Mr. Pawfect

Mr. Pawfect is a City & Guilds Qualified & fully insured dog groomer in the Southend, Essex area. We can tailor your pets groom to suit your lifestyle.
(61)

All breeds and sizes are accommodated. We now have new extended hours to suit our clients busy lives. We strive to create a calm and collective atmosphere inside our salon to ensure your dogs have the most positive experience with us. We use the latest state of the art equipment to reduce stress from noise and sensation from our Bathing station, High Velocity Dryers and our Clippers. Each of these

tools have been chosen for their outstanding performance and the minimal stress they put on the dogs themselves (i.e. Noise, Vibration and Motion.) Each dog is treated like they are our own and receive breaks from the groom at the first sign of stress. We are able to give this level of service as we allow extra time between our grooms so we can ensure each dog receives the highest level of care, love and attention and above all has a safe stay with us. When your dog is with us it is never left alone, put into a cage and is free to roam our salon and garden area before, after and during the groom if required. This method gives the dog time to familiarise their new environment and feel safe and secure with us. (they also get a chance to play with their new groomer friends). Our salon is a calming environment where your dogs will feel relaxed and stress free creating a spa like retreat for them. We will only take a maximum of two dogs at any one time. (Multi dogs households are welcome on same visit). Please advise your groomers if your dog is fearful of other dogs as we can accommodate his/her needs.

Our scissors are now packed away for the next 8 days as we’re now closed for annual leave.

We will be able to tap into messages occasionally throughout the week to keep on top of messages but there may be a delay coming back to you.

We will reopen on Monday 13th May at 8:30am.

Have a great Bank Holiday weekend
Love
Wayne & Dean 🐾

We are now closed for an Easter break and will reopen on Tuesday 2nd April. We will tap into the work phone messages from time to time to catch up in between eating our body weight in Easter eggs 😂 so there may be a slight delay in coming back to everyone.

We couldn’t not post this without saying a sad goodbye to one of our lovely regulars who’s moving up north and this week was his last groom with us 😢 Murphy has been with us since we very first started and we both adore this little man (to the point we used to argue over who was grooming him 😂). He’s a pleasure to groom and an absolute darling to have in the salon. We will definitely miss you…. and of course catch ups with Mum. See you later Murph 😘

Have a lovely Easter break everyone and we’ll see you all when we come back 🐣

Love
Wayne & Dean 🐾

Our lovely poodle mad customer takes on another poodle and it turns up in this beautiful trim 😍

Can anyone guess what this cut is called? (It’s a modified version).

The little chap was only in for a bath and brush today to see how he gets on with the process….. of which he absolutely smashed it, even at 7 months old.

Full groom pending…..

16/01/2024

Let’s talk jumpers, coats and fleeces…..

Curly coated dogs (Poodles, Cockerpoos, Cavapoos, Bichon, Bichon mixes etc) please read:

We are seeing a huge increase in dogs wearing jumpers, coats and fleeces in this cold weather and whilst we are not against putting your dogs in these to keep them warm and dry in the cold wet weather. Please please please remember to brush AND COMB your dogs as soon as you get home if they’ve been wearing them. Putting any type of coat, fleece and jumper on a curly coated dog will cause friction with the clothing rubbing on their coat as they move about whilst out walking and this friction causes matts in their coats.

Unfortunately we’ve had to shave down a lot of dogs very short this winter as their fur was matted so badly, shaving them down was the only option.

As most of our clients know, we hate shaving down dogs. However, whilst we don’t like shaving them down, if their coat isn’t properly maintained between grooms and they’ve worn some sort of clothing it will cause matts and the kindest option is to shave the coat off and start again.

When brushing your dog, please make sure the brush pins are reaching right down to the dogs skin and you’re not just brushing the top layer. Once you’ve have brushed them all over, please then run a comb through their coat. Remember, if the comb doesn’t go through the coat you need to continue brushing until it does. We always recommend a slicker brush and a long tooth comb.

We’ve attached some photos of some of the coat and fleeces that we are referring to.

Please drop us a message if you want some recommendations on brushes and combs. There’s some amazing tools on the market.

Hope that helps.

Wayne & Dean

The cutest dog coat I’ve ever seen…. I could have climbed in there with her all snug as a bug…I adore this little lady 🥰

23/12/2023

Our scissors are down and taps are turned off for another year and now it’s time to spend our favourite time of year with some of our favourite people.

Thank you to all our amazing customers for this past year, we wouldn’t be where we are without all of you and we really appreciate you all so so much.

Thank you for our lovely gifts and cards this year, we will make a start on working our way through them from this evening. 🍷🍫

As always, we’d like to take this opportunity to remember all the fury friends that have crossed the bridge this year, including Wayne’s parent’s dog Dexter. We’ll never forget you and your paw prints really touched our hearts.

We are now closed until Monday 8th January.

Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year and we look forward to exciting new things that 2024 will bring.

Love always,
Wayne & Dean X

Ps: Please ignore the wonky star on our tree, I’ve really tried but I just can’t get it straight (pardon the pun 😂).

🐾🐾 2024 Diary Open 🐾🐾

As the majority of our customers have been chasing us to book their 2024 dates, we’ve decided to open the 2024 diary early this year.

For anyone who has already given us your dates please leave it with us. We will work our way through them and book them in and send them over to you.

As per previous years, we have started to compile a list of everyone who wants their schedule to continue into 2024. If you wish for us to add you to the list please just drop us a message and we will arrange that for you. We do hold your schedule and preferred days on file but if you wish to change these please let us know.

We have opened the diary for ALL of 2024 (January-December) for those that wish to book.

If you would prefer to book for a few months at a time or 6 months then please let us know.

The same applies as always, if you bulk book for the year and need to change odd appointments for any holidays etc as the year progresses, please give us plenty of notice and we can rejig for you.

SATURDAY APPOINTMENTS:
From January 2024, we have decided to open alternate Saturdays to give us some time back. We completely understand that this will come as a frustration to some but we hope you can understand that finding a work life balance is important for everyone. For the weeks we are closed on the Saturday we will be offering an additional appointment for early mornings/evenings to try and accommodate those who are unable to visit us during the week day. If you currently have a Saturday appointment and are able to attend a week day appointment please let us know and we can move you across. Once the Saturday appointments are gone, they’re gone I’m afraid.

…. and finally, Christmas 2023. Christmas week this year is full and the weeks before have a few spaces left. If you are wanting a December appointment this year and haven’t yet booked then please let us know asap and we will try and accommodate where possible.

Any questions please just let us know.

Love always,
Wayne & Dean 🐾

09/09/2023

🐾🐾 CLOSED FOR ANNUAL LEAVE 🐾🐾

We are now closed from Saturday 9th September 2023 and will reopen on Tuesday 19th September 2023.

We will still have access to messages and enquires during this time, however there will be a delay in our response (no such thing as a day off when you’re self employed lol).

Hopefully we’ll catch the “tail” end of this Indian Summer we’re having (sorry for the horrendous dog dad pun there).

See you all soon.
Wayne & Dean 🐾

22/03/2023

🐾 DIARY OPEN FOR THE REMAINDER OF 2023 🐾

Apologises for the delay to those of you who have been chasing us to bulk book for the rest of 2023.

We have now opened the diary for the remainder of 2023, from July up to December. (Including Christmas week).

For those of you who have bulk booked for the first half of the year please just drop us a message if you wish for us to carry on with your schedule for the rest of the year.

Please bear with us as we compile the list like we did for the start of the year. We will work our way through it and send over your appointments. (Roughly three quarters of our client list bulk book so it takes a while so we do apologise).

Remember if you prefer a certain day or time, we always recommend you book in advance as we can not guarantee that they will be available. As I’m sure you can all imagine, Saturdays are our busiest days and fill up very quickly, so please bear that in mind. It is first come first served I’m afraid.

A little pic of this cute little lad simply because those eyes need the publicity 😂😍

From 8:30am Monday 20th Feb 2023 until 4:30pm Thursday 23rd Feb our road will be closed for tree cutting 🤦🏻‍♂️ South Avenue will be closed from Hamstel Road up to number 335 South Avenue (just past us).

The pathway will still be open for you to walk your dogs to us and we will be open as usual. Please park further up South Avenue or in the surrounding roads (Westbury Road, Lonsdale Road, Central Avenue, Trinity Road).

Please allow extra time when dropping your dogs to us.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Many thanks

Who doesn’t love a puppy?? 🤷🏻‍♂️……. But a Miniature Schnauzer puppy is even more adorable. This little one nearly didn’t get given back.

24/12/2022

As 2022 comes to an end for us at Mr. Pawfect, we would like to wish all our lovely clients a wonderful and magical Christmas. Thank you so so much for all your continued support this year and also into 2023.

Thank you for all our lovely lovely gifts and tips this past month. Especially as we go through this cost of living crisis….. we really do appreciate them all, thank you 🙏🏻 (it’s safe to say New Years Eve is sorted 🍷🍾).

We are so grateful to each and every one of you who choose us to groom your fur babies. We love each and every one of them as if they were our own. (Dean is especially grateful. If it wasn’t for you all, we would have quiet a few more dogs in our household 😂).

We also want to send our thoughts to those of you who lost your babies over rainbow bridge this year. It breaks our hearts when we hear of your loss and we will miss them dearly. We hope your wonderful memories bring a smile to your face over this Christmas period.

We are now closed until 3rd January 2023. Our work phone will be turned off and we’ll be spending time with our friends and families (and our rather smelly boys). You’re welcome to still send messages if you wish and we’ll pick them up in the new year.

Here are a few of your festive pups from this past month.

Merry Christmas 🎄 and a Happy New Year 🥳
Love Wayne & Dean xx 🐾

🐾2023 diary open🥳🐾

We’ve have a lot of you asking when you can bulk book dates in for 2023, so we’ve decided to open next years diary earlier this year for those of you that are super organised.

For those of you on a regular schedule (which is most of our lovely clients) and especially those that like a specific day or time due to work commitments and school runs etc, we do stress that it’s best to get them in the diary asap. Once that appointment is gone, its gone I’m afraid. 🤦🏻‍♂️

We are compiling a list (and gradually working our way through it) of everyone who has already asked us to bulk book for them for 2023. If you want us to add you to the list please message us with your preferred day and time and leave it with us .

Speak soon,

Wayne & Dean 🐾

🐩 PRICE INCREASE - 1st SEPTEMBER 2022 🐩

It is with a heavy heart that we have to increase our prices from 1st September 2022. Since the start of this year, just like everything else in life, our overheads have increased significantly. To help lighten the load for all our lovely clients this year we have held off with any price increase for as long as could and we have taken the hit ourselves, However, for us to continue as a business and to deliver a high level service that we have always done, we have now had to increase our prices.

This has not been an easy decision for us to make so we really hope you can all understand and support our decision.

Please drop us a message if you wish to know your new price before your appointments in September.

Many thanks,
Wayne & Dean 🐾

We really do have the best customers 😍

Casper is one of our regulars and today we had the pleasure of grooming him on his actual birthday….. and he even bought in two doggy party bags for our boys! 😍 honestly, the cutest thing EVER! Thank you so much. They will last two minutes with our boys.

Happy Buuuurrrrrffffffday Casper 🎂

We’re going online!…… and no that doesn’t mean we’ll be grooming your dogs via Zoom

We’ve finally decided to take the plunge and ditch our faithful paper diary and pencil and get an online diary. (You can see how our diary is currently held together by duct tape and it’s only June)!

Please bare with us as we change over across the next few weeks. We’ve got a few late nights ahead of us where we will be uploading all of our client information and grooming notes onto the system and those of you that know Wayne and technology, this is going to be painful for Dean 🤦🏻‍♂️.

What does this mean for you?
🐾 We will be able to block book you quicker.
🐾 Easier access to all your pre booked appointments
🐾 Automatic SMS reminders via the software the day before your appointment
🐾 Email reminders a week before with up to date information and the spa packages on offer. (We won’t be filling your inbox, we promise - we hate junk mail ourselves).

At this present time we have disabled the option for our clients to book online (that’s too much for Wayne to take in at once 😂), but the software does allow this and once we’re comfortable in the 21st Century we will activate this option for you.

Now the coffees made and we’re in for a long night in front of the PC.

See you all on the other side

🐩 Closed for annual leave 🐩

We will be closed for annual leave to celebrate Wayne’s big birthday. We’ll be closed from Saturday 7th May and will reopen Monday 16th May.

Thank you to all our lovely clients who have accommodated us for rejigging your schedules slightly to allow us this time off.

We will have our work phone with us so if you want to call/text and leave a message, we will tap in every so often to pick these up. Please bare with us as there may be a delay in coming back to you.

Have a good week everyone and we’ll see you all soon.

Let’s talk matting!

We just wanted to do a shout out to this amazing client of ours. Back in Summer ‘21 we had to take this little man short due to matting all over his body. His mum loves the long, fluffy, teddy bear cut but wasn’t aware how much maintenance it needed at home and how frequent he would need professional grooming.

You’ll see from the photos the matts in his coat and how he left us after we had to shave him down. On collection we had a long chat with Mum and advised her on how to groom at home, how often he needs to be brushed and combed and the grooming schedule he needs to be on to achieve this look. His Mum listened to every piece of advice we offered and after endless amounts of WhatsApp’s and Instagram messages back and forth, she is absolutely smashing this. Fast forward 9 months, the little lad comes in every 4 weeks completely knot free!!! We cut his coat the same length each time so it’s easier for Mum to maintain at home. He is cut at a length that gives the fluffy look that his family want and that allows him to do things dogs love to do.

It is always a pleasure to see this lad (and have a catch up with Mum of course). Thank you for being such lovely clients and allowing us to post your story.

If anyone is struggling with their dogs coats at home, the best advice we can give is talk to your groomer about the best way to manage their coat and stick with it. Longer coats look amazing but are not easy to maintain at home…..but it is achievable. If you want any help on keeping on top of the coat maintenance, we’re always at the end of the phone if you need us. 😂

….and finally, we completely understand that life is busy, work, kids, family life, housework etc and we know that brushing/combing the dog every day is not a priority and there’s only 24hrs in a day - the best advice we can give to any dog owner is, have a style that suits both your lifestyle and your dogs.

Hope that helps and if anyone wants any further advice please just give us a shout.

Happy brushing 😉
Wayne & Dean x

Just wanted to show how much hair is left on this girl. (Pictures don’t always give it justice). This lady is an Australian Labradoodle who are known to have difficult coats. She was last in 10 weeks ago and came in today with no knots on her at all. Her owners are so dedicated to brushing and combing her through and all their hard work has paid off. We were able to leave a beautiful finish on her because of the amount of effort put in at home. Huge respect to her owners. #australianlabradoodle #teddybear #grooming #dogs #doggrooming #coatmanagement #dogbrushing #dogcombing #southend #southenddogs #woolcoat #essex

When the Echo Newspaper saw some of our grooms online and approached us to do an article…..we wasn’t expecting a 2 page spread. 😱 The article launched online at the weekend and appeared in the paper today. Thank you everyone for your lovely, kind messages, we’re genuinely so touched. Needless to say, Dean won’t be using this paper for the log burner 😂🤦🏻‍♂️ #dog #doggroomer #cutedogs #southenddoggroomer #southend #essex #newspaper #news #echonewspaper #southendecho #newsarticle #smallbusiness #essexbusiness #dogslife #groomersofinstagram #

When a client turns up with the hairiest Austrailian Labradoodle we have ever seen, a little piece of us died inside and we reached for the shortest blades we have (we fully expected matts)…..Well ABSOLUTE credit to her owners, not a single knot or mat on her. Here’s the end result and the before is in our stories. It was a real pleasure to groom her #australianlabradoodle #aussiedoodle #hairydog #homegrooming #doggrooming #brushing #combing #dogscissorcut #dog #southend #essex #doggroomerslife
