Not grooming related bit thought I'd share here.

I have signed myself up to do the 15km Starlight walk 29th June in aid of Prospect Hospice.

In case you didn't know, Prospect are really struggling with funding right now as for many years NHS funding to them has not increased, yet costs have risen leaving at least a 1m shortfall per year. There are talks of them having to close up if they cannot raise donations/funding.

So here I am hoping to help in anyway I can to support a very valued service to many in need.

If you are able to donate, even just £1 that would be amazing and myself and Prospect would be most grateful.

Thanks in advance ☺️

Great local news... just a 2 min walk from me is a new cafe opening 20th March in Berchcroft library, so those that like to drop their dog and pop for a coffee can leave the car by me and I'll even be able to give a loyalty card once I receive them. How fab is this 😍

This lady is amazing. I've had my own Pickles and Chutney made as minis and love them so much.

Ok you may think this is a strange share, recommending another groomer however some dogs require either a different level of grooming or perhaps as an owner you want to learn to groom at home if your dog finds groomers too much.

Woodys is running just the workshop to help.

Good Luck Mr A.

All trimmed and ready for your dog show.

Although as many know it is the law to have a tag on your dog, I still see many dogs without tags and I'm going to start bringing this to attention more so.

The reason for this is today I found a lost dog, she had a collar but no tag. If she'd had a tag i would have instantly been able to contact the owners and get her home but instead I walked her round the nearby shops to see if anybody recognised then some lovely helpers took her to a local vets where she now awaits the dog warden as her chip details are also out of date.

Please Tag your dogs... so many people have dogs and daily I am seeing dogs lost and/or found.

If your dog was lost and someone picked him/her up would you not prefer you were contacted instantly?

If you use a collar and harness, tag both in case.

All you need is contact number and address. Its best to not add their name due to potential dog theft (as they would then know the dogs name)

If this message prompts some to get tagged then I've done my bit. I know if I lost mine I'd want them back ASAP without the need of vets and dog wardens etc

Thank you.

A bit of a sad post.. Today I had this beautiful girlie in, however she has suffered a great loss in her life and has lost her human mummy to cancer.

Her Human daddy is raising money for Breast cancer research and it would be amazing if we could get more donations in as so many women are getting diagnosed and most of us know at least 1 person to have had it.

Please read their story and thanks to anyone that donates.

What a cutie. First big boy hair cut and a weigh in. He was such a brave boy throughout.

31/01/2023

My new toy has arrived..

As part of your pets groom I will be weighing them and keeping note. This will help those that may be over or underweight as well as any general fluctuations in weight change, perhaps down to change of diet or injury etc.

This will save additional trips to vets for a weigh in so potential fuel and time saving for you.

There is no additional costs, this is just an added extra I wanted to offer.

This can take up to 150kg so all my dogs should have no problem being on them.

Ps. Scales are no longer in my kitchen but are ready to go in the salon.

Just in case anyone doesn't know

Please consider when booking your dogs into be groomed in December that you can afford it.. don't forget those birthdays that may also fall in December time.

Every year I get fully booked quickly, however every year I get cancellations and no shows. Due to affordability etc. I totally appreciate that times are hard however this has a knock on effect to all businesses that you book appointments with.

Already this Dec I have lost nearly £200 in cancellations, which I have not been able to refill spaces and its only the 6th.

Hate to have a moan about this as know times are hard but it has to be mentioned.

From 2023 I will implement a deposit for December appointments of half the groom. Which if groom is cancelled will be lost. Details to be confirmed later.

Thank you

Lost: Wilfred the Ty dog
Wilfred did not have collar on when lost today.

It seems he was found on Medina way in stratton on way to Ruskin School and placed on a wall, however we have been down looking and he is no where to be found..

If anyone has seen him it would be amazing to get him back as I have a very sad boy. 😔

The below image was us celebrating Wilfreds 1st birthday and we even had to sing happy birthday so breaks my heart that he's missing.

Thanks in advance

What a lovely idea

And may she rest in peace.. what a life she lead.
A very sad day for many especially all in her family. 😪

I to have a fondness for Corgis, as my nan (dad's side) used to breed them and I loved visiting and walking them. Not yet had one in the Salon though but I do love their cheeky characters.

A quick swap of days due to vets appointment on original groom date and not only do I get lush cuddles but a Choccie as well...

Love my clients.. love my work x

A lovely gesture from one of my clients.. not often it happens but one of her 3 pups is quite old and having a bad few days.. so as always I work with the dog in question making sure I'm as quick as can be whilst keeping them settled and comfortable as its their welfare what means most to me.

Get well soon Izzy xx
