Welcome back Marie!!

Post edit: Sorry folks, Monday the 25th is Labour Day. So reopening day will be Tuesday the 26th October.

Hey beautiful people! 🤗

We made it safely home to Kerikeri yesterday late afternoon. Now to unpack enough of the essentials things to live and groom. Given how tough moving is on the body, I’ve decided I will need to have a few days rest to be at my best for grooming all your gorgeous pooches. So reopening day will be Monday the 25th of October.

I will spend tomorrow on the phone making bookings. Looking forward to seeing you all again soon.

Hello you beautiful people 🤗

I’ve had a lot of you reaching out to me over the past few weeks requesting my return to Kerikeri.

So many of you have also offered to open your homes to me to be able to groom your fur babes and a few others that are in desperate need. I can not express enough how grateful and how much I appreciate that 💗.

Here’s the thing. For me to be able to return, I need a home I can also have my own animals and also a lovely landlord that would be happy for my to operate my little business from.

You all know I take great pride in my grooming, my home and work space.

Sooo…please keep an eye out for me. If you find or hear of somewhere you think may be suitable please let me know and I will look into it further. I would prefer to work from home but I do have another space on offer to work from if need be. As long as I can have my own animals there then I’m not fussed either way.

A few necessities that are needed for me to be able to work from home:

🐾 A bath

🐾 A space much like the carport I was working in. I would prefer a garage.

🐾 Access to power.

🐾 Fenced backyard preferably..if not, I do still have temporary fencing.

The home will also need to be a minimum of 2 bedrooms and warm and dry to cater for my fibromyalgia.

Please share my post and get the word out that I’m thinking about coming back if something suitable comes up.

Kind regards Marie
and much love to you all
💗🐾🌟🐶🤗🦴🥰🤞

Brushing and Combing between grooms is very important for the health of your pet!

Here are some points to consider as well as some helpful tips and tricks to help you look after your dogs' coat at home.

🐾When grooming your pet - make sure they are on an even, flat surface where they feel secure and wont slip over or fall from
🐾Start at the back and move your way forward when brushing and make sure to hold each part securely with one had while brushing/combing with the other hand to avoid your dog moving away from you
🐾Start at the back and move your way forward when brushing and make sure to hold each part securely with one hand while brushing/combing with the other hand to avoid your dog moving away from you
🐾Make sure to also comb where the legs join the body as this is where a lot of friction is created when dogs run and play as well as behind the ears and under the neck
🐾When brushing ears, hold the ear flat on your palm and pinch with your thumb to hold the ear secure. Try not to brush the ears with out holding them as they can be very sensitive and injuries can happen
🐾Yes, you can brush your dog when they are wet. Just be a bit more gentle

Keeping your pup’s skin and coats healthy is at the top of your priority list when it comes to their grooming. We thought we would give you a bit of glimpse into deshedding 😊 This is where we remove their undercoat which is the the hair that will eventually end up on furniture and clothes. This only keeps them healthy, it keeps them comfortable and happy 💚💜
