Sammies Pet Care Service

02/02/2023

Hey as most of you already know, I am here to announce the sad closure of Sammie's Dog Grooming, It has been a difficult decision to make as I built this business up from scratch, but I feel that now is the right time for me to move on to pastures new.

You have been some of the most fantastic and loyal clients which I have grown to know along the way, so thank-you for your support and custom over the years.
I will certainly miss all your four legged babies and wish you all the best for the future.

I will be continuing to run Sammies Pet Care Service as normal.

Best wishes Sammie ♥️🐾

As I'm sure you're all aware, the weather is extreme at the moment and is set to get even hotter. With this in mind I wanted to let you know I may need to send dogs back damp or re arranged appointments with short notice.
Dogs do not enjoy being under the hairdryer in this heat so there may be occassions where they may be sent home damp depending on how they're coping just to help keep them cooler.
I put every effort into keeping your dogs as cool as possible however sometimes it's simply not safe to be in the salon. If dogs start to struggle I will send them home. I won't put a dog's life at risk for a haircut. It may be necessary to rearrange appointments at short notice depending on how each day is going. I hope you understand and agree that the dogs well being has to come first during this heat wave. 🌞

How the Kong ball was invented.

The Kong toy was invented by accident more than 40 years ago when Joe Markham needed a way to prevent his German Shepherd Fritz from biting on rocks and sticks. Fritz, who Markham adopted as a shelter dog, had worn down his teeth to one-third of the size they should have been.

He was working on his vehicle and tossed an axle stop with an attached bracket on the ground. His dog got hold of it and loved it. He was playing with it joyously, much to Markham’s amusement.

He said to his friend, “What do you think of my new dog toy?”

His friend replied, “Actually, it’s not too pretty. It looks like an earplug from King Kong.”

And the Kong toy was born.

Christmas is upon us and as we start the festive shopping, the awful pet Christmas line is in all the shops... Please don’t get these for your pets this Christmas, this is rawhide and it has been artificially dyed red and green and glued into different festive shapes.🌲🎅🏻

Its journey starts with the hides being soaked in a toxic sodium sulphide to remove the hair and fat. More chemicals are then used in order to split the hide into layers which is then washed with hydrogen peroxide to give the white look and remove the rancid smell.

Now comes the pretty festive colours and the glue to form cute shapes.

They regularly cause intestinal blockages and choking. The chews get slippery when wet and are near impossible to get hold of to save your choking dog.

Please be safe this Christmas and pick a much nicer alternative for your furry friends ♥️

Did you know that hairy feet put your dog at higher risk of matting between toes and in pads as well as a increased chance of collecting unwanted things like grass seeds which can inbed under the skin.

Time for a pawdicure 🧡🐾

With Bonfire night and Halloween fast approaching I thought it would be worth sharing this again.
Remember to start prepping now to avoid triggers.
Start closing curtains around 4pm daily, start walking earlier before it gets dark and create a den/safe place that your pet can go and hide if they want. Make sure your pets microchip details are upto date and they are wearing a id tag on their collar. Turn up the tv or radio.

You can also make a DIY Thundershirt

​The whole concept behind the ThunderShirt is really simple. It basically works around the concept of swaddling, Just like swaddling a baby can help them feel more comfortable and secure, compression can help calm down an anxious dog.

The ThunderShirt is designed such that it gently wraps around your dog’s mid-section to make it feel more secure. The gentle pressure applied by the shirt has a relaxing effect that helps approximately 3 out of 4 dogs relieve their anxiety.
If your pet struggles this time of year, contact your vet for advice ❤🐾

It's not just long haired dogs that can benefit from a good groom, Look how much hair came out of this little lad when he had his pampering session with Sammie. A good bath and de-shed left him feeling, looking and smelling fresh ❤🐾
