♥️🐾♥️ Welcome Moja to The Hairy Dog Family
This was Moja’s very first groom. He handled it very well although being wriggly and unsure about the process but with regular grooming he should become used to what is expected.
Because of this, time was spent training him on how to stand on the grooming table, getting him used to the noise of clippers etc and keeping the dryer on low speed.
Ears are always a tricky area to groom if dogs are not bought in at a young age, they will often turn or shake their head, some may even try to bite through fear and being unsure of what is going on.
Moja was a well behaved wriggly boy so keeping his head coat and especially the ears ( because of the many folds and creases in this area) slightly longer was best and safer for him for his first groom

Well done beautiful boy 🥰🐾🐶♥️

♥️🐾♥️ Welcome Remy to The Hairy Dog Family.
An absolutely gorgeous boy 😊
It is fantastic to see owners keeping up with maintaining their dogs coat between grooms.
Remy came in with a big coat and because it was knot free I was able to keep in a ‘fluffy’ groom and not clipped off short

♥️🐾♥️ Harvey is just a delicious bundle of cuteness.
Harvey always comes in with a knot free coat which means we can keep him in a longer Teddybear style.
This style is higher maintenance which does require regular brushing at home with the proper technique to prevent knots and potential matting forming throughout the coat

With 2 beautiful Hairy Dogs moving away from Sth Canterbury I have 2 available spaces for new clients 😀
I would like to wish Nella and Teddy and their families all the best on their new adventures.
It has been such a pleasure to pamper these two gorgeous fur babies for quite a few years now and will be very much missed here at The Hairy Dog ♥️

♥️🐾♥️ Sweet Gus… A special boy who has always been nervous with grooming and very fearful of water and being in the tub. Gus would have a complete meltdown, panic attack as soon as water touched him. Because of his fear his grooms have always been done without bathing him, which is so much kinder for him.
Unfortunately grooming without bathing will not result in a perfect finish and is not something I like to do but if it is best for a dogs mental health, then that is what has to be done.
With not putting him through the stress of bathing, he has now become a lot more confident on the grooming table and a much happier dog while being groomed 🥰

I would like to congratulate Arnold’s owners for doing a fantastic job managing Arnolds food intake and getting him back to his ideal weight.
Well done guys 😊

We groomers see many overweight dogs come into our salons and although well cared for and much loved by their owners, over feeding, treat feeding and lack of exercise is causing your dog more harm than good. In fact being just %10 overweight can decrease your dogs lifespan by a third, fat builds up around internal organs and predispose’s them to kidney, liver & heart disease as well as well as increasing the risk of arthritis and diabetes

An ideal weight for dogs: run your hands down their side, you should be able to feel but not see their ribs, you should also be able to see a waist

♥️🐾♥️ Fig the coolest wee man had his second Puppy Groom today and was introduced to a bath and the dryer. As you can see he totally rocked it like a champ.

You may remember a while back me mentioning getting to know our ‘Hairy Dogs’..I thought I’d start with my currant partners in crime Nico aka Nicolai the Russian spy and Dolces aka The Shermanator. I wanted also to share with you the many beautiful K9 companions I have been blessed to share my life with. It all started at a young age bringing home stray dogs… come to think of it, some probably weren’t strays lol … To having our first family dog Foxy. From there my love for dogs grew and I have never been without a K9 friend by my side since. The unconditional love they give us is so heart warming, the comfort they give us in times we need it most is uplifting and the particles of love ( dog hair) they freely share, well that’s all part of spreading the love. To not ever be blessed to share your life with a dog would be to truely miss out on one of life’s precious gifts. ♥️🐾

Wee Tess had her ‘Big Girls Groom’ ♥️🐾♥️

Socialisation 🐾

Another thing I like to do when puppies come in for their grooms is take the opportunity to socialise them with my Nico ( yes the very grubby groomers dog 😂) Nico is such a calm wee fella and great with young dogs. Socialise, socialise socialise as much as you can while young. Puppies go through different development stages the most important is the socialisation stage which is 3-12 weeks, Socialise them as much as you can in a safe controlled environment not only with other dogs but people as well and all types of animals they may encounter so they develop the skills to be calm happy dogs 😃

♥️ Puppy Tess 2nd groom

Love seeing puppies grow in confidence when time is taken to introduce them to grooming slowly and they are are not expected to tolerate a full on grooming session for their first or second groom..Sometimes it may even take longer for them to gain confidence to have their ‘big’ groom. Like I have said so often it’s not about how neat and tidy and perfect their first couple of grooms are, or about a breed standard groom while they are young, it’s ALL about puppy and growing their confidence. This is wee Tess’s 2nd groom in 3 weeks, no bath yet, and yes she may very well be able to cope with a bath, but to introduce the noise and blowing of the dryer can be too overwhelming, This is why I usually wait for their 3rd groom before introducing this, doing this I find by their 3rd groom they have more confidence to cope with the introduction of something new. Tess have gone from being a very wriggly puppy unsure of what was happening to being very calm on the table, which is the ideal outcome. Tess you so deserve your kisses sweetheart 🥰

🐾 Happy kids ♥️

Matted Coats

🐾😊🐾 With the days getting cooler and Winter approaching, I would like to talk about the importance of keeping your dogs coat maintained through Winter. I hear some owners say “because it’s winter I won’t get another groom until the Spring... A couple of thoughts to bear in mind.... * Does my dogs coat get knotty quickly....knots can quickly turn into felted matts which are very constricting *Do I regularly brush my dog (properly).....not just top layer of coat *Does my dog’s pads get very hairy.....wads of hair can form causing discomfort *Does the inside of my dogs ears get very hairy...wads of hair can form in the ears *Does my dogs sanitary areas become hairy, dirty.... dirty caked hair can form over genitals making it difficult to urinate and become Unhygienic * Is my dog an inside dog *Can my dog take off their long fluffy coat when inside by fire *Can my dog see through a huge head coat....Is eye gunge forming *Do I put jackets on my dog.....friction areas can cause matting *Is my dog comfortable To keep your dog comfortable through Winter and to avoid the dreaded ‘Shave off’ in Spring, regular grooms and Maintenance grooms are advisable
