Why do Cockapoos cost more to groom?
🐶✂️🐩🐾🏠🛁

Cockapoos and other Poodle mixes, usually have a coat that is very high maintenance, needing regular brushing and combing by the owner, as well as regular professional grooms.
🐾🐾🐾

A lot of mixed Poodle breeds won't tolerate regular, correct brushing and tend to have mats in their coats.
🐩🐩🐩

Some try to bite, wriggle, scream, have hysterics, when they are groomed, so need regular grooms to minimise the stress on the dog and the groomer.

Matted coats give the groomer, additional work, which is time consuming, laborious on hands and blunts equipment.

So in short, Cockapoos etc. all need extra work to other breeds, hence the pricing.

None refundable deposits are taken, for all appts.

If you move appt. I cannot guarantee fitting you back in at a suitable time.

Many thanks to my lovely customers for your continued support.

Tis the season for… ANTIFREEZE toxicity! 🧊

Ethylene Glycol is the active ingredient in most antifreeze products, and incorrect storage or spillages of these products lead to an influx of antifreeze toxicity throughout the colder months. Although cats are most susceptible to toxicity due to their roaming lifestyle, dogs are also attracted to Ethylene Glycol by its sweet tase.

Antifreeze is usually lapped up after leaks or spillages around the driveway, or in sheds or garages. Unfortunately, it has a very narrow margin of safety, meaning only a tiny amount ingested can result in severe poisoning leading to acute kidney failure and death. Effects from poisoning can be seen quickly, but signs of kidney failure can be delayed for up to two to three days.

If you suspect your dog has ingested Ethylene Glycol, immediate veterinary attention is imperative as the prognosis is very poor once clinical signs have developed. If your dog encounters any suspicious liquids on their paws or fur we suggest washing them with soap and water immediately to remove any residue and contacting your vet for advice.

We urge people to use non Ethylene Glycol products, store any liquids out of reach and promptly clean up any spillages when in use. Although not all antifreeze products contain Ethylene Glycol, other substitutes which contain Methanol or Propylene Glycol can still make your dog unwell.

💬 Thinking about how to price your grooming services? Here's a simple breakdown:
When setting your grooming rates, it's important to look at everything involved in the process 🐾✂️
🔹 Break down each task – bathing, drying, brushing, clipping, styling, and more.
🔹 Estimate the time – a full groom can take 2 to 4 hours, depending on the breed, coat condition, and the dog’s behaviour.
🔹 Factor in product costs – quality shampoos, conditioners, blades, and tools all add up.
🔹 Don’t forget your value – your training, experience, and skill matter. You've worked hard to get where you are.
⚖️ Pricing fairly means being fair to yourself and your clients. Don’t undercharge — professional grooming is an art and a skilled service. 💪🐶
