Harley & Grace ❤️

The poodle family has grown ! This makes 6 standard poodles from the same family. These two are just beautiful and it’s an absolute treat to be able to be a part of their grooming journey from the beginning.

I believe the breeder still has two available if anyone is as tempted as I am! ❤️

🚨 Please Read 🚨

I would really appreciate it if you could take time to read this. I will also be messaging clients individually who aren’t on social media.

Since setting up this business I have always had a clear indication of how I want to serve my clients. I have clients who travel from as far as Milton Keynes, Bedford, Hertford, Hoddesdon and as as close as Buntingford and Sandon. I take pride knowing people come from far to have me groom their dogs, I take that privilege seriously and these changes are necessary to prevent me heading to burn out. I want to ensure I continue to give my best service possible, I have noticed I have gotten too busy and things such as replying to messages have been hard to keep ontop of after a long day of grooming. I have my little one to come home to ❤️

I am reducing to 4 working days to ensure I am able to catch up on my admin and messages. If I am to be here for a long time to groom your dogs I need to look after myself too!

This naturally may mean I need to say goodbye to some faces if this new plan doesn’t suit your diary and I will completely understand. It needs to work for everyone involved and I appreciate you may struggle to keep to my schedule. If you’re worried just reach out.

Thank you for being amazing as always ! I can’t believe the business has got to this stage so quickly and I am so thankful and grateful.

Willis 🥹 adorable boys before and after.

Willis came for a groom & teeth clean and was an angel for both. If you’d like more information on the emmi-pet teeth cleaning service I’m more than happy to advise. I’ve been offering this service for years now but have recently done extended training and have a real respect and passion for the Emmi-pet. Did you know 85% of dogs have dental health issues before the age of 3 ? This mostly relates to poor diet or poor dental hygiene. To get the benefit of this a deep clean followed by regular maintenance sessions is required but trust me you’ll be glad you did it. This service is fairly new and we hope to see a massive decline in dogs in their elderly years needing teeth extracting, large tartar build up and bad breath. To avoid putting an elderly dog through surgery to remove rotten teeth is much more avoidable if kept clean and healthy throughout their lifetime.

If you want some more information about how to add this to your dogs grooming routine please just ask ! 🦷🪥

Absolutely heartbreaking, this poor family are experiencing the unimaginable, and a much loved Hertfordshire dog groomer has been taken in such a cruel way. Rest in peace Louise, Hannah and Carol 🕊️🤍 May your family and friends find justice and peace

Our hearts go out to a fellow groomer who was taken far too soon in the awful murders of Louise, her sister and mum also.

Let’s remember her in the industry and all the love and care she would have given to the dogs just like us.
Dog groomers are one of a kind and we are such a small community it’s hard to hear this happen to one of us.
Louise your legacy will live on through dog groomers 💕🫶🏻

We are all thinking of her family and friends at this sad time

A sad goodbye for now Cooper 🥹

Cooper is off on a new adventure in the USA with his family 🇺🇸 I will miss my grooms with this little man but wish his family luck with their move and can’t wait to see how he’s settled in.

Cooper is rocking a new bow, which are available in my new dog grooming kits! I think they suit him 🥰

Good luck little man !

Would you like a sneak peak ?

The first mini kit to be launched this month will be the Ultimate De-Matt Kit. This is your go to kit to tackle those stubborn areas on your thick coated dogs (especially the doodles!). The double sided slicker brush is one I use daily in the salon to target the areas that easily matt, such as the ears and tail. Paired with the banish spray, to help condition the coat to prevent breakage which causes more matting in future. Break the cycle and tackle the small knots before they turn to matts! Your groomer (probably me) will thank you.

Please note these tools are be used with caution and not suitable for every dog, please feel free to ask me if this kit will be suitable for your dog !

Limited availability. Full kits will also be launched too so keep an eye out 👀 these will include everything you need to bath & brush at home!

To reserve yours please message 🥰

I am back and well and truly back in the swing of things ! 27 dogs to groom this week, I don’t do things in halves 🙈

Just to keep everyone up to date, I am at a stage where I really need clients on schedule to have two in advance to avoid disappointment. I’ve put a temporary pause on new clients now, but I’ve sadly had a few elderly dogs pass so I will reassess this over the next few weeks and see if more space becomes available. Rest in peace Purdy, Shiela, Olive & Hetty 🌈❤️

You may also see a new face at some appointments, Lauren will be helping me to bath & dry initially with the intention to learn to become a groomer in the long term. Please know that all dogs will be still groomed by me and she is just learning the basics of the bath & dry process to help ease my load at the moment, if this is to ever change you will always be informed/ consulted individually. At the moment I’m just happy to have some company and hopefully be a bit more ontop of admin !

Thank you everyone & see you all soon ☺️

It’s poodle week! Nearly 3 down and 2 more to go on Wednesday. It’s also the Easter holidays still so life feels busy juggling life and work. I’m also fully booked until the week of the 17th June 🤯

I’m a bit tired but very grateful, you keep me busy and I love where the business has taken me. Am I mad to be planning more exciting things ? Probably 🙈😂

Celebrating how far Nancy the Lakeland puppy has come 👏🏻💖

Nancy came to me for her puppy groom a few months back now and she was fearful of being brushed and handled, and in true terrier style was happy to tell us this 🙈

I want to say thank you to Nancys mum for working with me to bring her around slowly through broken down sessions. We are still building up to being able to do a full groom in one whole appointment but I can see that coming together within a few more sessions.

Nancy is the perfect example of how it really pays to work with the individual dog and figure out their needs, to work towards a goal together. This would never have worked if her owner hadn’t have done the training at home and taken on my advise. I love working with owners and dogs like this, I feel so proud of Nancy !

💅 Parker’s fresh set of nails.

Keeping your dogs nails short is super important for their overall health and wellbeing. Long nails not only have a higher risk of breaking and splitting causing pain, they also put pressure on joints in the foot / legs and can cause long term issues and pain. I find dogs nails grow at different rates and also how your dogs walk / where they walk can influence how quickly and how long they grow. I’m happy to work out how often it will take to keep them maintained at a good healthy length. I offer these nail trim services as a separate appointment you do not have to wait for their grooming appointments if you find they need them trimming more often.

Do your dogs nails touch the floor when the dog is standing up? If yes it’s highly likely your dog needs a nail trim !

Sleepy Kimmy 💤

It’s definitely shedding season ! I have a 1hr appointment free next week perfect for a de-shedding session. If you’d like to reduce some of your dogs excess fluff and can make the 3rd April at 10.15am please message me to book 🐾

Barney would like to remind everyone that I only have a handful of appointments at the end of April / first week of May left 😱 I am then away for 2 weeks and booked up until the week of the 17th June. I am working longer days / more days because I have the two weeks booked off, and I physically cannot add any more appointments than what is left available. Thank you for keeping me so busy!! ❤️

I have had the pleasure of grooming this lovely girl, she is unique and such a kind soul ❤️

I’ve been really bad at posting photos so here are some of your lovely pups (who you’ve likely seen on my stories). They needed a place on the grid as too cute not to 💖

Could you help? ☺️🙏🏻

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE THAT HAS OFFERED HENRY A HOME.
He has been offered a fantastic permanent foster for as long as he needs, he will have 6 acres to explore and 3 doggy friends , we’re going for a meeting on Friday to make sure everyone gets along .

I have had some sad news today, the vet has told me that Henry’s tumour is a very aggressive one, even though he’s had it removed there is a strong possibility that it may return or possibly have spread.
So the next stage of his life is crucial, it may only be for a couple of months , I want to find him a loving home local to me ( Buntingford Herts) so that if he needs any treatment he can go to my vet, I will pay for any treatment that he needs going forward and for his food as he eats a lot! He loves to go on walks and sniff every blade of grass!
It would be lovely if he could have days at the beach and walks in the woods , do you think you could open up your home and your heart to this lovely boy to make his last days his best ones?
If so please send me a pm.

Puppy love ❤️

Thank you to the lovely ladies at for always recommending me to your lovely customers. I’ve had the opportunity to meet a lot of fab dog owners from Hertford, and I can now add adorable Ivy to this list. She was the sweetest girl and I can’t wait to watch her grow 💖

I always love how smart Ted looks after his groom. Looks like a little gentleman now ☺️

Never fails to amaze me the gaps between their little bones at 7 weeks .. all this needs to knit together yet .. which is why we don't over exercise growing puppies and why they have the clumsy puppy movement 🤣🥰
Xrays taken by our expert team vet Mark, no sedation required, yes he's really that good!! Absolutely blessed to have him on our team 🙏 ❤️

Today myself & my girls tried out a brand new sport… something I wouldn’t ever have thought I’d have the confidence to do, nor ever thought it was something suitable for a Maltese or Miniature Pinscher. Well how wrong was I? I’m honestly blown away with how much we all enjoyed our introduction to Mantrailing with

This sport really is for any dog, no matter the breed or temperament. Your dog is fearful of dogs ? It’s one dog at a time so they get a chance to really work without distractions or stress. Fearful of new people ? No problem Miranda tailors the session to make sure the dog isn’t overwhelmed and can do things on their terms.

This is my honest review of a session that I’ve come away feeling so excited from, eager to continue bonding with my girls and seeing them thrive doing something they absolutely loved. Please if you are thinking of taking up something with your dog speak to Miranda - she will fill you with confidence and enthusiasm and make you excited to spend the time with your dog! Please take my advice and try the intro session & inundate Miranda with requests so she has no choice but to add more sessions each week 😂🙏🏻 thank you Miranda !

Update for bookings ✨

As you may be aware I am now in an amazing position to be so busy, and this business is really coming together to be exactly how I imagined it to be ❤️

I have been contemplating closing my books to control demand, but instead I have come to the decision to only accept certain breeds who pre-book on a recommended schedule. This includes dogs who need a cut and style. I am one to one so appointments are more limited in general and now super busy, so I really do not have the time to be squeezing in dogs who we know need their regular grooms. I will not be holding spaces nor chasing clients who I may or may not have noticed haven’t rebooked as I have been doing, as I want to reduce my admin time and be as fair as possible to new clients who are committed to their dogs grooming routine - and I will always keep clients who work with me on this a priority!

As you may be aware I have a 5 year old daughter who needs me to be present and a huge part of that is keeping on-top of my diary and not working too many hours and not having to do too much admin when at home.

Thank you all for supporting my business, I love what I do and feel so grateful to be doing what I love each day and supporting my family at the same time ❤️

Did you know it’s Pet Dental Health Awareness month?

I received this message and had to share it, this is such a huge compliment from Hermans vet! Ultrasonic teeth cleaning is a fairly new concept and is an amazing new addition for us dog groomers to help your dog with their health. Not only do we have the ability to help with their skin & coat but now also their oral health. I preach that prevention is always better than cure, and you’re now able to prevent unnecessary health issues with your dog by introducing teeth cleaning to their grooming routine.

🦷Did you know dental hygiene accounts for 75% or more health problems in dogs including kidney failure ?

Let’s change the old way of looking at your dogs dental hygiene, instead of waiting until their teeth are in such poor condition they need to removed. Let’s start making sure your dogs teeth are kept clean throughout their lifetime, not just when they get to an unmanageable state.

If you’d like more information and would like to start incorporating this into your dogs grooming sessions please message me 💬
