Sometimes a groom is about more than just looking good.
During today's appointment we checked on this handsome Golden Retriever's ear haematoma and compared it with his healthy ear so his family could continue monitoring his progress.
The good news is he'd already seen his vet and the swelling was improving. To help minimise head shaking while it continues to heal, he even went home with a pair of Happy Hoodies.
One of the things I love most about grooming is being part of a dog's care team. Sometimes it's a bath and deshed. Sometimes it's helping keep an eye on the little things while they're healing.
He was an absolute superstar throughout the whole process. ❤️

Nanook has an important announcement... 📢🐺

If you're using Malaseb for itchy skin, yeast, paws, ears or hot spots, don't make the mistake most people do...

⏰ Leave it on for the FULL 10 minutes.

Not 2 minutes.
Not 5 minutes.
Not "close enough".

The contact time is what allows the active ingredients to do their job properly.

Nanook isn't thrilled about waiting either... but even she knows the 10-minute rule matters. 😆

Have you ever tried keeping a husky occupied for 10 minutes in a bath?

Today we said goodbye to Sunny. 💙🐾

We first met Sunny and his family at the dog park, and over the last year or so he's become a familiar face around Dog Tales.

Today was his final visit before he heads off to New South Wales for a brand-new adventure with his family.

I don't think Sunny was too concerned about the move... although he did seem a little unsure when I explained that he was heading somewhere much colder than Cairns. 😂❄️

Thank you for all the cuddles, Sunny. It has been an absolute pleasure getting to know you and your wonderful family.

Wishing you safe travels, lots of new adventures, and plenty of exciting places to sniff in your new home.

Bon voyage, handsome boy. 💙🐾

Monty came in for a bath.

I came out wearing half of it. 💦😂

You know that moment when a dog looks you dead in the eye and decides NOW is the perfect time to shake?

Yeah... that happened.

Several times.

To be fair, Monty seemed to think sharing the water around was only polite. I, however, was less enthusiastic about the arrangement. 🤦‍♀️🐾

At least one of us had fun during bath time!

Leo has been coming to Dog Tales for over four years now, and he's one of those dogs that feels less like a client and more like part of the extended family 🩵

Over the years I've watched his family grow, welcomed new little human sisters into his world, and had the privilege of being part of his grooming journey through it all.

Today was just another one of Leo's regular spa days.

A relaxing bath.
A little head massage.
A few cuddles.
And plenty of opportunities to remind him just how handsome he is 😊

Some dogs come and go.

Others leave paw prints on your heart.

Leo is definitely one of those dogs 🐾💙

Some dogs tolerate the dryer.

Gibby? She practically moved in 😂

After a few bath-time complaints and one very enthusiastic shake, she settled in for her favourite part of the groom and soaked up every bit of attention.

And when I asked who was going camping this weekend... the head tilt appeared 🏕️💕

You're looking very beautiful, Gibby.

Let's see how long that lasts once you find some dirt 😅

Alpha had some VERY strong opinions about today’s blow wave 🗣️

Unfortunately Lola heard the complaints from the other end of the house and immediately joined the discussion 😂

Things escalated quickly… Including Lola howling at a VIDEO of herself howling at Alpha while Sam silently questioned every life choice that led him to this moment 🫠

The Dog Tales complaints department was fully operational today.

If your dog’s feet smell like corn chips… you’re not imagining it 👀🌽🐾

That musty “Fritos” smell is often caused by yeast or bacteria building up on the paws — especially in our humid Cairns climate.

Double-coated dogs that:
🐾 swim
🐾 play in wet grass
🐾 stay damp between the toes

can be especially prone to it.

The good news?
Catching it early is MUCH easier than waiting until the skin becomes red, inflamed and itchy.

Ari was thrilled with his foot treatment… obviously 😅🐺
