Roadworks / road closure 🚫

Just a heads up, there are roadworks on Ringmead until midnight 22nd Aug, on the main road by the green here. As we speak, there is partial road closure in place, preventing vehicular access to our road, please allow extra time as this may affect your journey for the next few days.

I am told that the Sainsburys end is unaffected so at the moment, access to Ringmead is advisable via the Bagshot Road, avoiding the Mill Lane Roundabout end.

So not only was it Milo's birthday today, but he got to spend some of it doing what he enjoys best - wallowing in the bath 😆🛁. Not only this, but his confidence with the grooming process on the whole has come on in leaps and bounds, you would not have believed this was the same dog a year ago! Happy Birthday Milo! 🥳 🐾

Hi all, I am doing my best to keep up with appointment requests, however i am also still getting some very last minute cancellations / requests to reschedule, which has unfortunately meant its been too late to offer these much-needed slots to anyone else 🙃

As i am getting quite busy, please try to book ahead if you can (if you know your schedule, its often easier to book from one appointment to the next, upon collection of your pet) but also just a polite reminder that i operate a 48 hour cancellation policy (I will pin this to this page).

I understand the world is a hectic place right now, but as a one-to-one service provider i am also unable to absorb the costs of lost appointments through no fault of my own. Thank you in advance, Cheryl 🐾

*CANCELLATION POLICY*

Dear Client;

Cancellation terms are as follows;

- 50% of the grooming fee is payable at less than 48 hours (2 working days*) notice

- 75% is payable at less than 24 hours (1 working day's notice*)

(*Excluding Sundays & Bank Hols)

I understand that sometimes the unforseeable can happen, but please do give me as much notice as possible if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. As a one to one service provider, this minimises disruption & loss of business, meaning the service can still be offered to others in need also.

I look forward to seeing you soon.

Kind regards, Cheryl @ Paws Truly 🐾

Tick season is in full swing! This lil beastie was embedded in the throat area of this Cockapoo. Luckily this girl is not only groomed regularly but was having her shorter summer haircut so i could detect the tick more readily. Thankfully she was also up-to-date with veterinary tick treatment, this means the tick would've already started dying, but i just helped the removal process along.

This is the seedy side of poodle/doodle breeding for money & not welfare. There are volunteer groomers giving up their Friday night as we speak, to release these poor dogs from their matted straightjackets. Gofundme details are attached to help pay for the care these dogs need 💔

Sad news today as I learnt that lovely Willow the Cockapoo had to be helped to Rainbow Bridge 🌈

A complete shock as she was only 3 years old and had developed a sudden & severe spinal issue.

I had the pleasure of grooming Willow since she was a puppy & will never forget her for being such a happy-go-lucky little girl who always arrived with great enthusiasm & affection!

Thinking of dear Willow, her 'big brother' Henry Cockapoo, and her doting family at this difficult time 🕊💐

Here's a photo of Willow, just how i like to remember her - with her best happy face on! 💖🐾

I hope you are all enjoying some long-awaited sunshine! 🌞

We are now in tick & grass seed season, so another reason to keep those fluffy coats in check, apart from the usual considerations of overheating & knotting.

These dense coats are like a haven for creepy crawlies & will hold grass seeds & foliage pretty well 🕷🦗🌾

This is a great article, something I have always said - you'd be amazed at what i can find on the skin layer of a wool-coated dog, doodles especially!

⭐️ EXCLUSIVE VETS KITCHEN 20% DISCOUNT CODE FOR PAWS TRULY CLIENTS! ⭐️

As you all know, I only advocate quality natural products that I have tried, tested & have had great success with on my own pets and others.

So much so, I am proud to announce that I am now affiliated with Vets Kitchen & have an exclusive 20% discount code to offer Paws Truly clients, off their first Vets Kitchen order 🥳

Every day I get asked by owners what can be done about their dog's gut or skin sensitivities which also include chronic ear inflammation & a**l gland issues. This can be stressful as well as costly if they end up needing medication.

As diet is the foundation of everything, I always recommend tackling this quite simply through a balanced natural diet with quality ingredients and none of the known usual dietary triggers. Vets Kitchen does exactly this and is usually very well received by dogs and cats who enjoy the taste too. 🍽

Here's my very own Kiki pup with hers!

Please ask if you'd like any advice, or to receive your voucher code 🐾

Happy Friday! Pocket-rocket Indiana the Morkie pup has to be the teeny-tiniest dog I've ever groomed! Here she is at just under 16 weeks old learning what this grooming malarkey is all about 😍

So thats a wrap for 2023! 🥳

A heartfelt thank you to all of you for your kind Christmas gifts, cards & wishes. I have been truly touched by them all 💖 Most of all, thank you for your custom & support throughout another year. I know its not been an easy year for many and I absolutely appreciate all of you who have worked with me & trusted my advice, knowing I will always endeavour to do whatever is best for your much-loved furry family member, to keep them maintained as well as happy.

I wish you all a wonderful festive season together & look forward to catching up with you all from 3rd January 2024 when its business as usual. (Also there are still more of your lovely groom photos to follow in the New Year!)

Love & best wishes, Cheryl 🐾

Here's young 4 month old Oscar the Cockapoo pup before & after his first / pup intro groom 🧡.

As always, I advise that pups are booked in for a positive introductory groom session before 16 weeks of age during that all-crucial socialisation period, which helps set pups up to succeed with a lifetime of grooming ahead, like this little man will have with his woolly doodle coat 🐾. Also continuing on with a 4-6 weekly professional groom schedule, with daily maintenance at home in the meantime, leads to a comfortable & happy doodle for sure 🧡

Quick photo catch up time!
Here's young Molly Sproodle when she came for her first groom with me. An absolute sweetie too 💕

Here's Rolo before & after one of his first Paws Truly grooms! 🤩

Being a super-curly & woolly-coated Doodle, Rolo's mum & dad opt for a practical clip, which is done on a regular basis. This is essential *especially* for this time of year when knotting occurs more readily due to the increased wet/damp weather causing any knots to tighten on the skin, as well as the debris falling from the trees getting caught up in a longer coat. Keeping a coat at this length on a 4-6 weekly basis, also means less friction knots occur when a dog wears a coat or harness & less drying time for the owner - win, win!🍁🍂💦

Be wise this autumn & winter, be like Rolo! 🤓🐾

We had such a great time at Paws in the Park meeting lots of happy new faces & waggy tails - as well some some familiar ones, who came to support the Paws Truly stand! Thank you, we hope you had as much as fun as we certainly did🍭🍦🌳🐾

So just recently i was tasked with a very special request.

Benny the Cockapoo's dad, asked me to make Benny super-smart & handsome as he had a very important role to play. Benny was going away to Cornwall to help his dad Jake propose to Benny's mum, Megan!

The great news is that it all went well & Megan said..............YES! 🥳💍

Here's a wonderful photo of the happy family celebrating 💖

Congratulations Jake, Megan.... & Benny! 🥂🍾🐾

Hi all, so its been a busy month all in all and lots of your lovely messages and new enquiries 🐾. Some of you may have noticed i've been a bit slower in responding over the past few week and thought i'd share with you what I've been up to 😉

My middle son Ben graduated from Uni with a BSc in Computer Science 🥳 The 2nd one of my boys now to do so! Here's me with my 3 sons, whom some of you may have already met. A rare sighting of me looking smart & free from pet hair! 😆
