Next time you visit your dog groomer, please be kind and consider how you speak to them. How would you like to be spoken to?
I speak for a lot of groomers at the moment, especially with the upcoming festivities, in that we are not feeling very appreciated at the best of times. Now don’t get me wrong, we have some absolutely wonderful customers, who are lovely in every way and they make us feel very much valued. A big thank you to those customers!
We love our job (most days), meeting all your lovely dogs and making them look wonderful. We take pride in our work and will always do what’s in the best interests of your dog and have their well-being at heart. We do try to keep costs as low as possible so that having your dog groomed is affordable for all.
However, this is also our career and we are running a business. We don’t do it just for fun and if we do not make profit, there simply would be no point in continuing.
It costs thousands of pounds to train as a dog groomer, hundreds to insure per year, thousands again to purchase the best equipment and products and then further money to maintain that equipment. On top of this, we also have rent, water bills and electricity to pay - we can all appreciate how expensive energy bills have become recently. We also don’t get paid holiday or sick pay.
So next time you are thinking about questioning the price, break that down and think about how much we are actually taking out of that for ourselves, to pay our bills at home and sustain a simple home life. Having a dog is a luxury, not a necessity.
Please treat us with respect, as you would like to be treated.
The above photo is a recent one taken by my colleague of myself after a free nail trim. Yes, a free nail trim. We didn’t charge. I held the dog whilst my colleague trimmed her nails and this was the result for me. Scratching, biting, growling, dribble faeces and urine are all things we have to contend with on a daily basis.
We had a visit from Mrs Santa Paws and Santa Paws himself 👀😂😂
Also a reindeer who was not impressed to be reindeer 😂😂😂
(How cute is Katie who was in for her first groom 😍😫)

This week onwards is my busiest time of year and I’m on a pretty tight schedule, if everyone could arrive on time for both drop off and collection it would be greatly appreciated 🫶🏼
Please allow 5/10 mins extra for me as I’m doing extra things as always to make it that bit more special for you all 💚
Like always please have patience! I may run behind some days I just never know how each day is going to go working with dogs and doing more dogs each week than normal can have a delay but I just need you all to bare with me like always 💚
Like always thank you all so much for your continued support ❤️ I have decided to start all things Christmas tomorrow 😍 can’t wait for you all to see what I’ve decided to do this year 🙈😂😂
Highly recommend Stephen if anyone needs help in any form of training

We have our winners 🥳🥳 Thank you to everyone who took part! 💚 I will get a hold of everyone asap to congratulate them and organise a day to collect their prizes 💚 Prize number 1- The two hampers goes to Danielle O Flynn 💚 congratulations 🥳 Prize number 2- The narrow quarter voucher goes to Lilly Lainchbury 💚 congratulations 🥳 Prize number 3- The free groom goes to Teresa Gormley 💚 congratulations 🥳 Thank you all again for taking part, and thank you to each and everyone of you for the continued support, can’t believe KNine turns 3 in just a few days 🥺💚 (other videos are in the comments🫶🏼)
Be smart in this weather guys 🙈 Keep them cool! Don’t take them out for walks during the day, do it early in the morning or late evening when it’s cooler 😭 seen so many walking their dogs between 10-6 it’s far too warm, even the walk from work to the house is enough for my boys in this heat 😭 if you don’t have them already, invest in cooling bandanas, vests and mats for your dogs 🙌🏼 they’re amazing in this heat!, also Lidl and Gary’s pet world do balls that you fill with water and freeze to help keep them cool (my boys are loving them atm) Remember all it takes is 15 mins for heatstroke to happen to your dog and it’s life threatening so be smart in this heat, it’s hot enough for us never mind them!
Due to me heading out this evening to celebrate a little for my birthday I thought I’d draw the name this morning ❤️❤️ Congratulations Tamsyn on winning a free groom ❤️❤️ Thank you to everyone who took part 🥰🥰❤️
Christmas has landed in KNine KompanioNs… and we’ve a special guest in to visit your four legged friend throughout the festive period on Fridays and Saturdays… if you would like your fur baby to have a photo opportunity with Santa paws feel free to call in on December 23rd before 2pm! 🎅🏽🎄🐾 Happy Christmas from us all at KNine KompanioNs.. let’s make it magical 😉🎅🏽🎄
Thought I should video this as it’s a major accomplishment 🥺🙌🏼 This is Jessie, when Jessie first came to me he hated and I mean hated his feet being touched so it was a struggle to do his nails and trim his feet safely all at once so it had to be done gradually throughout the groom, he would pull away and show his teeth to warn me he didn’t like it… I’ve been working with him each time he’s in to get to this point right here… So so proud of him, this is what hard work, determination and plenty of patience can accomplish 🥺😭 we’ve built a bond and he’s gained my trust 🥰🥹 If your dog struggles with a certain part of the groom, just know I will never give up on them and will work slowly with them to get them to this point 🥺❤️
Want to know my favourite part of my job?….. The never ending cuddles and kisses I get after each groom❤️🥺 it really does make my day🥰 I really do have the best job in the world 🥰🐾🐾
Think it’s safe to say Pippa enjoys her lil pamper sessions when she’s in🥺😭🤣 , think I should take up dog massage 💆🏽♀️🤣
How to brush and comb your dog❤️ this little tip will make brushing and combing at home 10x easier ❤️🐾
