A little update on our Doggy Social Salon.

We have moved a few walls to allow for more effiecent use of the space.

No photos at the moment as the floor is being relaid which means we cannot go in to the salon. The new floor is a special non slip substance to be even safer for our staff.

When we come back we will be excited to welcome 6 new clients that signed up this week.

Thank you to all of you that continue to write recommendations on Google and Meta as well as referring people to us from group post.

If you have recent joined our happy pack we would love you to write about your experience.

You are all wonderful and we love that you bring us your beautiful fur babies.

Thank you

Not as hot as some expected but still a challenge for our doggy friends outside or in unventilated rooms.

We are pleased to report that we kept our team and all our wonderful doggy visitors super cool.😎

Thanks

Hot weather advisory note.

Air Con operational.

Just to reassure all of you visiting us in the next week. Today we have maintenance of our Air Con so it is super prepare for the really hot weather for the rest of July and early August.

Although we can make sure your doggy stays cool on the salon we would just like to remind you…

Many of you may want to walk in the sunshine to us. Walking your dog on tarmac or pavements after 8am may be painful for your pup paws so please use a grassy route.

Please offer water to your doggy before you plan to come to us. We will keep a watchful eye and offer water while in the salon.

Based on our experience of previously high temperature we know our air con will cope. This allows us to bathe, fully dry and groom your pooch without risk or need to send home wet. Note, with some doggies, we may need to pause grooming to allow cool down, so please be prepared for a longer wait.

If you have any concerns please drop us a messenger or text. Your pets welfare is our priority and greatest concern.

29/07/2024

It is holiday time for us ⛱️🏝️

From the 12th August to 27th August we are closing the salon to help the team recharge their batteries and have some relaxing time.

We will all miss you and your wonderful doggies.

Between now and the 12th August we are flat out and have very limited ability to move appointments. After 27th August we again are very busy as we catch up on the grooming cycles. Again, it will be very difficult to move appointments in this period. We hope you understand the challenges.

Thank you for all

Attention all Dachshund lovers.

Update on the little fellow still looking for a home (on the left of shot)

We have been made aware of an adoption opportunity for a male dachshund merle under 1 years old.

The owners are struggling with him (he wees inside and suffers some anxiety) unfortunately due to their circumstances and they have made the difficult decision to find an adopter that could help this little chap.

Note: We have not had direct contact with the owners and simply making interested people aware. We can assist in passing detail and will recommend that appropriate adoption processes are followed by both sides.

Thanks

What a DIFFERENCE a teeth cleaning can make.

The results are there for all to see. What you don’t see is the difference in our approach.

2 experienced trained professionals

First the inspection for loose or decaying teeth and inflamed or infected gums, all which can only be attended to by a Vet.

Different doggies act differently.

Our DIFFERENCE of employing a two person approach means your pup is stroked, patted and reassured by one while allowing the other to perform a precise safe operation.

Dental Care is similar to Coat Care in that when used regularly will improve your doggies health and potential SAVE large bills later.

Ask us for more details or send a photo so we can give your some advice and feedback

When you don’t need all that fluff!

We usually show fluffy breeds as they show off our skills and Individual Grooms.

However, we also have some wonderfully cute short coat breeds. And some bring the FULL Monty.

What a handsome boy, Monty

Thank you for visit again.

Believe it or not.

This is a puppy.

Some while ago as part of our puppy grooms we introduced something a little different, our momento card.

Having your puppy introduced to grooming early is a super smart thing to do. Helping them to become comfortable to the experience of grooming is a great support to your pup and help avoid expensive behavioural or specialist grooming cost later.

If you are planing your puppy groom give us a call.

It is sooooo HOT out there

28 degrees in Swindon🌡️🥵

To all our customers visiting today.

Here is how we are doing in our Doggy Social Salon.

Reception is at 21 degrees

Our air conditioning units at set for 19 degrees, so are working full time

Our Doggy pens are at 20.8 with slight high humidity due to our guesses little pants.

To help we are using more towel drying to limit blaster/hair dry use. We are taking more time so as to not heat your pet unnecessarily and there is plenty of cool water for pups when resting in the pens.

Good news we are all within safe limits and still able to deliver our grooms to our high standard.

We are all so glad we made the investment in Air Con so we can operate as usual in the unusual weather.

Enjoy

Aggie

This week things will be hotting up!

But not for us at LMG. Last year we decided not to take more wages and put some of our profit back into to the business installing professional air conditioning.

This year we have installed temperature gauges in our pens to be even more safe.

We will be the coolest place in town for your pups.

If you are planning to enjoy the sunshine and walk your doggy to us we ask that you take care. Your pup doesn’t have shoes, a hat or sunscreen so the walk could be a little more uncomfortable for them.

Looking forward to a warm reception but in a cool place.

Aggie

Here are some useful guides

Here are some steps recommended by the RSPCA that you can take to ensure your dog stays cool during the summer months.

* Never leave dogs in hot cars, conservatories, outbuildings or caravans on a warm day (even if only for a short while). When it's 22°C outside, temperatures can quickly rise to 47°C (117°F) in these environments, which can be fatal.�
* Use pet-safe sun cream on exposed parts of your pet's skin, such as the tips of their ears and nose, to avoid sunburn. This is especially important if your dog has white or light-coloured fur, as they can be very vulnerable to getting burnt. If you're unsure which is the right product to use, please ask your vet.�
* Ensure pets always have access to shade and fresh drinking water to help keep them cool.�
* Check every day for flystrike - this can be fatal.�
* Put ice cubes into your dog's water bowl or make some tasty ice cube treats. You could also freeze a kong with treats and water! LMG comment - Please be careful not to over do this and if your doggy is suffering heatstroke, COOL water and towels are required, not ice.�
* Give your pet damp towels to lie on (never place a damp towel over your dog as this can trap in heat) or an ice pack wrapped in a towel. Both simple methods could provide welcome relief from the heat�
* If you're planning a day out with your dog, check before leaving home whether dogs are allowed. If they're not, arrange a pet-sitter or choose another, dog-friendly attraction.�
* Groom them regularly - regular grooming in warmer weather can help brush away any dead or excess hair, leaving your dog with a less dense coat - much better for staying cool!�
* Dogs may also appreciate a paddling pool to splash around in, although not all dogs like water, so there's no need to force them if they don't want to!�
Take a look at one of the dogs in our care enjoying a dip in the water...

Stop Press

This cute little girl is looking for her forever home.

This is an unusual situation and our heart went out to this sweet girl called Polly

The guardian is a Pomeranian breeder specialising in teacup poms. Unfortunately, their current doggies have not received little Polly very well and are making things difficult for her.

After some attempts to settle things the guardian has decided that is in the best interest of the Polly to find a new loving home.

We have groomed Polly and did consider offering her a home with us but with a Bichon and 2 newly arrived Ragdolls we decide it would not be right for Polly or them.

Polly is 7 months old and as cute as can be. The photos show how small she is which rare and sort after. Polly is of Russian decent and is of a pedigree blood line.

All vaccinations, veterinarian stamp and travel passport will be supplied.

Being rare, cute and of good breeding the cost is £4000.

To be clear we are not selling this puppy and have no interest financially in the sale. Nor can we vouch for the pedigree or breeding.

We understand that as Polly is so special the guardians cannot just give her away and so we are just trying to help Polly find a good home.

If you are interested please message us and we will put you in touch with guardian.

Some good news for all us pet owners

Over the past years we have all heard many reports of pets being stolen with not much being done to stop it about.

The government has recognised the need to add more weight to deterring this horrible crime.

03/06/2024

Dog Grooming is an unregulated industry!

Most animal based industries such as dog walker and dog boarders Do need a license. A Dog Groomers does not need a license, certificate or even prove they are trained.

This means you need to do your research as anyone can start a dog grooming business with just a pair of scissors, clippers and a table.

As your pooch’s guardian you will need to decide who has the necessary skill, knowledge, cerification, environment and reputation/recommendations that is right for your pup.

Fortunately, the majority of people in the industry, like LoveMyGroomer, are passionate about dogs, their wellbeing and have taken appropriate training and continual learning.

In our case, we see great value with training done on, an in person, Classroom, hands on basis. We do use online courses for update and testing our team’s knowledge. And, like Vets we proudly display our team’s industry certificates, for your information and review.

Here is the latest certification we have achieved through our memebership of B**A (British Isles Grooming Association)

Being a dog groomer is more than just a bath, dry, clip and cut.

Not for the squeamish…😱

As groomers we talk a lot about the health of your doggy’s coat. The need for regular grooming sessions to reduce mats, improve air flow and skin quality. All sensible stuff.

The same is true for your pups teeth. Just like your own teeth they need regular brushing to reduce the build up and keep gums healthy.

We recommend that you do consider brushing your doggy’s teeth yourself🦷

If you do need help we offer a great service. 🪥

We are please to say that many of our clients now book our Brilliant Ultra Sonic a fully teeth cleaning treatment, followed by brushing every groom to ensure health teeth, gums and breath.

The difference with our service is, our approach.

No groomer is qualified to use anaesthetic which allows a vet to work on a relaxed pet, without concern of sudden movement or reaction.

This is why we use two trained personnel to deliver the treatment in a safe, relaxing and professional manner.

Note: Not all results shown can be guaranteed in one session. We do achieve Brilliant results but we will not attend doggies that clearly have infection, loose teeth or decay and will advise you to attend a vet.

Our recommendation is to start teeth cleaning early in your pets development.

Have their teeth look as good as their grooms with LoveMyGroomer Ltd

This needs to stop!

About a week ago we wrote about our policy on doggies attending the salon drunk.

Our team out well trained and have certification in doggy behaviour on the best way to work with your pup.

Drunks dogs are not allowed.

PS. We are now fully booked for the next month and most of July. If you are a regular client do not worry we will work with you to find a suitable groom time.

We can only take new clients as existing clients have to leave us.

We have been experiencing a high demand from new clients hoping to join us.

Our priority is always to help our existing clients that are on regular grooming cycles (NOTE: this does not apply to short coat breeds or big dogs)

A few appointment times are held back to allow regular clients the flexibility to move things , and onboard a few new clients each month.

If you are NOT on a regular grooming cycle please be aware that we are now booing from mid June and into July for Saturdays. We do not want to disappoint but we may not be able to groom your pooch when you need it.

As many of you may know we have been enjoying a relaxing holiday over the last week.

We did leave the team with clear instructions on how to manage things while we were away. Unfortunately, we didn’t consider this situation.

It is our policy not to groom doggies that attend their grooming session while drunk.

We are a Doggy Social Salon, not a Doggy Social Saloon

A bit of fun.

21/05/2024

Our Doggy Social Salon is a pretty busy place.

However, we still make sure that we find the time, to take our time, to deliver the results to you time after time.

Sometimes that means more time than we expected as in the case of Loki.

Loki has one of those coats that can become tangled and knotted even with his owner booking extra brushing sessions between grooms.

Thank you for noticing the extra care and attention the team took to make Loki look his best.

Doggy Social Salon.

Not for everyone!

As experienced groomers we see a lot of different personalities and behaviours. What we realised many years ago is that no matter how you set-up your salon, doggies can love it or not.

We determined that even with a well designed model we could not be bold enough to claim it would suit all behaviours and challenges.

We have had great success with challenging pups and in truth some not so much.

We decided to offer a different Doggy Social Salon environment which we have found supports both friendly and nervous doggies together. A friendly face so to speak.🐶
