for any reason you can’t give 24hrs notice any amount of notice is really appreciated as it gives us a chance to re fill your slot and may remove a late cancellation fee.

No shows will be charged at a full fee.

Please accept the fact that you may have forgotten with grace and dignity when we call you and advise you that there is a fee to be paid . We don’t like having to ask you but we need to as once that appointment is lost we can’t make that money back up .

We send appointment emails at the time of booking , and reminders 7 days and 3 days in advance to try and help you . If you need more let us know .

I do not wish to start having to take a non refundable deposits on appointments like many other groomers are currently doing but no shows are costly to a small business as wages still need to be paid .

Discretion will always be applied in genuine emergencies as we know life can throw us curve balls and is not always kind ❤️

Thankyou for your continued understanding and support .

Should I leave my dogs coat longer in the winter so they won’t get cold ?

This is a question we get asked a lot especially with poodle crosses so here is some information to help make that decision.

1) Your dogs body temperature is higher than ours - dog's normal body temperature ranges from 101° to 102.5° Fahrenheit, which is significantly higher than humans whose body temperature ranges from 97.6° to 99.6° F

2) Generally speaking when a dog is running around outside they are staying warm . They are only cooling down when stationary or very wet and are then in the boot of ( our heated ) cars after the walk.

3) We live in centrally heated houses.

4) A Longer coat takes longer to dry naturally after a wet walk leaving damp conditions on their skin for longer .

5) Longer ( especially poodle mix coats) run the risk of matting in the winter due to wet, muddy conditions and extra towel rubbing (friction).

6) Dog coats used in the winter cause friction . Any friction on a poodle cross coat WILL cause matting and the longer the coat is the more likely this will occur .

7) A longer coat means more commitment at home to keep the coat matt free or requires shorter times between grooming visits .

Finally …. If a dog is badly matted when they come to their grooming appointment they will need to be shaved off regardless of the time of year and then yes your shaved off dog may indeed feel the cold!

So should I keep my dog longer in the winter or just stick to a manageable length all year ?

The answer to this we will leave with you 🥰🐾

One of the hardest parts of being a dog groomer is that phonecall which has me in tears as a beloved dog has passed over rainbow bridge . Sadly this year I have gone through a lot of Kleenex tissue . The downside of being in business as long as I have is that some have been with me right from the start 😢

My thoughts are with all ❤️
