I will be finding Arlo’s hair everywhere for the next week at least, but this is SO satisfying! 💨
Kenzo the Cockerpoo's first groom had to be on the TikTok grid! 🌟
Bruce has been prepped ready for a long day ahead of us tomorrow… but can anyone guess where we’re going and what we’re doing? 🤩
(I recorded the entire bath and then realised my phone tipped over half way through! 🤦♀️)
Running into the weekend like… 🤪
We are now closed until Monday 22nd November for our Christmas work do and a day off before the entire grooming industry goes bonkers! 🎅🏼
No messages will be responded to and phone calls will not be answered. Please leave a voicemail and all enquires will be responded to on Monday. 📞
Thank you for your patience, Ellie 🐾
Today is one year since the first client visited Ellie's Groom Room and what a mad year it's been since! We've met almost 300 dogs, survived two lockdowns and although resting a broken foot wasn't where I saw myself this time last year, I couldn't be happier! 🤩
We had lots of entries to our first birthday competition and I want to thank everyone who entered, however there can only be one winner… 🥁
Congratulations to Danielle Brown! 👏🏼
Please get in touch to arrange collecting your prizes. 🐾
❕TEMPORARILY CLOSED❕
Late last night I left A&E with a boot and crutches after breaking my foot. I’m currently in a lot of pain and unable to move so unfortunately, grooming is physically impossible! 🦴
I know this will be hugely inconvenient for so many of you and I’m incredibly sorry that there isn’t more I can do. I recommend those who cannot wait for an appointment (I will be back as soon as I can be, but this isn’t something I can put a time scale on)! contact me and I can pass on the details of another local groomer who may be able to help you out sooner than I can! 🤞🏼
I currently have an 8 week wait for an appointment so I know how much of an effect this will have on so many people. I will not be taking any new bookings to ensure I can adhere to current clients. 📔
I hope to be back really soon, and will contact those of you who will be effected throughout the day. 📞
Thank you for your patience, Ellie 🐾
Splish splash Marley definitely needed a bath! 🧼
What a beautiful day for a deep clean and an AIR CON UNIT DELIVERY! 🥵
Even on the hottest of days, know that your dog will always be kept cool whilst being groomed! ☀️
Looks like i’m not the only one hoping for some sunshine soon! 🌧
I think Fergus thoroughly enjoyed his first professional groom! 💛 ...
We’ve finally joined TikTok! (What I mean is, i’ve finally worked out how to use it 🤪)
Follow me on this link to see gorgeous Ginny the Jack Russell Terrier and hopefully many more successful videos soon! ⬇️

Someone was pleased to see me today! 🤩
I’m now back in my Groom Room after a couple of days away for some CPD so response times will be back to normal. Thank you for your patience. 🙂
We braved the snow for a rather chilly walk this morning. The dogs loved it but we're certainly glad to be home! ❄️
Who else ventured out in the cold? 🥶
Over the past week I have been in contact with East Suffolk Council and Trading Standard regarding many controversial updates from different organisations related to the dog grooming industry. Whilst there is still so much speculation around the term ‘welfare’ I personally believe that no dog should ever have to suffer as a result of delaying a professional groom.
I will start off by saying that all new clients who believe their dog would benefit from a welfare groom should contact their regular groomer in the first instance, however I welcome anybody who needs my help.
I have written confirmation from Trading Standards that states I am able to stay open following the guidance set out by the Canine and Feline Sector Guidance (CFSG) for welfare grooms only. They have defined this as ‘a long-haired dog who may get too hot, too difficult to clean, or too difficult to care for if its coat is not cut. Also, the clipping of claws which cause welfare issues when too long. As such it should be more difficult to justify the grooming of short-haired breeds.’ If you believe your dog meets this criteria then I would be happy to book you an appointment.
I will not be carrying out bath only appointments unless it’s for medical reasons, and appointments that can be pushed back will be. I also highly recommend that your dog has a shorter haircut than usual to reduce the number of visits needed during this time. If you’re unsure whether your dog requires a groom please get in contact and we can discuss this further.
I have received many enquires asking if I am ‘open as normal’ and I can confirm that this is certainly not normal. As a strictly one-to-one groomer (especially during the pandemic) I am trying my best to keep my home based salon as hygienic and covid free as possible allowing extra time between clients and doing less dogs than I normally would as well as working considerably less days.
Anyone who wishes to see the written evidence from Trading St
Gorgeous little Izzy the Border Terrier took over Tiktok to show off her before and after shots of her hand strip today! 🌟
