Hey just want to remind everyone that this is such a busy time of year in the salon, due to santa paws coming 🎅🐾

Please can you arrive and collect on time to ensure the salon is kept calm and we ain't over loaded with dogs.⌚

Can't believe it's that time again, let pamper your pooches ready for the big day ❄️
Thanks Sophie
(Also otis will be making an appearance in the salon he apologise for his barking attitude, he's clearly saying in dog language "Merry Christmas everyone" 🎄🤣)

Just seen this on green vet page 👀📄

Parvo Virus Alert

There have been several confirmed cases of Parvo Virus in York recently.
Parvovirus is a very infectious disease that can be fatal. It is common in the UK, but until recently, relatively few cases were seen in the York area.
The virus attacks cells in a dog’s intestines and stops them from being able to absorb vital nutrients. This means that a dog will become very weak and dehydrated.
Sadly, many dogs who are diagnosed with parvo will die. The fatality rate in insufficiently vaccinated dogs can be as high as 90%, so vaccinating your dog is vital.
The virus is spread by direct dog-to-dog contact and contact with contaminated faeces, environments, or people. It is resistant to heat, cold, humidity, and drying, and can survive in the environment for long periods of time. Even trace amounts of faeces from an infected dog may harbour the virus and infect other dogs that come into contact with it. The virus is readily transmitted from place to place on the hair or feet of dogs or via contaminated cages, shoes, or other objects. In other words, it is invisible and impossible to avoid when walking your dog.
We urge all our clients to take this threat seriously and check if their dog’s vaccinations are up to date. This is the only way to protect them. Although vaccinated dogs can become infected, their survival rate after contracting the virus is much higher.
Parvo vaccinations are part of the puppy vaccination course but must be repeated during their first annual booster, and every three years after that to ensure their protection.
Please contact us if you are unsure about your dog’s vaccination status.

Hi everyone 🐾
Just a reminder as we come into the busy time of year for dog grooming please can you give me at least 24hours notice if you want to swap or have to cancel. This is to ensure i can fill the gap and not lose out on wages.
Times are tight with bills and the increasing cost of everything.

Without 24hours there will be a 50% charge of the grooming fee when reschedule.

If its a no show it will be a full charge of the slot if you are rebooking which will be next year for future bookings as this year is nearly fully booked.

Can I also remind everyone if your paying with bank transfer can this be done before collection of the dog. All my bank details are on reception at the salon. So I don't have to chase people for payment.
Please arrive and collect on time to help keep the salon calm 😘

Time to get these doggies pampered for the winter season and especially in December for Xmas. Some extra dates have been added for December be quick before they fill up 🎅

Thanks
Sophie x 😘💙🐾

Happy Monday
Otis is still on recovery but fit to come up to work with me 🐾🥰
Just got a little hurdle to overcome with is eating as he isn't eating as much as we hope but he could be still sore.

I will be back at work tomorrow Tuesday 11th september. I will be reducing my hours so Otis doesn't have to stay at work too long and also to not make myself too tired 🤣 it's been an exhausting 2weeks my poor brain hasn't switched off. ❤️
Thank you for all the support from everyone 🐾
Me and Otis will see everyone from tomorrow x ❤️

Hi everyone,
I'm going to have to cancel all appointments this week. ✖️

I have tried to rearrange everyone where I possibly can but I will be reducing my hours to give Otis the best care I can, also to help me recover.

I'm having to be backwards and frontwards to vet appointments plus I can't leave him unattended.

I fully understand if you need to go to another groomer I won't take offence 🤣 it's bloody hot weather 🌡️ so take care of your dogs in this late summer 🌞

Again really sorry and thank you for understanding. 🫣
Thanks
Sophie 🐾❤️

Hi everyone, last week was the most stressful time of my life with my Otis 🐾

Update I am still currently off work taking each day as it is really as we are still on the road to recovery but he should be able to stay at home rather than vets from today onwards which is incredible in his recovery journey but still needs appointments at the vets as he still has a feeding tube and some medication and to do some further checks to see everything is working from the sepsis disease 🙏🐾

I'm really sorry for cancelling appointments and I will get you back in asap but everyone has been understanding and I know my clients respect me and understand I need this time off with my dog as they are our babies and so important in our lives 🥰 and he needs me. I just need to figure out vet appointments and care for him.

Fingers crossed we can continue to go in the right direction for Otis recovery.

But massive thank you for the support ❤️🥰
He's just enjoying his snooze on the double bed downstairs as he can't go upstairs. ❤️

Hi just to update everyone my Otis had to be rushed into the vets on Tuesday with 2 ulcers that had burst in his stomach and sepsis. It was life or death really!
He's been currently treated but still fighting. Still a long way to go and so much to do.
He's my baby boy and my world! 🐾

Please appreciate I won't be answering text or calls. All appointments this week have been cancelled and I'm not really sure what's happening next week.
I am doing my best to keep strong ❤️
