Some pics of Bella and Fudge yesterday having their baths. Bella is a Beagle and Fudge is a Jack Russel X Corgi (possibly?). We used the blower for the first time to fluff out their coats and dry them off - Bella was chilled with the noise but Fudge took a little while before she settled down. On small dogs like these I can use the low speed setting to reduce the noise and "fear factor" a bit. It certainly helps a lot to dry out their coats quickly after a bath.

Only 3 more possible bath days are available next week - Wednesday to Friday and unfortunately at this stage it looks like only Friday could be a sunny day. As I already have baths diarised for my regular clients for these for these days, I can only take new bookings after I re-open on or about 10th January 2025.

Many friends on this page will remember Saneh Manci who has helped me with dogs nails on our nail clipping days. Today she celebrates passing her Diploma in Animal Health, with distinctions in 4 subjects and I am extremely proud of her. When she first told me she was working on her cell phone to do her studies, write on-line exams and even submit her assignments, I asked on this page if someone could donate her an unwanted laptop. One of my clients in Durban North did this for her and it made such a world of difference as you can imagine.
Saneh, Bark for Mark wishes you every success in your career in the years ahead and many happy hours working with animals, what a wonderful career it is.

This is Tullulah of Greenwood Park and she was such a star today. It was the first time she met me and her first Bark for Mark bath today. She was so chilled, enjoying every moment of her refreshing cold shower at the hottest time of the day. Afterwards she was quite happy to jump out of the tub into the bin of the bakkie and explore all the doggie scents.

This is Benson (Lab)and Mimi giving me the full "biscuit eyes" stare and it's impossible to resist. Benson does the "potato bag plop" when it's his time to be bathed and the only way to get him in the bath is to pick up the 25kg potato bag and deposit him in the tub - thankfully help was at hand to assist. There is a 3rd dog, Buddy, also a Daxie but he never likes his pic to go on Facebook.

It was a super hot Bark for Mark spa day today for Maggie and Chai. Both are rescues from SPCA Amanzimtoti Pets For Adoption now living in Durban North and enjoying their best lives ever.
They love their monthly baths and always run to welcome me and give me a dog hug. Knowing there are biscuit treats available has something to do with it I am sure!

Today I bathed 18 dogs in Durban North, starting at 7.15am and I could see how happy the dogs were in the cold water shower - from time to time I showered myself in the rinse water to cool off and by 3pm I was in our pool at home.

The dogs are so happy with my new HV (high velocity) blower / drier and so am I. Zoe would have happily stood there for 30minutes feeling the breeze through her coat. On a warm, humid day like today, I set the heater to OFF, so it's simply the speed of the air rushing through their coats that blasts out water droplets and loose hair and the results are stunning. Occasionally some dogs don't like the sound and we revert to a towel dry but I find most dogs are fine with it, especially as I wrap a towel around their ears to quieten the noise.

Only a few Bark for Mark dog bathing days before Christmas- I'm stopping on the 20th and there's bound to be "no bath rainy days" in the remaining 2 weeks, so WhatsApp me on 060 533 6353 for an appointment. My regular clients will receive priority in the remaining slots available so it's unlikely that I will be able to take on new clients until after I reopen on 10th January 2025.

Lucy (white) and Dax of Hillcrest had their scheduled 2 weekly spa day baths today. This is their biscuit treat look after which they will go and enjoy a nice afternoon nap, which is exactly what I am going to do. The crazy month of December is upon us, so if you don't want dirty dogs for the Christmas holidays, just WhatsApp me on 060 533 6353 to schedule an appointment.

Its forecast to be a rainy day tomorrow so I will not be washing dogs but instead going fishing for Dorado on Mike Sierra Fishing. I will resume dog washes in Durban North on Thursday and Westville on Friday.

Have a close look at the first 2 pics of little Zoey, enjoying her bath today. She is a rescue and I am not quite sure what her X pedigree is but she has remained at her puppy size, perhaps 12 kg or so. When I first bathed her about a year ago she was extremely skittish but as you can see, she is now totally relaxed in the bath. The next 2 pics are Gucci, who is now showing some grey hairs. The dogs get on extremely well, always zooming around the garden (and digging a few holes!)

It was another busy hot day today, starting with Bear at 8am in Glen Anil before working through Durban North, Umhlanga and finally Glenwood. The December Christmas holidays are fast approaching , with my last wash day planned for 20th December and start again on or around 10th Jan.

Bear is a very friendly, loving dog who gives me a wonderful welcome when I arrive, standing up on her hind legs and holding me tight with her front legs and wont let go. She is adorable. From the pics you can't make out her size but she is quite a large dog.

This is Mikki, he was my number 17 yesterday, full of smiles after a cold refreshing shower on a scorching hot day and then he managed the blower very well, with the heat setting switched off, so just the force of the air blasting the water droplets out of his coat.

This is Stella, a beautiful Chow cross, who had only her 2nd bath with Bark for Mark today. She has a very calm temperament, it's all about the love dogs experience in the home from their owners.
