Welcome Rocky & Apollo 🤎

These 2 boys are adorable. Rocky suffers with a nasty skin condition that is being treated with steroids at the moment. He is a little uncomfortable with it so I am careful not to do anything that might irritate him and his skin. The shampoos I use are also all very gentle and suitable for the most sensitive of skin.

Their owner who is the practice manager of my own dog’s vet surgery was super pleased with their grooms and has rebooked for 7 weeks time

Great to have these new recruits in the family! 🥰

Welcome Pepper 🤎

This little angel is PRECIOUS!! What a pleasure to have her on my books. Pepper is great for grooming, such a calm and trusting girl. Looking forward to seeing her again in 7 weeks time 🥰

Welcome Layla 🤎

Layla the Sprollie came for her first groom at Marfa’s Mutts today. She’s a nervous sausage but she did really well. It had been a while so there was plenty to do. Spring is here! Clippy clip clip!!

Well done Layla 🌟

Welcome Charlie 🤎

What a lovely little lad. Great addition to the team. See you again soon Charlie boy!

09/03/2025

Welcome Daisy 🤎

Daisy came for a puppy introduction today. I gave her a brush out and cleared her eyes and started to shape her face a little at her owners request. Daisy a little bit unsure but super well behaved, despite not having had a full groom yet. I think she’s going to settle in really well. Well done Daisy! See you in 4 weeks for your first full groom

Welcome Alfie 🤎

Alfie came for his first visit to Marfa’s Mutts and he hadn’t had a professional groom in a while. We had a lot to do!

Alfie gets very upset about his feet being groomed, especially his front feet. This is a very common area for dogs to be sensitive around but Alfie’s reaction is quite extreme. He has been rebooked for his next appointment so I’m hoping that I can desensitise him over time and help him get over this fear.

Alfie is absolutely gorgeous and very affectionate. He is a typical spaniel full of energy. I’m looking forward to seeing him again and working towards giving him the pawsomely groomed paws that he deserves

Tiger came in for her first full groom today
She was in last week for a puppy introduction
She’s doing so well. There was a fair amount of undercoat to remove and a lot of hair to tame with some scissor trimming. We didn’t aim for perfection on her first groom. Initially I just want her to be as happy and comfortable with the process as possible.

Scroll through the carousel for her before pic ➡️

Tiger’s owner asked lots of questions which is always appreciated and is keen to take my professional advice on how to take care of her pup’s beautiful coat. Excellent. Welcome to the Marfa’s Mutts family and little Tiger 🤎

Ned 🤎

This was Ned’s second visit to Marfa’s Mutts. What a sweet little boy. He’s not a huge fan of being groomed but he doesn’t make anything difficult. He’s very trusting despite it not being his favourite thing.

Ned had a good deshed, a skin and coat conditioning oil rub, an ear clean and dusting of canker powder. He’s back in 6 weeks for another freshen up. Well done Ned. Lovely to have you here 🥰

Welcome Monty 🤎

Lovely to have this little chap on board. He’s a little sweetie and an absolute pleasure to groom. The start of a beautiful relationship. Well done lad 😀

Douglas is my biggest challenge. He’s been turned away from several groomers and has ended up with me (lucky boy! 😄)

Douglas runs into the salon full of sweetness & light. He lives with children who play with him & love him dearly. I give him a bath & dry & he’s fine. Then I trim his face with scissors & he closes his eyes soothed by the snipping. This pic was taken just as I was finishing his face.

Then it’s time to clip his body & legs. This is where Douglas turns. Every time. He becomes a very angry gremlin 😢 I can’t even get a muzzle on him. It’s too dangerous to try. So I have him secured on the table with a groomers helper so that he can’t turn around and bite me (believe me he means it when he tries) & I use a combination of bite gloves & ninja style reactions to keep myself safe.

I have to pull my table into the middle of the salon as I’m unable to turn him around during the groom. He hates me going around to his other side. So I move very slowly & give him a little time to get used to the fact that Iv switched.

The sound of the clippers makes him mad. I clip as much as possible & finish any bits I can’t get to with scissors. I’m super gentle but often he’s not happy with this either. Shaving his sanitary area is a no no, I have only been able to complete this once, on his first visit. Since then even touching his back legs brings out his worst gremlin side.

Once Iv done all I can I let him off the table & he is scrabbling up my legs for attention. He’s back to his usual self. His owners are so lovely and very understanding - “Just do what you can” & they always ask if I’m ok. They have no idea why Douglas is like this for grooming & at home they are very tactile with him although he still won’t let them brush his sanitary area or clip his nails.

The groom is never fully complete. While I’m desperate to turn this behaviour around, he isn’t getting better yet. He’s been 4 times now.

The reality is, I can’t win them all but I’ll be damned if I won’t try with Douglas!

Dog grooming is not easy & certainly not glamorous. But I love it. Douglas needs me even if he doesn’t know it and I am here for him 🤎

Had to do a post of this pic of Rudy as I just love it. I was so happy with the groom I did and although he’s not quite facing the camera, this pic shows the groom, particularly his face and him just beautifully. Rudy is a little feisty for some parts of his groom but such a loving boy the rest of the time. Loving having him in the fam. Well done boy. See you in 8 weeks! 🤎

Welcome Ned 🤎

Ned came for his first groom at Marfa’s Mutts today and he was a champ! A little nervous but receptive to everything I needed to do. I think he’s going to settle in well. Looking forward to seeing him again soon.
Well done Ned! 🥰

Rufus 🤎

Rufus came for an EmmiPet ultrasound teeth clean today. He did really well for 45 minutes and then decided he didn’t want any more so we stopped. Appointments are booked for an hour.

Lots of plaque was successfully removed but there is still some more to work on. We have booked a follow up but will have to see if Rufus is happy to proceed again next week.

Otherwise he will need to be referred to a vet for sedation. His owner doesn’t really want this as sedation makes him poorly afterwards. Let’s all keep our fingers crossed that Rufus is happy to have some more treatment next week at Marfa’s Mutts!

Ultrasound teeth cleaning is super non-invasive. No vibrations from the brush at all. However a dog needs to be receptive to having the brush in their mouth for a time and for me to go in and remove any stubborn plaque using a tool.

Unfortunately not all dogs are receptive to this process without sedation. But we can try! For dogs who are receptive the results are incredible! Chewing on a bone after ultrasound has loosened the plaque can also help more of it break away by itself.

Rufus is nervous boy so i’m very proud of how well he did. Despite having had enough of teeth cleaning he was comfortable and affectionate with me once he knew we were finished. Well done Rufus! See you next week to attempt round 2! 🤞🤞🤞

Well 2024 is almost over. What a year! This year Marfa’s Mutts has become my sole trade. So many new and wonderful clients, dogs and humans! I can’t tell you all how grateful I am for being able to do what I love full time. Thank you so much for supporting my small business all of you 😘

Now we are all looking at the start of a new year. 2024 has been one of the most life changing for me. I have made so many new connections and I thank founder of for a HUGE part in that. Getting to know so many other inspiring entrepreneurs who I can now call my friends has been truly one of the best things that could have happened this year. I couldn’t be without them now. Love you all so much 💜

Also my dog grooming girls Sally and Shelby who I just would not want to run my business without ever. They’re always on the other end of the phone during hard times and always ready for mischief and laughs when we need some of that too. My girls. Love you❤️

And my Bodhi. My boy who doesn’t have an easy life with his rare and at times painful autoimmune condition but who is my constant, my every day and is so loyal and loving. Like dogs are. He puts up with the cone of shame more often than he should and silly boots on his broken feet. But is always happy and content none the less. Cheers to another year with you my beautiful boy 🥰

It really has been the most productive year. I’ve found new loves in regular yoga practice with and strength training thanks to at .gym where Iv met even more like minded people and have become the strongest and fittest that I have ever been 💪

And of course my wonderful friends and family who are always there to pick me up when things are tough and who I really couldn’t imagine life without. Love you forev’s 🫶

Thank you 2024 and everyone who’s been in it. It really has been one of the best years of my life. I have more peace and love than I could have hoped for not so long ago 🥰

I’m gonna stop being soppy now and just say…..

Happy New Year 2025 everyone!
Bring on another banger!! 🥳🥂

Just a quick video starring Bernie, to show you how well equipped I am at Marfa’s Mutts to service your big dogs My bath and table are both electric and can be put down really low so that my clients can hop in and out and on and off, all by themselves. I also have a ramp for the bath that means they don’t even need to hop. They can just walk straight out of the bath and into the salon. Perfect.Plus this also helps to save my poor old back… bonus!! @molclarke #goldenretriever #salonlife #doggroominglife #leighonsea #southendonsea #bigdogproblems

Winter 🤎Here’s Winter having a deshed. I missed filming her nails, pads and ear clean but the deshed is the most part of Winter’s groom so here it is! I love working with rescued and nervous dogs.
