🎉Happy first anniversary to me! 🎉

This week marks one whole year since the doors were opened at Posh Paws and I welcomed in my first four legged customers.

I would like to take the opportunity to say thank you to all of my clients for the support you have shown to my small business. I am very lucky to have such wonderful customers and such gorgeous dogs to work with.

Here is to the next year, let's hope it is as busy and enjoyable as this year has been.

Have a super weekend everyone 🐾🥰

Today I enjoyed a day of Continued Professional Development (CPD) at the annual 'Groomfest' show where the lecture demonstrations were held at The Kennel Club, Stoneleigh Park.

I particularly loved the masterclass given on a Standard Poodle where I was lucky enough to get a front row seat to be able to see Certified Master Groomer and International Judge Kitty Dekeersgieter.

This lecture was of real interest to me as a large proportion of the doggies that I see at Posh Paws have a wool or a wool combination coat type (such as Poodles and Cockapoos). So keeping up to date with new equipment, products and techniques are of great relevance to me.

I feel it is really important to never stop learning, there is always something to be gained by watching such a knowledgeable and enthusiastic professional at work!

I hope you have all had a great weekend doing something that you enjoy too!! 🐾

This is the gorgeous Reggie who came to see me yesterday. He is such a lovely boy who thoroughly enjoys his groom.

He was also kept entertained throughout by watching the farmer work the fields through the full length windows.

I look forward to seeing you again in eight weeks time Reggie 🐾

The gorgeous Lenny who came to see me today.

He may be small in size but like all Pomeranians he is BIG in personality!!

What a pleasure he is to groom!

Just a little note to add I'm taking some time off over the bank holiday weekend to spend some quality time with my family. So any enquiries or messages will now be replied to when I am open again next week.

Enjoy the bank holiday weekend everyone. Fingers crossed for some nice weather!

🌞 Appointments this week 🌞

Just a quick note to reassure my customers that I WILL NOT need to change any appointments due to the continued hot weather this week.

The grooming studio has been built to the highest specification, it is fully air conditioned and is extremely well insulated so therefore the weather outside, come rain or shine WILL NOT affect my appointments in any way.

So, as long as your dog can travel comfortably for their appointment, I will be there ready and waiting.

Customers can rest assured that the comfort and safety of your precious pets is my highest priority.

I look forward to seeing you at your next appointment!

If any of my regular customers haven't booked their next appointment yet please do so as there are only a few appointments remaining in June and I am booking in to July.

Have a great weekend everyone 🐾

This week has mostly consisted of spaniels!

There have been:
-Spaniels in the grooming studio,
-Enquiries about spaniel grooms and -Appointments booked for new customers with spaniels.

Here is just one photo of the very handsome Albie who came to see me for the first time along with his brother Socks. They were both absolutely gleaming after their grooms. Just look at the intensity of colour in Albie's coat!

I have had a few enquiries just recently about carding spaniels instead of clipping. Some spaniels (aslong as they have never been clipped) can be carded to remove the dead undercoat which will reveal the gorgeous natural colour underneath just like In this case with Albie. 🐾

This morning I had the pleasure of grooming the lovely Lexi, a Bernese mountain dog. Her owner was a little nervous about the appointment as she had never been professionally groomed before, however he was pleasantly surprised to find that with lots of praise and encouragement she was a very good girl. Three hours later she went home looking and smelling amazing!!

My aim here at Posh Paws is to treat each dog as the unique individual that they are. I will work with the dogs to keep them happy and comfortable throughout the grooming process. I want them to go home having had a positive experience as well as looking beautiful and today I think I achieved just that.

Such a gorgeous girl, well done Lexi!!

This week I've had the pleasure of grooming some really lovely dogs.

Earlier in the week I had the Fabulous Freddie who was an absolute superstar! He thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of the groom so much so that he actually fell asleep on the grooming table by the end! (He did have the hairiest toes I've seen in quite a while!!) It was quite a transformation!! He is a real credit to his owner and his previous groomer who have clearly done a great job in familiarising him with the grooming process.

Then to end the week, today I had the delightful Darcie who was an absolute sweetheart and a very good girl throughout. The photos really don't do her justice, she is very beautiful and her coat was gleaming, she was so shiny!!

Next week I have the following appointments remaining:
Tuesday 24th January at 12pm
Thursday 26th January at 9.30am
Friday 27th January at 9.30am
Please message to book.

As we head towards the spring, February and March look to be getting quite busy already so if you think you would like your dog grooming then please get in touch sooner rather than later.

Have a lovely weekend with your doggies

I would like to take the opportunity to thank all customers for supporting my new small business. Every lovely review, every nice comment and each and every like means the world to me.

I hope that you get to enjoy Christmas day surrounded by your gorgeous four legged friends.

Here is a photo of our much loved dog Jack, a 10 year old cocker spaniel. He is a very important part of our family and always likes to get involved with everything that we do, including the present opening at Christmas.

MERRY CHRISTMAS to you all!!

This week has been a VERY busy one and fortunately for me the cold weather has not stopped play.

Every inch of the grooming studio was carefully considered during the build to ensure the comfort of the dogs, no matter the weather! I am pleased to say that all of the hard work was worth it!!

So come rain or shine, come frost or heat wave! owners can rest assured that the salon is fully air conditioned in order to maintain a comfortable temperature for each and every dog.

Below is the very beautiful honey who was adorable and is now looking and smelling gorgeous and all ready for Christmas.
