I can't believe this darling boy is still searching for his forever home. Intelligent, active, happy and ready to learn and be loved. If you know someone who might be interested, feel free to give them my details. Kate - 0438 442 688

Hi everyone. I am well and truly back in the swing of things. Just playing catch up.
If you haven't heard from me and need an appointment, please send me a message as I've probably forgotten 🫣 can I blame baby brain seeing as I've got the puppies? 🤭
I've actually spoilt myself for the first time in MANY years. Usually, all my money goes on new products etc for your precious furkids. This time, I've bought myself a new stool. My current stool is around 70 years old and literally falling apart. I'm sure it would love to retire 😂
I look forward to seeing you all soon.
Love Kate ❤️

Hi everyone. Please be patient with me at the moment.
I am hoping to be back to work shortly but in the meantime I am very busy managing and educating 10 beautiful babies.
If you can hold off contacting me for appointments until late April, that would be greatly appreciated.
You all know how much I love your dogs and will go out of my way to accommodate them but my own little pack comes first, especially after my heartbreak late last year.
If you want to follow the progress of my babies (now 3 weeks old), feel free to send a request to my poodle group "Keacia Poodles".
I will see you all soon.
Love Kate 🥰🐾🐩

*RANT AHEAD*

I've debated for weeks about posting this but honestly, I feel I need to. All of my clients know how much I love my own dogs and my clients dogs, and how heartbroken I am if ever anything happens to them. But anyway, here goes....

As a groomer, we put our hearts, bodies and emotions on the line daily, working with other people's precious furbabies and doing what we love. We are passionate about our work and enjoy the challenges and differences each day brings. We continue to undertake training and educate ourselves on new methods, products, tools and equipment or simply to refresh our skills. We spend countless hours going through the latest trends, haircuts, breed standards all to perfect our craft. We miss lunch breaks, loo breaks, live on coffee and lollies just to get through a day of work. We work unwell, in pain, dosed up on panadol or ibuprofen, covered in cuts, scrapes and bruises along with unseen injuries like RSI or carpal tunnel. We advise clients of any issues we may notice, lumps, bumps, changes in behaviour etc. We work incredibly gently with all of our clients, but especially so with the very elderly and fragile doggies. We are filled with joy when someone gets a new furbaby and we are heartbroken at the news of one of our "old timers" having crossed the rainbow bridge.
On top of all of this, (and I cannot speak for all groomers) I work incredibly hard to ensure that my workspace is clean, sanitised and pest free. This is an absolute minimum requirement in my view. Anyone who has watched me work, knows how fussy I am about this. I hate loose hair on my workbench or under my feet, I sanitise between dogs, I offer clean bedding to any dog who has to wait for their owner to return and my bath is cleaned and sanitised between clients.
It is therefore VERY upsetting when we hear about people who have not even used our services, telling horror stories to people they don't know, of pets being mistreated or going home having "caught" fleas or other pests from their appointment.
As a client, if you have an issue with your pets groomer - speak with them directly. Please DO NOT blast their business without first giving them a chance to rectify any issues. If you are really unhappy and don't feel you are being heard, go to someone else. There are plenty of us around. Not every groomer will be the right fit for you and/or your dog.
If you ever come across someone speaking ill of me or my business, please do not hesitate to let me know. These people can be the difference between groomers making a living, paying their bills and doing the job they love or having to close their business due to ignorance and false stories. Defamation is serious, especially when it affects people's mental health or their livelihoods.
