I still have some appointments left for August and I wouldn't want all of your lovely pooches to miss out on appointments.

Hope you all have had a lovely weekend 🐶🏖

Just a courtesy post. 🐶

I will be on holiday from Sept 9th - Oct 1st in New Zealand. 🏖

If you would like to make an appointment before please let me know, as I wouldn't want you to miss out on an appointment before I go on holiday.

Whilst on holiday I will try to respond to messages and keep to time with the UK. However, there will be delays in replies during the time I am away.

Enjoy your weekend 🙂

Yesterday I got to go to Crufts for the 1st time and I loved it!!! Being Gun dog day it was only appropriate my 1st customer of today was a lovely Springer. He's usually nervous but entered today with a wagging tail!! He's such a lovely boy, and had a bath with sc******ng of feathers as a tidy up.
I love getting messages from owners after their groom and updates with pics. 🥰🐶

Hello all,

I am currently updating my diary and putting my holidays into my diary.
This is just a courteous post to all my regular customers to see if they would like to book in? My diary is getting fairly busy so I just wanted to check, so that I could fit in all your lovely pooches in if they needed an appointment?
No pressure, look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks Frankie

🐾🐾 Polite Notice 🐾🐾

Unfortunately due to increased costs of materials, national insurance etc and energy prices I am forced to raise my charges. This will be dependant on each dog and I am more than happy to discuss prices

This boy gives the most kisses and hugs ever. Everyone needs a dog like this in there life or even to brighten their day.

He is also very photogenic!!

He came in originally to see whether he would be ok during his handstrip as he is normall clipped. However, both I and the owner decided that it would stress him out to much so we reverted back to clipping we decided to do this also as he is very well behaved during grooming and we did not want him to hate the process.

25/02/2022

For this groom it was a bath, face tide, outline tidy and nails. I removed the few matts she had mainly around the areas of her harness.

Her coat is making progress in length since her first appointment, and it is almost at the length that myself and the owner feel will be most suitable for her.

25/02/2022

🐾🐾 It was a pleasure to meet one of the sweetest ladies 🐾🐾

She came on for an over due pamper.
She had a 'puppy trim' with a bath and nails.

I will always do my best to make grooming as comfortable as possible for all dogs whether they have medical conditions or not.

25/02/2022

🐾🐾 I had the pleasure of meeting this beautiful pair🐾🐾

One had clip all the same length, with a bath and nails.
The other had a bath, de-shed, outline and foot tidy and nails.

They were such a sweet pair.

25/02/2022

It was time for another pamper for this sweet girl.

She had a bath, clip off with a natural looking face, and her nails done. 🐾

Forever with his tongue out 😛

This boy can brighten up anyone's day

🐾🐾What a Wednesday🐾🐾

I had the pleasure of meeting an amazing pup.
She didn't make a fuss at all with everything that was going on.
Her groom took a little longer than expected, due to the weather! I had a power cut for a while and a family member saved the day with light that I could use.
Luckily the electric came back on near the end of the groom.

14/02/2022

Another full groom for this fluffy cloud!!!

He is such a good boy and yes hair always come out soft.
He had a bath, nails and clip 🐾🐾

10/02/2022

It was time for a bath, clip off and nails.
She jumped straight on to the table and is such a pleasure to groom.

However, no matter how hard I try she's always pulling faces in her pictures. She's also forever wagging her tail.

🐾🐾Newbie alert🐾🐾

Bulldogs are one of my favourite breeds of dogs, and she was a lovely girl.
She was quite nervous of grooming and being bathed buy in the end relaxed into it.

She came in for a bath and de-shed.
It's very important to make sure the creases are dry as this can lead to infection.

I was still finding hair after she left, I was amazed at how much came out.

🐾🐾Newbie alert🐾🐾

I had the pleasure of meeting such a sweet girl.
She is a Romanian rescue and is still quite nervous around groomers.
I took everything at her pace and I got some hugs along the way.
She had a bath, outline trim and a foot tidy.

🐾🐾Newbie alert🐾🐾

Introducing a lovely young king Charles, who is so photogenic and has ticklish feet.
Her owners wanted her to have a shorter coat, buy still fluffy.
I hand scissored the coat the give it a natural look.
I still can't believe how much hair came off

10/02/2022

🐾🐾Newbie alert🐾🐾

I got to meet a lovely lady a few weeks ago.
Her owners still wanted to keep some length in her coat and the natural appearance of her hair.

🐾🐾transformation thursday🐾🐾

I got to meet this sweet girl a few weeks ago. She recently had puppies and they had all left home so it was time for herself to have a pamper.

10/02/2022

This lovely chap returned a few weeks ago for a full groom.
We had a good old sing a long.
He came in for a traditional schnauzer cut but in a short length.

🐾🐾 PUPPY ALERT 🐾🐾

Puppy introductions are so important as they can determine the grooms for the rest of their life.
It is important to make them as stress free as possible, and of course have some play time and cuddles.
I prefer to do them in 3 stages:
1st - discuss grooming techniques to use at home. Let them sniff around and interact with the tools I use. Also get used to being on the table.

2nd- brush through the coat and comb. Let them get used to the sounds of dog grooming e.g. hair dryer, shower, blaster and clippers. If allowed clip their nails.

3rd - gently bath and dry. Also trim nails and pads, clean ears, tidy feet and clip hygiene area.

If more sessions are needed this can be discussed as it can be overwhelming for a puppy.
