Ultrasonic Teeth Cleaning at Buddy & Beau Dog Grooming

The ultrasonic toothbrush works completely silently and vibrationless, causing no unnecessary stress to your dog.

Tartar build-up is the most common cause of tooth and gum disease in dogs. When your dog eats, saliva and bacteria form a clear, sticky film over their teeth; this is plaque. If plaque isn't brushed away, it turns into a hard, brown substance called tartar.

Ultrasound removes bacteria, reduces inflammation, and improves blood and lymphatic flow to the gums.

Regular brushing is an effective way to keep the mouth, gums and teeth healthy, avoid expensive vet costs and the requirement of an anaesthetic and include a teeth clean as part of your dog's next groom.

If you would like any further information or costs, please email me [email protected]

Many thanks, Sue 🐾❤️🐕

The Relationship between the Dog Groomer and the Dog 🐾❤️

The bond shared between a dog groomer and their furry clients is one of trust, care, and affection. The groomer is responsible for the dog's appearance and hygiene, and in turn, the dog offers love and loyalty to the groomer. It can be a lovely connection that goes beyond just a professional service.

The grooming studio can be a daunting experience if the dog hasn't been professionally groomed before; dogs can be stressed by noise and movement, and within the grooming process, you have the sound and sensation of the shower in the bath, the noise and movement of the dryers, vibration and feeling of clippers and scissors.

Our job as groomers is to make the grooming experience calm and happy. As I groom at home, I always start by giving the dog a little sniff around the garden; most dogs arrive by car, which can be stressful for the dog, as both noise and movement, but with a little sniff and a p*e up or under the lavender and all is forgotten and they happily trot into the studio.

Grooming should be a lovely experience for dogs; they are massaged in the bath, brushing carried out correctly is good for their coat, and dogs generally love the attention. Groomers talk to the dogs and make a fuss of them; it's all about them!

Many groomers will offer a puppy package; this is a great grooming introduction for your pup! Once the pup has had its vaccinations, they can sign up; the first groom is usually a meet-and-treat, a sniff around the studio, training on standing on the grooming table and a brush through, a warm bubble bath, gently dry and dependant on the breed a face and sanitary tidy. At 12-16 weeks, it's also an excellent opportunity for their first nail clip; they are like, what doing, what doing with my nails... clip clip clip and done!

An older dog may have never had a professional groom, or the owner is changing groomers. I love a meet-and-treat; it's an excellent opportunity to speak to the owner about the grooming requirements, the dog's behaviours, and any anxiety or previous bad experiences. The more information the groomer can obtain, the better the grooming process.

Groomers also have to manage and understand separation anxiety, and this has been especially prevalent since COVID-19 times; with many dog owners still working from home, their dogs are rarely alone and can often find it difficult being away from their owners. However, once the relationship between the groomer and dog has grown, this fades, and dogs settle quickly into the grooming process.

We always start with a basic health check and get to know your dogs and all their lumps and bumps, and we notice changes such as skin issues, stinky ears, runny eyes, stiff joints, and bad teeth. We are not vets, but we can highlight anything that has changed.

One of the hardest parts of being a groomer is when the dogs you have groomed and cared for over the years pass over the rainbow bridge; we are genuinely sad and heartbroken.

But the happiest part is the dog arriving, being excited to see you, then leaving all floofed, looking lovely, and so excited to see their owners and show off their new haircut!

Bathing your dog at home can be daunting, but it can be the most essential part of the grooming process.

Always brush through your dog's coat to remove tangles or knotty areas; once wet, they will become tighter and pull on the dog's skin when dry. The water temperature should be lukewarm, around 30/35 degrees, too warm, and the dog could overheat.

If you are bathing your dog in the bath or a shower, putting a rubber mat down is a good idea so they don't slip or scratch your bath. Before you put your dog in the bath, prepare your shampoo; always read the label and follow the dilution rates; don't use human shampoo on dogs due to a difference in the skin's pH balance; canine skin is thinner and prone to drying. Dilute and mix your shampoo in a large jug or plastic bottle, as it's much easier to disperse over the body than a blob of shampoo directly on the coat.

Wet your dog's coat with a shower head or jug of water; I recommend starting at the bottom of the neck or top of the tail, leaving the head and face until the end, as once you get this area wet, they will start to shake!
Keep the shower head close to the body; dogs generally don't like the feeling of rain or water pouring on them.

Using your shampoo, lather your dog's coat, starting from the neck and working your way down the body and legs; with the paws, I find a sponge gets those cheesy little paws clean. With the head, face, and ears again, keep the shower head close and avoid getting water or shampoo in the dog's eyes, ears and nose.

Rinse your dog thoroughly with warm water, ensuring all the shampoo is removed. Use a towel; I find absorbent ones very effective to dry your dog's coat, starting with the head and working your way down to the tail.

Once towel dried, brush through thoroughly; if you use a dryer, ensure they are drip-dry and keep the dryer on a low setting. Removing excess water before drying reduces the risk of overheating when the water heats up, reduces the risk of steam building up, reduces scalding, and reduces the time with artificial heat, reducing the risk of drying out the skin.

Remember to praise and reward your dog for good behaviour during the bath. Bathing your dog can help keep their coat and skin clean and healthy.

What’s it like grooming for a living 🐾✂️🐕

A client asked me if it was like going to work as a groomer! Loving dogs all day doesn't seem like working.

I wasn't offended by this comment, but let me tell you, grooming is bloody hard work; it's physically demanding on the body, lifting dogs into the bath, transferring to the table and constantly using your upper body; at the end of the day you are dirty and covered in hair, and it can be mentally draining, you can't wander off and scroll through Facebook, you have the responsibility of this little life in your care, constantly ensuring health & safety is practised at all times, following the brief or guidelines for the grooming requirements, encouraging the dog to stand correctly to be groomed efficiently.

As groomers, we also have doggy clients with anxiety or behavioural problems, which we have to factor in while grooming to ensure the groom can be carried out safely for the dog and ourselves.

After grooming, we have to clean the studio, give the bath a good scrub, sweep up the hair and hoover, clean the floor and wipe the tables. The clipper blades and scissors require cleaning and oiling to be ready for the next day; brushes require hair removal and washing.

Groomers then have to reply to any voice, text, WhatsApp, or FB messages, confirm any bookings online, supply information to prospective clients, and check all record cards updated by the day's grooms.

Many groomers work for themselves, so the sales and marketing also sit on your shoulders, so evenings are spent on social media and email campaigns.

But at the end of the day, we get to spend time with and love dogs all day! ❤️🥰

GROOMING THE DOUBLE COAT (Breeds such as Golden Retrievers, Labradors, German Shepherds, Pomeranians and Newfoundlands)

I would always start by assessing the coat for mats, tangles and dead undercoat or wadding. Matts and tangles would need to be removed by a de-matting tool, then the dead undercoat and wadding with a rake.

Though I have been grooming for six years, I am still surprised at how much undercoat I can remove from a German Shepherd or Labrador, for example. There are various ways to remove the undercoat, massage, undercoat rake, and brush. Using an undercoat rake, working in the direction of the dog's coat, removes unwanted, dead hair. Then, gently massage a rubber mitt or pad and brush out using a pin, bobble, or slicker brush.

As a dog groomer, I love seeing a well-groomed dog; they are lovely to look at, and regular grooming also has significant health benefits.

Giving your dog a good brush stimulates blood flow, which helps to remove toxins and dead coat to optimise body temperature control and make way for that lovely new coat growth. Knots and matted areas can be uncomfortable for the dog, so removing these helps prevent skin trauma and disease and separates individual hairs so that the coat (and the dog) can move freely.

Except for a few dogs, it is usual for a dog to have two hair structures that make up its coat. The course hairs, called the top coat, make up the outer covering and provide weather resistance (guard hairs). The finer downy hairs, called the undercoat, lie underneath and provide insulation.

Groomers categorise dogs under one of five different 'coat types' according to the coat's structure, behaviour and grooming requirements. These are wire, smooth, silk, double and wool.

His lovely new owner is maintaining his coat at home and though he had a big coat to work through he was as good as gold 🌟

We love his smiley face ❤️🐾

Don't shoot the groomer; have you ever picked up your dog from the groomer and you don't recognise it due to a short haircut? If your dog is severely matted, the kindest thing for your dog's welfare is to clip the dog's coat down short to remove the matting. Once the groomer has assessed the coat and decided that a clip-off is required, you will be advised so it's not a shock on collection.

Groomers don't like shaving dogs down; dogs' coats can change, and dogs can experience behavioural changes for a short time. Owners are usually upset and frustrated with themselves for not brushing correctly.

So, how do you prevent your dogs from getting matted? Brushing and combing correctly and regularly throughout the week is essential. Build a good relationship with your groomer, follow the advice, and ensure you are scheduled in the groomer's diary. Also, have your dog styled to a length that suits the dog and your lifestyle.

Model 🐾 Wilf, who is on a 6 week grooming schedule ✂️ we keep his coat in a soft teddy bear style but fairly short so easier to maintain in between grooms ❤️⭐️

A little about the Border Terrier: It is a working terrier but adapted to family life. The Borders of Northumberland and Scotland named the breed around 1880 after being used as the earth dog with the Border Foxhounds.

With a wire coat, the correct grooming procedure is carding and hand-striping.

Carding is a natural technique to remove the undercoat using an undercoat rake and pumice stone. Hand-stripping is a technique in which the outer guard coat is plucked from the dog's skin. This procedure helps to retain the natural texture and colour of the coat.

I find hand-stripping very therapeutic and find dogs completely relaxed and often fall asleep through the process as you can see with Freddie & Archie ❤️
