There’s something that changes in a dogs eyes once you have cleaned them, pulled the sticks out of the fur, washed the mud from the paws, massaged the conditioner through and trimmed them up … love his amber eyes 👀

Happy Easter from VOC! We hope you have a fantastic and well-deserved break with your furry best friends this long weekend.

Just a friendly reminder to keep any chocolate and hot cross buns away from your mischievous pups who might be tempted by a tasty human snack or two! Safety first, right?

If you run into any issues, don't worry. Emergency veterinary clinics will be open 24/7 and are there to help. If you're in the extended community in NZ, just reach out to your regular vet clinic to make sure they're available over the weekend/after hours.

At this stage we are available for the Franklin area – this includes Drury, Bombay, Ramarama, Pukekohe, Paerata and Karaka.

Booking times and enquires will be available on our website as of today – time slots may vary when booking to suit our travel route, so please provide correct contact information!

Summers coming and so are the hot thirsty dogs!

People people people… PLEASE brush your dogs in between grooms. I have had a week of badly matted dogs, I get life is busy but find 10min a week to keep on top of their coats. Did you know matting can affect blood flow, cause yeast infections, twist and tear your dogs skin, create hotspots not to mention being extremely uncomfortable for the dog. Its also dangerous for the groomer as matts form close to the skin so the blades have to be in exactly the right position to ensure the dog isn’t injured. All very stressful so grab that brush and keep your babies beautiful 🙏

The importance of a ‘first groom’ meet Delta my new baby shepherd.. today she had her first bath, dry and nail clip. Its ideal to start them young and desensitise the process getting used to being handled in new ways. I take away the fear, go slow, lots of praise, treats and cuddles all make huge difference for future grooming no matter the breed! ( she handled it so well lets hope as a 35kg adult she will be just as good ) 🤞🏻

When the matts need to go and we need to find the face and eyes again… makeover day ☺️

15/07/2023

lost my beautiful girl last night…

She was my best friend, my first shepherd, my warmth on my feet in winter, the company by my side every day, the nudge of her head with a toy, the dirty foot prints and long hair everywhere, the woof in the night, my constant conpanion that gave her unconditional love ❤️ i am beyond devastated...

Hug your babies tight dont take tomorrow for granted and please bear with me as i navigate my grief 😞

05/04/2023

Before and afters …Rosie was well overdue for her groom and needed a good tidy and Spud at 14weeks had his first ever groom today. He was terrified so i took it slow sung to him ( badly 😂) stopped for lots of pats, cuddles and positive praise, thankfully we got there in the end and he went home feeling much better!

Todays been a tough one knowing that it may be this guys last ever groom. I have been grooming Wilbur since I started and have watched his slow decline 😞 so todays groom ( not going to win any awards with it) was about making the experience comfortable for him rather than me. He got bathed in the dog pool so he didn’t have the stress of being lifted in and out of the slippery shower, no blow dry just a towel and bit of sunshine ☀️ I sat on the floor to groom him and held his body weight so he didn’t have to stand all the while trying not to cry..

Beautiful Luger had his first groom today. I’m always apprehensive doing first grooms you never know how the dogs will react.. I should have known, being a well trained German Shepherd he was easier than most of the little dogs I groom 😂
