Organised Crime continues in daycare.

Gang leader (Scout, 10wks) has started recruiting starving minors (Olive, 6mnths) as ex*****oners.

The pictures of Freddie The Frog have not been released due to the graphic nature of the ex*****on and Larry Lamb is still in surgery in a precarious balance between life and death.

Please do not look into his eyes (left).

They are persuasive, and he will offer kisses and tiny paws and skippity hops to lure you into the seedy underbelly of his gang.

If you see it, say it.

Sniffing Out Clues on Paw-fessional Gang Recruitment

06/01/2025

Puppy trouble continues at The Paw Seasons.

Gangs are being formed and Scout (10wks) has employed the services of a bodyguard, Demo (6mnths).

Rival gangs have been warned and county lines (doorways between rooms) are being patrolled more rigorously by security (Tyler).

Please be vigilant.

If you see it, say it.

The one where Rufus turns THREE. 🎉🎊🎁🐾🥳

Please note, more dogs were involved in the pawty, but trying to wrangle them into a photo or a pawty hat for a photo is like trying to wrestle jelly to stay in a pair of fishnet tights.

We Only Groom Dogs Here!

At our grooming salon, we pride ourselves on providing top-notch services for your beloved canine companions.

Our services do NOT include polar bears.

While we appreciate the adventurous spirit, here are some reasons why we stick to dogs:

1. Size Matters: Our grooming tables are designed for dogs, not 1,000-pound polar bears. We’d need a forklift, and that’s not covered by our insurance.

2. Climate Control: Polar bears prefer the Arctic chill, and our cozy salon is more suited to a warm bath than an ice bath. We’d hate to see a polar bear sweating it out under our dryers. Utterly ridiculous viewing. Do not recommend.

3. Fur Real: While we love a good fur challenge, a polar bear’s coat is a bit more than we can handle. Our clippers might just give up and retire.

4. Safety First: Our groomers are trained to handle wiggly puppies, not apex predators. We’d like to keep all our fingers, thank you very much.

5. Insurance Woes: Our policy covers the occasional nip from a nervous poodle, not a playful swipe from a polar bear. We’d rather not test those limits.

6. Snack Time: We offer treats to our doggy clients, but we’re not sure what polar bears prefer. We suspect it’s more than a biscuit 👀😱


So, while we admire the majestic beauty of polar bears, we’ll stick to grooming dogs for now. Please respect our salon policies.

Good evening.

It has come to our attention that some people are not taking our salon rules seriously. 😔

Dropping off a new born black bear cub shows you’re willing to put us at considerable risk and have a blatant disregard for wildlife care to boot.

Shame on you.

Cubs grow quickly, reaching 2 pounds (900 g) at 6 weeks, 5.5 pounds (2.5 kg) at 8 weeks, and 40–60 pounds (18–27 kg) by 6 months.

Cubs are curious animals and have less than a year to learn the skills they need to survive as solitary yearlings. Female bears teach their cubs to climb at a young age, and often send them up trees to escape from danger.

As you can see by the ferocious talons on this one, it managed to climb up Gail’s arm already.

She has tattoos and would appreciate them not being shredded for one thing.

We also do not have the appropriate treats to keep them sweet like skunk cabbage, grasses, berries, acorns and nuts. As far as last checked, no ant, bee or termite meats in the salon either.

We haven’t bothered to call our insurance to check we’re covered as it only increases our premiums each time and we fear we’re becoming the laughing stock of the company.

Very soft, would pet again.

The Paw Seasons Doggy Daycare fields (and grooming spa) are located HERE 🙌 in the dark green tree outline.

Surrounded by hectares of farmland and away from distractions like cars & main road noises and trains and sirens and high pitched triggers, you can have peace of mind that your furry friend is in a safe large open air environment with plenty of shade, fresh water supply and sheltered covering for extreme weather (mostly for the humans 😂, they don’t care one jot).

The commercial licence & name we hold is purely for the size of our fields and the facilities we have. Every other “daycare provider” is a day boarding facility which is vastly different in requirements and space. Those are home boarding facilities which offer day boarding in the home and within that the home gardens. Walks will need to be included in this.

No walks required here.

Open pack play and enrichment will tire your doggo out like nothing else.

The Shottendane Rd is to the bottom of this picture and Manston Road is towards the top.

We also have Kirkaldie’s K9’s offering training sessions for puppy classes, agility, recall and heel work and one to one sessions for specific needs.

Oohlahlah. Acres of fun on your doorsteps. 🐾🦴🐶

Matted ears 👂on cockerpoos and cavapoos can be a real problem for doggos who don’t like to get brushed.

This is to show you just how CUTE they can look with short clipped hair on the ears to save the fight and pain, especially if they’re already full of matts.

This particular pupper also had lots of matting where the harness rubs against the coat and skin and it was kinder to clip that short too.

Summer ready ☀️😎🕶️

Puppy Grooms

Grooming isn’t just about a dog’s looks. Starting a regular grooming routine with your pup has many benefits for you and them.

Dogs like predictability and routine. So, the sooner you get them used to activities they’re going to experience regularly, the better.

Grooming is an essential element of puppy care. It benefits all breeds by removing loose hair, dander and grime. Regular brushing helps to bring out the natural oils in your puppy’s coat too, giving it a healthy sheen.

What to look for when choosing a groomer.

Look at reviews. At the end of the day, customers are the best judge. Ask other dog owners for recommendations.

Check the groomer’s qualifications. We are qualified and we continue with our professional development, as this is not just a job, it's our passion.

All salons must have an up to date insurance certificate.

Ask the groomer about the products they use. Salons should invest in top quality shampoos and equipment. We only use safe, natural professional products that have been specifically designed for dogs and made in the UK by hand.
