Furry Friends Grooming

08/04/2023

When your dog comes to the dog pound because you’re tired of him, because he bothers you, prevents you from going on holiday or other excuses...
He sits and waits.
He's waiting for you to come get him.
A second, a minute, an hour, a day, a month, a year --- he's waiting for you.
He doesn’t know why, but he’s waiting because he trusts you, because unlike you, he loves you.
Listen up well then. Your animal is not a toy.
Think twice before getting a pet. You have the responsibility of a living being and of a family member.

Unfortunately one of groomers has done herself an injury that will prevent her from grooming in the short term. We will do our best to reschedule your appointment, but with current future bookings for the next 2 months, there may be some appointments that we simply cannot accommodate. If you have an upcoming grooming appointment that you no longer require, please let us know asap. Otherwise we will be in touch over the next week. We ask for your patience and understanding while we work through this process. Wishing Nikki a speedy recovery and hoping that she we be back grooming with us again soon.

People want to say you’re just a dog groomer...

It’s so much more than that! You spend time with these dogs every time they come through your door. You bathe them, do a**l glands, cut their hair, trim their nails, clean their ears, etc. Sometimes you have to do all this with the dog trying to bite you. Sometimes your trying to cut their hair while they are licking you to death because they love you! Sometimes your giving a puppy it’s first haircut and trying your best to be calm and patient while the puppy learns that the clippers and scissors aren’t going to hurt it! Sometimes your in the last few grooms of a senior dog and they start to hurt when you touch them and you try your best to be as gentle as possible knowing that any time they come to see you could be the last.. You find spots and growths that owners don’t always see. You sometimes find ticks and fleas and do you best to get them all. You act as vet with your years of experience of working on the dogs to give the owner your honest advice on what’s best to do for the dogs. You act as a therapist to the dogs and sometimes the owners as well! You advise owners on what shampoo to use on their dog at home, what flea and tick stuff works best, etc. Sometimes you have those customers who always thank you extra, say how much they appreciate you, try to give you way more money than they should but it’s always appreciated ☺️ and they send you those texts after they get home and tell you how good their dogs look! I appreciate my customers!

Most of all you develop relationships with the dogs and the owners! You’re there through their years together and experience it with them! You see the light in their eyes when they bring that new puppy or rescue dog the first time and see how cute they are after their haircut and or bath and see that bow or bandana on them! You see them continue to be excited every time they come pick their dog up and you can’t help but smile! You cry with them when they bring their dog and they say that they don’t know how much longer they will be here or when they get bad news from the vet! It tears your heart out! Most people will never experience all the emotions that we as dog groomers go through everyday!

So you’re never just a dog groomer, you’re so much more than that!

What a treat to be able to Volunteer our services to Rescue dogs !
‘Desperate for Love’ rescue do fantastic work & when they put the word out asking for help to groom little ‘Pixie’ we jumped at the chance to help. What a transformation, she was a fidget, but soooo sweet & I hear she found her forever home soon after this. Very satisfying to ‘give back’ 💜
