For those asking for grooming recommendations moving forward, I’d absolutely love to recommend What The Floof Dog Grooming🐾

Victoria runs a home-based salon in Charnwood and, much like myself, works one-on-one with the dogs to create a calmer and less overwhelming grooming experience. She also works with dogs of all sizes, which I know many of my clients will appreciate.

Finding another groomer you trust with your dogs is a huge thing, and I genuinely feel very comfortable recommending Victoria to my clients ❤️

Please all be kind to her when the flood of messages starts coming through… because I suspect her phone is about to suffer 😂🐶

After a lot of thought (and quite a few tears), I’ve made the incredibly difficult decision to close Barks & Bubbles permanently.

As many of my clients know, I’ve been struggling with an ongoing shoulder injury for quite some time now. Unfortunately, dog grooming is an extremely physical job, and the rate I’ve been pushing through at has simply become unsustainable long-term.
My final day grooming will be Friday 5th June.

I’ll be personally reaching out to all existing clients individually throughout this week regarding upcoming appointments and recommendations moving forward.

✨While this chapter is closing, another one is beginning✨

I’ve recently accepted a temporary position managing the Royal Mail Hotel in Braidwood for the new owners, and embracing a slightly slower pace of life while I recover and figure out what’s next.

To every single person who trusted me with their dogs — thank you. Truly. It’s been such a privilege watching your puppies grow up, earning the trust of nervous dogs, and building relationships with so many wonderful people along the way.

And if you ever find yourself passing through Braidwood on the way to the coast, please stop in and say hello 🍻🐾

4 months old and was an absolute gem for her very first haircut!

Did you know… introducing puppies to grooming early helps build confidence and creates a much more positive grooming experience as they grow?✨

🤍 Lenny 🤍

Another gentle giant pampered recently.
Did you know all his fluff is helps regulate temperature in both hot and cold weather?
(Also did you know it ends up all over my salon and probably most of Higgins 😅)

A little update for you 😌

I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who has been so patient over the past couple of weeks while I’ve been dealing with a shoulder injury.

Working with dogs (especially the bigger ones!) is quite physical, and I’ve had a few days where I’ve needed to reshuffle larger dogs appointments to manage it. I really appreciate how understanding you’ve all been — it honestly doesn’t go unnoticed.

I’m currently working on getting to the bottom of what’s going on, and in the meantime trying to find pain relief that agrees with me.

At this stage, no future appointments have been cancelled — I’m just taking things day by day and doing my best to keep everything running as smoothly as possible. I may just need to learn to groom with my legs soon?

Thank you again — I’m very lucky to have such lovely and understanding clients!

Molly 💚
