Helen's Dog Grooming and Pet Sitting Services

28/11/2025

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to reach out and let you all know that due to unforeseen circumstances I am having to temporarily close down my business, effective immediately. I am aiming to re-start but at the moment I can't say when that will be.

I would like to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you for your support and for trusting me with your gorgeous pets.

Any deposits paid for upcoming grooms will be refunded.

Kind regards,

Helen

Beautiful Lexi came to see me for the first time today. She was so good for her groom and loved the cuddles and the treats when we finished.

Pets have their little routines… and we have our little worries.

Today I've been on a little bit of a learning and personal growth adventure. I've been tuning in to the Pet Pro Expo 2025 in Birmingham — streaming live via Zoom! It’s been great fun listening to coaches and experts in areas such as mindset, social media, HR, pensions, pricing, work/life balance, accounting, money mindset, marketing and goal setting.

Even from a distance, I've been picking up lots of new ideas and inspiration that will help me bring different content going forwards. I've also had my eyes opened in areas that I hadn't thought about or been exposed to before.

I love learning and improving so I can serve you (and your pets) even better.

Senior dogs don’t need “more” — they need “different.”

As dogs get older, their needs change — and I tailor both grooming and pet sitting to make sure they always feel safe, comfortable and understood.

✂️ Senior grooming:
• Gentle handling and extra time
• Supportive positioning and non-slip mats
• Calm, unrushed sessions

🏡 Senior pet sitting:
• Shorter, slower walks
• Medication given as instructed
• Extra toilet breaks and companionship

15 years ago, Cleo & Molly started their journey with five other litter mates. Today, they’re still side by side and the best of friends — proving that real friendship only gets stronger with age.

I recently spent a long weekend with them. We went out for toilet breaks every 2–3 hours. Instead of long walks, they pottered around the field next to the house at their own pace, turning back when they were ready. Medication was given exactly as instructed, and most of the time they simply enjoyed having someone there while they slept.

Not sure what your senior dog needs? Pop me a message on 07435 897205 and we’ll chat through the options together.

Think you need to wait 6 months before your puppy’s first groom?

You don’t have to.

Once your puppy has had their vaccinations and is comfortable being handled, introducing them to grooming early is actually really helpful.

The first sessions are short and gentle. They’re designed to help your puppy get used to:

* Being brushed
* A light bath
* The sounds of the dryer and clippers
* Calm handling and reassurance

Starting early builds confidence and makes grooming a normal, stress-free part of life as they grow.

Not sure if your puppy is ready? Send me a message with their age and I’ll advise you.

💚 National Canine Lymphoma Awareness Day - November 7th 💚

Today, we’re wearing green for all the dogs and families affected by lymphoma.

Our dogs aren’t “just pets” — they’re part of the family.
Lymphoma is one of the most common cancers in dogs, and knowing the early signs can make such a difference.

💚 Learn the symptoms
💚 Trust your instincts
💚 Treasure every moment

To every pup fighting, every survivor, and every much-loved dog we hold in our hearts — we’re thinking of you.

Give your dogs an extra cuddle today.

Nothing makes me happier than knowing the dogs I work with enjoy their visit and leave looking fresh and tidy.

Thank you, Graham, for taking the time to share your experience. 🐾💜

Pet Cancer Awareness Month

When your dog is on my grooming table, I see and feel areas that can easily be missed at home —
behind the ears, under the legs, along the belly, tail base and more.

I’m not a vet, but I am hands-on with your dog regularly.
If I ever notice something unusual — a lump, bump, sore spot — I’ll let you know.

Grooming isn’t just about looking good.
It’s about keeping your dog healthy. 💜
