I actually remembered to do a before photo on teeth cleaning today great result from just one clean - remember all dogs plaque build up is different some comes off with one clean others need several - but this one worked brilliantly 🦷🦷🪥

Why not ask for a teeth test with your next groom to see if your dog would accept Ultra Sonic teeth cleaning - no noise , vibrations or anesthetic

As many will be aware changes by the government which come into effect 1st April will financially impact all businesses ( especially small businesses) .

Unfortunately it means I have had to review my prices and wanted to pre warn everyone that there will be a price increase . I am trying to keep it as small as possible as I know we are all facing difficult times and these changes will increase the cost of living across all sectors .

BUT if you ever wondered about the value you get from your dog groom compared to your own hair cut here is an informative ( tongue in cheek ) chart ( you may have to enlarge to read 🫣🤓)


And to all hairdressers - respect to both industries we all work so hard - we just get a few little extras 🤣🐾💕

Thankyou for your continued support

The sun is out ☀️which hopefully means spring is on its way . This does mean some extra dangers for our dogs especially in the garden so here is a re cap .

If you think your dog has eaten a bulb please seek veterinary attention as soon as you can .

I thought Digby had digested a snowdrop bulb last spring - after vomiting at the vets it turned out be a pistachio nut 🤣🫣 but better to be safe than sorry ( still don’t know where he got a pistachio nut from 🤷‍♀️)

⚠️TOXIC FLOWERS TO DOGS IN SPRING⚠️

DAFFODILS & NARCISSUS 🌼
The bulbs, flowers and leaves contain alkaloids which can cause an upset stomach or cause vomiting if eaten. In extreme cases, they can even cause dogs to have fits. The bulbs are the most toxic part but even water in which daffodils have been standing can be poisonous so keep your dog well away.

TULIPS & HYACINTH🌷
The bulbs contain a toxin which can irritate dogs’ mouths and gastrointestinal tract, resulting in drooling, vomiting and diarrhoea. Serious cases are rare but heart problems and difficulty breathing are also symptoms of Tulip poisoning.

BLUEBELLS🪻
Bluebell plants and bulbs contain ‘scillarens’, chemicals that reduce the heart rate. This can cause vomiting, diarrhoea, lethargy and disorientation in dogs.

LILIES 🪷
This family of flowering plant includes lily of the valley, calla lily and peace lily varieties, all of which are potentially toxic for dogs. The pollen, bulb and foliage of these plants can cause a variety of symptoms depending on the variety of lily, but the most common symptoms are vomiting, diarrhoea, lack of appetite and drooling.

It’s always safest to avoid planting these flowers in your garden or having them in your home. Whilst toxic poisoning caused by bulbs is fortunately rare, our vets do see an increase in dogs with an upset stomach after nibbling on garden bulbs.
If you suspect your pet has eaten a toxic bulb or plant, contact your local vet immediately

This year we have said goodbye to far too many of our wonderful dogs it’s the worst part of this job as we get so attached especially those who have been with me for so long since a puppy .

Today we said goodbye to another and our hearts and love go out to their family at this sad time . We will miss him dearly as we do with all they are never forgotten 🐾💕
