Today we had to say one of the hardest goodbyes. 😞😭

​This beautiful lady is Layla. For the last six years, she has visited our salon every single week or two, and over that time, she and her owner became so much more than clients to us. Chris has always said her owner feels like a second mum to him.

​From celebrating our business wins together, to watching all four of the kids grow up in the salon, to holding each other through family losses—our bond goes so far beyond grooming. We are truly family.

​Today, we had the honor of giving 16-year-old Layla her final bath after learning she has been diagnosed with cancer. 💔

​While it is a sad day, we are at peace knowing she will not have to suffer. You will always be deeply loved and remembered, sweet Layla.

How incredibly stunning is this big boy? 🤩

​Yes, he is a Groodle, and yes, he was homebred by us.

​He is everything this mix should be, and I am so deeply proud of how he has matured.

​✅ Big
✅ Beautiful
✅ Incredible conformation and structure
✅ Gentle
✅ Kind
✅ Goofy

​And just the absolute BEST family dog.

(Or drop a photo of them below!)

​As someone who styles these coats every single day, I find the conversations around these dogs fascinating—especially what is happening right now behind the scenes in the dog world.

​Did you know the Groodle is currently under formal consideration by Dogs Australia (ANKC) to become an officially recognized breed?

​Under the proposed name The Dickens Retriever, they are currently going through the strict "Breed Under Development" pipeline.

This process involves rigorous multi-generational pedigree tracking and comprehensive health testing to establish a formal, predictable standard.

​It is a massive shift for the canine community and a really interesting space to watch

Is your double-coated dog actually ready for winter? ❄️🐾

​(Just look at how much dead coat came out during this bath with Coco the Finnish Lapphund! 🤯)

​Right now is the perfect time to prepare your dog’s coat before the cooler months truly set in.

​A lot of owners think that leaving a thick, compacted undercoat will keep their dog warm. It actually does the exact opposite. A compacted, dead coat acts like a sponge. It traps moisture, dirt, dead skin, and dust right against their body. Instead of insulating them, it stops air from circulating, meaning they stay damp, cold, and incredibly itchy!

​A professional de-shedding service gently removes all of last season's trapped hair. This allows their fresh, healthy winter coat to grow in properly and do what it’s meant to do—keep them genuinely warm, dry, and comfortable. ✨

​Give your dog the relief they deserve before winter hits. Price varies from $200 - $560 depending on size, coat condition and temprement
