🎄 IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FROM YOUR GROOMERS 🎄
(Please read before trying to book for December 🙏😂)

Dear Clients,
We love you. We love your dogs.
But we’ve reached that magical time of year when everyone suddenly realises their dog looks like a fluffy potato and wants an appointment today.

We are officially:
✨ FULL
✨ FULL full
✨ December-is-a-wild-dream full
✨ Not-even-a-gap-for-a-Pekingese-ear-tip full

There are:
❌ No bookings left for 2025
❌ No cancellations to “just put me on incase"
❌ No waiting list (it exploded and we swept up the pieces)

If we could grow extra arms, we would.
If we could groom while standing in the corner crying, we already have.
If December had 83 days, we’d still be full.

Holiday Closure 2025

We will be closed from 19 December and reopen on 5 January 2026.
(We will be horizontal for most of this time.)

Bookings for 2026

Please send NEW booking enquiries from mid-January 2026.
Not before.
Not “just a quick one”.
Not “just nails”.
MID. JANUARY. 😅

Thank you for the love, the support, and for keeping us so busy we can’t find our own scissors half the time. ❤️✂️

Our NexGard donation has officially been handed over ❤️🐾

Hayley from the York High Animal Club, together with PDSA, Borchards Paws and Salome from Sentiara, will make sure every dose reaches the township dogs who need it most.

After we organised the NexGard, a few clients asked if they could add something extra — so we requested Karbadust as well, to help treat the dogs’ environments and give them even better protection.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen. This is real community, and we’re so grateful to be part of it.

“We actually cleaned up surprisingly well yesterday 😅✨
Year-end breakfast at Delfino’s, a sunny stroll at The Point, and ice cream before the rain and wind arrived.
We even got a bit of a tan!
Not a dog in sight… just humans for once.

Because of your kindness, we now have 11 boxes of NexGard ready to donate — at least 33 dogs who will have a comfortable, itch-free Christmas.
Thank you… truly.

A heartfelt thank you to the dog parents who sponsored a box (we remember the dogs, not the humans):

• Max & Mini’s mom – 2 boxes
• Bella Doodle’s mom
• Chokkie’s mom
• Nuxie’s mom
• Pepsi & Frikkie’s mom
• Ruda’s mom
• Luca’s mom
• Teddy & Gigi’s mom
• Jackson’s mom
• Zaphod Bibelbrox’s mom – in memory of her big boy 💛

And a special thank you to Gerrie, who handled all the payments, orders and chaos to make sure every one of these boxes is accounted for.
She’s pictured here guarding the stack like treasure — which, honestly, it is. 💛🐾

We’ll share photos again once everything has been distributed.

Thank you for helping us make a real difference this Christmas. 🎄

🚨 LAST CALL FOR 2026 BOOKINGS! 🚨

Alright lovely humans…
We’ve reached the final week of bookings and your groomers are officially running on caffeine, hope… and your cooperation 😂✂️

A few important things:

📌 We are fully booked for:
January, March, April, July, August, December 2026 and Jan 27.
If your form comes in now for those months → you go onto the waiting list.

📌 All forms handed in after this week will only be processed next year.
(We’re clocking out once were done with the almost 300 forms, and refusing to look at another diary page until 2026 🎄😂)

📌 Please, please, PLEASE get your forms in now so we don’t have to chase you like a wet dog with zoomies.

We love you all…
But we also love our December break 😅❤️

Thank you for helping us survive booking season! 🐾

🌟 A Small Christmas Project From My Heart 🌟
I don’t usually ask for donations, but this one really feels worth it.

Our supplier has short-dated (expires end Nov) NexGard (3-pack) on special for R200 instead of R500+. And they told me if we take all 27 boxes, they’ll give us an even bigger discount — which means we can help even more rescue dogs.

If you’d like to sponsor a box, you’re welcome to send R200 and I’ll buy and deliver it on your behalf.
No pressure at all — even one box helps so much. ❤️🐾

At our parlour, we sometimes tell you when your dog is gaining weight, or when we spot early signs of a skin or ear issue. Please know — this is never judgement. It’s love, experience, and a promise we’ve silently made to every dog who walks through our doors.

I’ve seen what extra weight can do to a dog’s body… how it makes movement harder, grooming painful, and simple everyday things a struggle. I’ve lived it with my own dog too. Those moments stay with you. They change you. They make you speak up, even when it feels uncomfortable.

Dogs can’t explain when something hurts. They can’t tell you when their joints ache, or when their skin is starting to burn, or when their ears feel tender. They rely entirely on the humans around them to notice — and to care enough to act.

So when we mention something, it’s not to interfere. It’s because we want to protect them. We want you to have as many healthy, comfortable years with your dog as possible. We want to help catch the small things before they become big things.

We’ve been testing baby ear muffs during blow-dry time, and the difference is amazing! 🎧🐶
These cuties are all trying them for the very first time — a few unsure faces at first, but once they realize how much it helps, they relax right down. 💕
We’ll definitely be getting more so every pup can enjoy a calmer, quieter grooming experience!

🐾 Two Gentle Souls Looking for Loving Homes 🐾

Pete and Toffee are both in need of new homes as their family is moving overseas.

💛 Pete – A 10-year-old gentleman with the sweetest nature. He’s loving, obedient, great with other dogs and children, and a wonderful companion.

🤎 Toffee – Around 15 years young and still full of spirit! A loyal, loving boy who’s a great guard dog, good with kids and other dogs (but cats and rabbits… not so much 🤭😂).

If you can offer either of these lovely boys a home, please contact Tracey on 067 490 7032.
