🌟 Price Increase🌟

Please be advised from the 1st of May there will be a slight increase to all Grooms. This is something I have tried to hold off on for as long as possible, but unfortunately due to the price of my products continuously going up, I've been left with no choice. I hope everyone understands.

Please drop me a message if you wish to know your new Groom charge going forward from 1st May.

Thank you so much for everyone’s continued support, I really do appreciate it.

Some useful information for this time of year!

I've turned my reviews off for the time being on this page. The pet service industry is being left with negative reviews all over scotland so before he reaches mine I've switched them off. it's been going on for weeks now. They go by Frank Michael Whittle or Frank Whittle should you see them on any other pet provider pages just ignore them. Facebook apparantly are unable to remove them, even though it's a fake account.. what a crazy world we live in, my mind is blown 🤯🤯

Hi all just an update on my current situation, as some clients are already aware I sadly had to say goodbye to my own fur baby a couple of weeks back which was absolutely devastating, but now I am currently fighting off COVID I'm afraid! I will be in touch with everyone due and overdue as soon as I get two negative results but unfortunately until then I can't book any appointments. Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you so much for all the lovely messages over the past few weeks ❤

Hi all

I’m afraid this is NOT the update I was hoping to provide!

Unfortunately the Scottish government have decided yet again to move the goalposts for dog groomers. This time mobile groomers are no better off than salons.

It is sadly NOT business as usual for any groomers at the moment and instead we are having to make tough decisions on which dogs are welfare cases and in urgent need of a groom and which are able to wait.

If you have an appointment booked for the next couple of weeks I will be in touch over the next few days.

Please remember I am receiving a very large number of messages each day at the moment and will not be able to respond immediately.

I don’t always get notifications for comments on posts so please send a message rather than adding a comment as I may miss it.

I will be attempting to sort out appointments over the next few days so please bear with me.

I appreciate everyone’s patience as I get through this madness!

Stay safe everyone! 🐾🐾

Hi all, hope everyone is keeping safe and well. I'm now in a position where I can return to work all be it on a much smaller scale. Due to all the strict health, hygiene and distancing guidelines I am required to follow, to keep myself and my clients safe, I have less appointments available in a day. A full deep clean of the van is required between each groom and I will be wearing all the appropriate PPE. There are also very strict handover and drop-off guidelines to ensure 2 metre distancing and these will be based on your individual housing situations. My priority has to be on dogs requiring to be groomed on welfare grounds and therefore I will not as yet be grooming any flat coat dogs ie labs, beagles pugs etc. I am starting to work through the approximate 100 dogs that were cancelled over the past 8 weeks and prioritising as above with appointments. Please bare with me I will be in touch as soon as I can over the next week or so. I would also like to say thank you all so much for all you kind support and words over the past 8 weeks...it means so much in what was a very difficult and anxious time 🐾

Hi folks in this very unusual hot weather please note the length of coat isn’t what makes the dogs hot its the condition of it. A clean, brushed out coat allows air to flow through to the skin.

If the dog will let you, take the hair off the bottom of his feet.

A dogs way of cooling down is panting and sweat through their feet.

Always try to keep your dog out of direct sunlight and ensure they always have access to clean fresh water.

Never soak your dog in cold water as this can cause the dogs body to go in to shock which can be very dangerous and sometimes fatal!!!

Hello everyone, hope you and yours families are all well! Following ITV's Q&A session last night I just wanted to post regarding the answer given to the question regarding having your dog groomed. The guy on the TV stated "salons are closed but there are mobile groomers". Please please don't be mistaken that it is safe for us mobile groomers to work as things currently stand. This man has no understanding of the guidelines and measures we are still being advised to follow by our advisors in the industry and he also failed to mention that our PPL insurance does not cover us for potentially spreading this disease. I do not want to lose customers, you all know how much I enjoy my job and how many of you have become friends as well as clients. I am in the process of ordering the correct PPE, disinfectants, sanitizers, extra blades, double clip leads (we are not allowed to use the clients own) and all the other things I have to have in place before I can re open. I can't thank you enough for your loyalty and I hope you all understand that when I can work safely and also be protected myself I will be back to doing what I love and miss. ❤️🌈🐾

Following on from the Government’s announcement today the lockdown will continue for another 3 weeks at least. As per previous posts I am classed as a ‘non essential’ business and will have to remain closed until told otherwise.
Let’s hope that we have better news on 7th May but until then keep brushing and combing your pooches and if you need any help give me a shout. Take Care and Stay Safe 🐶🐾🌈

Morning all hope all is well with all my clients and there familys...here are some guidance slides covering the maintenence of all coat types, hopefully they will be of some help...Remember I am here if anyone has any questions... 🐾🐾

Dog groomers standing together for the NHS.

This grooming business is proud to be one of thousands of grooming businesses following the government and industry guidelines, closing to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus

These are difficult times and much as I would like to be open, I must do what I can to protect my clients and protect the NHS.

I miss my clients and understand that they will be getting hairier, and being closed will have a huge impact on my small business but the health and safety of humans must come first!
Dog grooming is not an essential service and all salons, including home salons and mobile vans have been recommended to close to limit the spread of the virus, though I am aware some are still trying to work it is not worth the risk to have your dog groomed. Frontline workers are putting their lives and their families lives at risk to keep us safe.

Please Stay at home

-Only go outside for food, health reasons or work (if you are a key worker)

-If you go out, stay 2 metres (6ft) away from other people at ALL times

-Do not meet others, even friends or family. You can spread the virus even if you don’t have symptoms.

Rest assured that I will be doing all I can once I reopen to get everyones grooms caught up. Please stay home, protect yourself protect your loved ones and protect the NHS.

Just a wee guide for all my clients with curly/long haired dogs during this difficult time ❤️🐾🐾

23/03/2020

‼️‼️ Just to advise that after the recent government announcement, until further notice, I will not be providing grooming services. I'm sorry for all who have appts coming up, if you need any grooming advice I'm here for you to ask.. One bit of advice I can offer right now would be brush comb brush comb as much as you possibly can, every day if you can, if your dog develops any matting do not bath it doesnt help and can make the matts even worse... 😊 I will follow government advice and be open again as soon as I can, take care of each other and stay safe ❤️🐶✂️🐾❤️‼️‼️
