Hi everyone, I’m a bit overwhelmed with messages at the minute so I am actively trying to go through them all so please be patient and I will get back to you asap! I also had Covid and had to rearrange lots of grooms which was complicated 😰🙈

Thank you

Good morning, I just wanted to thank everyone again for their amazing support and messages. It’s been so overwhelming, as I didn’t expect it!

I am in the process of working out changes I need to make to carry on grooming, as I will of course carry on, as it’s so important to me.

Thank you all for the offers to make a go fund me page. At this time, I will not be going ahead with getting the license, as it will be too complicated for me to understand the rules and regulations and cope with the stress and with everything that comes along with it. I also don’t need it, as of course I am a groomer only.

I will have to change how i run my business and have less dogs in at a time and in a day, which is so sad, as having the dogs socialise and have time to rest in between their sessions, was something I found so important for the dogs welfare and happiness, but I am being accused of not having the dogs welfare and safety as a priority, which is absolutely not the case.

I will have to spread appointments throughout the day, so everyone who has booked in with me for future appointments, I will be in touch to change drop off and collection times etc

I am so sorry that I cannot provide the services I have done for so long, all because someone has it in for me and reported me for something that isn’t even true 💔

I hope this message makes sense. Please bare with me as it will take me some time to work out how I need to do things moving forward, as I struggle incredibly with change in routine etc

All I wanted to do was work with my dogs and enjoy their company and them mine, having them be happy and relaxed whilst they were with me. My social media videos will also be changing, as apparently that is what started all this.

I will get back to everyone who has contacted me over the weekend as soon as I can.

Thank you for reading.

Thank you to everyone for your amazing support. I am overwhelmed right now with everything but I will reply to everyone soon 🩷

I’ve had the council here today, someone has reported me time and time again saying that I am day boarding. Someone has sent one of my videos to them as ‘proof’ even though I am not day boarding but providing a dog grooming services where dogs get time to socialise and play and actually enjoy their experience.

I understand dogs are here for a certain amount of hours but it is not day boarding as they all get groomed here.

So I’m either being forced to pay £500 to get a day boarding licence or I have to stop providing the service I do.

The latter option is likely my only choice here as I don’t have that kind of money.

To say I am devastated is an understatement as I love how I do things and so do the dogs.

I will be in touch with everyone individually when I have worked out how I am going to do things from now on as the times will have to change and no more socialising.

I am so sorry 😔 whoever has done this should be ashamed as I am not doing anything to upset anyone or to bother anyone. I am autistic and struggle daily with anxiety and depression, this has now tipped me over the edge so I hope that whoever you are, that you’re happy.

This job is my happy place, this job saves me and this will affect me and how I live my life.

I asked before I started this business if I needed a licence and explained how i would run things but someone who is out to get me has made this happen today.

Prices vary due to size differences in breeds and weight which is a new thing I have had to bring in because some dogs are booked as a certain breed but upon arrival they are much larger or heavier which means more work and time taken 😢

If your dog comes regularly between 4-10 weeks the prices would be at the lower end.

I understand everything in life is so expensive right now and upping my prices will upset some people but I am upping my staffs pay and I’ve had to do this for my business. I hope you’ll understand 💚
