This is gorgeous Daisy- I met her about two months ago and she was a terrified little girly, and she’s come so far! She still doesn’t love the dryer, but she’s come a long way Olwyn Morgan thanks so much for trusting me with your fur child ☺️🐾

It happens every year. 😂

You think:

“I’ll book their next groom soon…”

Then suddenly a few weeks have disappeared, the weather is hot, your pup is fluffy again and everyone else has had exactly the same idea.

This is why I really recommend booking ahead heading into summer.

Regular appointments help keep the coat manageable and give us more flexibility with the style you want rather than waiting until the coat is too tangled or overgrown.

And as we start getting closer to Christmas, appointments become much harder to move around.

So if you already know roughly when your pup will be due again, there is absolutely nothing wrong with getting organised early. 🤍

One thing I want owners to know heading into summer is that a warmer-weather groom doesn’t automatically mean we have to take your pup extremely short. 🐶☀️

There are lots of options in between.

We can look at:

🐾 your dog’s coat
🐾 how quickly they knot
🐾 how active they are
🐾 how much brushing you’re comfortable doing at home
🐾 the look you still want to keep

For some pups, going shorter makes summer maintenance much easier.

For others, we can keep some fluff while making the coat lighter and more manageable.

Tell me what you love and what you’re struggling with at home and we can work out what makes sense for your pup. 🤍

If it feels like your dog has suddenly started leaving half their coat around the house… you’re probably not imagining it. 😂🐶

Spring can bring a lot more shedding as coats start changing with the warmer weather.

Regular brushing at home can help remove loose hair before it ends up on your clothes, couch and floors.

For dogs with thicker or shedding coats, a professional deshed can also help remove loose undercoat and make the coat feel much lighter and more manageable.

If you’re not sure what your dog’s coat needs, just ask me. I’m always happy to help you work it out. 🤍

One of the biggest questions I start getting this time of year is:

“Should we go shorter now it’s warming up?”

And the answer really depends on your pup. 😊

I look at their coat, how easily it’s being maintained at home, their lifestyle and what you’re comfortable managing between appointments.

Sometimes a shorter style makes everything easier through the warmer months.

Other pups can stay a little fluffier if their coat is being brushed and maintained well.

There isn’t one perfect length for every dog.

The goal is always to keep them comfortable and choose something that works for you too. 🐾🤍

I think sometimes owners put a lot of pressure on themselves to get everything right at home.

You don’t need to. 🤍

You don’t need a salon-perfect finish.

You don’t need to know every grooming technique.

The goal is simply to keep your pup comfortable between appointments and recognise when something needs a little extra help.

Even learning how to brush the coat properly, check the common problem areas and use the right tools can make a huge difference.

The more confident you feel, the easier it becomes for you and your pup.

A lot of owners feel like they should just somehow know how to look after their dog’s coat.

But honestly, most people have never been shown. 🐶

Which brush should you use?

How do you know whether you’ve brushed all the way through?

Where do the knots usually start?

How do you brush legs, ears or the tail without it turning into a battle?

You don’t need to become a groomer.

But learning a few simple techniques can make maintaining your pup between appointments so much easier.

And that’s exactly why I offer one-on-one grooming lessons too. 🤍

One thing I really don’t want owners doing is repeatedly pulling a brush through a knot because they feel like they have to get it out.

If it’s a very small, loose tangle, you may be able to work through it slowly and gently.

But if it feels tight, sits close to the skin or your dog is becoming uncomfortable, please stop.

Trying to force it out can make brushing painful and can teach your dog to dislike being brushed altogether.

There is never any shame in bringing a knot to your groomer.

I’d much rather you leave it and ask me than turn coat care into a battle at home. 🤍

I completely understand loving that fluffy teddy-bear look. 🐶🤍

But one thing I always like owners to know is that keeping a longer coat does come with more maintenance at home.

It usually means more brushing, more combing and keeping a close eye on the areas that knot first.

And if that doesn’t fit into your life right now, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with choosing a shorter style.

Sometimes the best groom isn’t the longest or fluffiest one.

It’s the one that keeps your pup comfortable and makes caring for their coat realistic for you.

Tell me what you love, tell me what you’re struggling with, and we can work out something that suits both of you. 🐾

Spring means more time outside, which I absolutely love for our dogs. 🌼🐶

But it also means I start finding all sorts of little things hiding in coats. Grass, dirt, little tangles around the legs and sometimes half the park. 😂

After a big outing, give your pup a quick check once you’re home.

Have a look through their paws, legs, belly and anywhere their harness has been rubbing.

If the coat is wet or muddy, be gentle with it rather than pulling a brush straight through tangled areas.

Those couple of minutes checking their coat can help you catch little tangles before they become much harder to manage.

Enjoy the adventures. Just check the fluff afterwards. 🐾🤍
