2021 National Lockdown

Dog groomers all over the country are left stuck between a rock and a hard place over the new announcement made by Mr Johnson on the 4th January 2021.

The official statement from the government under the category businesses that can remain open is:

‘Animal Rescue Centres, Boarding Facilities and animal groomers (May continue to be used for animal welfare, rather than aesthetic purposes)’

Now this statement, particularly the word ‘welfare’ is very much open to interpretation.

Some may say ‘welfare’ is regular visits to the dog groomer whilst others might say it would be emergency reasons only.

So, my wonderful clients, I am torn.
I would love this all to be over sooner rather than later therefore feel that by closing would support my community and NHS by us all sticking together and staying home. However I understand that in some cases your dog may really need to come visit me.

I’ve decided that the best way to go forward would be to leave it up to you.

If you feel that your dog will be able to miss an appointment and therefore not have an effect to his or hers welfare then please feel free to cancel your appointment.
(Please note that I will always be available to contact for brushing tips and any other queries you may have).

If you feel that missing an appointment will have an effect on your dog’s welfare then I will continue with the appointment with the same current covid practices that I have in place.

So if you have an appointment in the next 6 weeks I ask that you please contact me via direct message and let me know how you would like to proceed.

Thank you for your support.

Please take care and stay safe.
