Not grooming related but thought this might be of interest to some of you. Another 'hat' I wear is as Breed Health Co-ordinator for the Royal Kennel Club. I have just been informed of a free webinar on Heart Disease in dogs. It's on Wednesday 12th Feb 7pm to 8.30pm. The link to register is here:

There's nothing more satisfying than a handstrip on a well grown out coat. All smart and tidy again

Don't think Jess has been featured on the page before but she's been coming for 4yrs now with her buddy Maddie (mad by name mad by nature ;) 😂)
All smart and tidy again now girls

Wish I'd taken a before photo today but I love giving Shae her Poodle face back again. Had 2 Standard Poodles in today and a Poodle cross - poor planning on my behalf 😂 (good job they were all super well behaved). Off to run a hot bath now ;)

Just finished a great puppy intro with little Dolly, happy with a little face/feet trim as well as her first bath/blow dry. Added the selfie out-takes for a bit of realism in how photos usually go 😂

Can't remember if Ted has been shared on here previously but he's such a poser and got this pic first time. All smart for Santa-paws

Smart little man had a bath & tidy all ready for Santa-paws
(coat halfway between strips, will be stripped fully in spring)

He wouldn't keep his tail still for the photo but I made a little teddy bear for his owner for Christmas yesterday

The page has been quiet of photos just lately as I'm always so busy during the week to take them. Something a little different is Teady the Chinese Crested Powderpuff who belongs to a friend of mine and is a retired show dog. His owner let's me have creative fun with his groom so he got turned into a poodle, SO cute!

Had a lovely first visit from the very handsome Charlie today who came in for a bath/dry and trim. Look forward to seeing you again next time

Back at work after Easter, clocks have changed and we've definitely entered into 'get rid of winter fluff' season. Bramble had a bit of a transformation today so had to get a before/after photo ;) Love grooms like this, so satisfying

Important price increase notification for all customers:

As of 5th April 2024 there will be an increase of £3 per dog for all full grooms.

I have kept my prices the same for the past 3 years but like many other similar businesses can no longer absorb the increased cost of materials, equipment and utilities.

Many thanks for your understanding and continued support.

Kind Regards
Helen

Had to take this photo of Stevie the Border Terrier during his hand strip this morning. He used the pile of hair as a cushion and went to sleep with frogs legs

Little Dotty the Cockapoo puppy came for her first groom today. Look forward to snuggles again next time x

A warm welcome to Blue the Standard Poodle who came for his first groom with me today. I'm just a little bit in love with him
