Mobile Dog Grooming for Curly Coats

16/10/2026

I made two new friends this week 🥰 Neither particularly curly, but with curly-pal privileges.

First the most melty puppy, Wendy Basset, who is the big little sister to our very own bedazzle-tailed Yzma. She did super for her first little practice groom, helping her get used to the bath & dryer, plus a bit of deshedding and a nail trim.

And then I met beautiful Doris the smoothie cockapoo who popped round to her best pal Teddy’s house to join his grooming appointment. Two scrummy doggies without having to pack up my kit or move my car in between? The dream! 🚗🐩🩷

There are a few factors that determine whether I can or will brush out a matted knotty tail:

1. How tight, wide and close to the skin the knots are - if they're too big or I can't get my fingers above them to take the tension of the brush, I'm chopping them out!

2. The dog's tolerance - different dogs are sensitive in different areas, some find even gentle tail handling difficult, so they would not be good candidates for intense brushing

3. The rest of the groom - if I've spent time brushing knots out of legs or faces to achieve something fluffy up front, I won't carry on to do the same with the tail

For Max here, everything fell into place. The knots were thin with good distance between them and the tail; he is comfortable with tail brushing (its his front feeties he's sensitive about 😂); and the rest of the groom was short and simple so I had plenty of tolerance and good will to play with.

With the help of my favourite detangling spray, a slicker brush and some careful attention, his beautiful tail lives to swoosh another day 😍

I'm baaack! And how lucky am I to have these faces waiting for me on my return to work 🐶

So far everything has gone smoothly, with the exception of 1/4 of a brand new bottle of premium double-concentrate shampoo leaking all over the boot of the car 😑😶‍🌫️🫧 Nevermind! The dogs are clean and trimmed and happy, so I'll call that a succesful week.

I have a few spaces left between now and Christmas, so if you want to get your dog's grooming organised for the rest of the year just drop me a message ✉️🐩💜

Last time I bought myself branded workwear I chose all black because I thought it would be easiest to match everything and look professional.

Many years and 2 children later, I’m confident in the fact that professional doesn’t have to mean boring. So get your sunglasses out, when I come back to work in a couple of weeks its going to be COLOURFUL

I am rather in denial about maternity leave coming to an end, its been a lovely summer; nevertheless I am now making bookings for October onwards! 🗓

I’ll be having a phased return, so appointments will be limited and first-come-first-serve. Please drop me a message with when your dog will be due for a groom and any particular days/times you are available and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

Behind the scenes I’ll be making a few changes to my schedule to make the best use of my time. Where possible I’ll be synchronising grooms local to each other, and will be more strict about keeping within my working hours. Unfortunately this does mean there may be a few dogs that I can’t efficiently reschedule – I’m really sorry to those I can’t find a sensible space for. The good news is that these changes mean I can get away without increasing prices this year. 💷

I hope you’ve all been well and look forward to hearing from you and seeing you (and more importantly, your dogs 😉) soon.

Can we believe little MiniClips is 4 whole months old?!

While I'm missing all those lovely doggos, I absolutely am not missing grooming in this heat 🥵 and am so pleased to have a bit more time to enjoy a family summer.

Plans are coming together for my return to work and I'll update you all in a few weeks. Depending on how child #1 gets on at school in September, we should be on track for appointments in October/November.

Hope you're all well and keeping safe

He's here! 🩵🤱

Baby Jacob arrived on Sunday, a neat little 7lb7. He's being a very accommodating fella as we try to catch up on rest. Speaking of which - I think its time for another nap! 😴🐩❤️

We made it! 37 weeks of pregnant grooming done and dusted with no disasters, I am now officially on maternity leave 🥳🤰

Thank you all so much for your patience, good wishes and gifts over these final weeks. I hope you all have a lovely summer and will be model customers for your covering groomers! 😇

The hopeful plan is to be back in October and I'll start making those bookings around August - but we'll see how we get on. I'll let you know when we have CurlyBaby news, see you all soon! 🤱🐩❤️

Well I am in full Power Through Until Mat Leave mode and as a result posting on social media has not quite made it to the top of my to-do list for a while.

So here are some of the caption ideas I had that I never got round to writing, you can choose which one you like the best and imagine an insightful yet entertaining post to accompany these pictures. It's like one of those 'choose your own adventure' books, except when you turn the page it's just blank and you have to make the adventure up for yourself 😅

Now cruising into the old 3rd trimester and (judging by the number of people who have kindly and rightly reminded me that I should take early maternity leave if I need it) I think CurlyBaby is getting fairly obvious 😅 So from here on there are just a couple of tweaks I need to make to the way I work and bits of help I might need. Little bit long and boring, sorry.

I know everyone says pregnant women shouldn't be lifting anything, but actually if I'm standing properly and lifting like they show on the health & safety manuals then I'm fine. The risk comes from walking around carrying things with one arm, when I'm in danger of doing something wonky or tripping over. So the basic rules are

✅️Lifting things under 10kg
✅️Lifting things over 10kg
✅️Carrying things under 10kg
❌️Carrying things over 10kg

So for all you dinky 10kg dogs I can lift on/off the table and in/out the bath, but I'll use a neck strap to walk them around the house rather than carry them.
My table is about 10kg so I can carry that fine and do all setup as normal. My equipment case is much heavier - I can lift it in and out of the car, but if you have tricky driveways / steppy thresholds / houses with lots of gates or steps where I can't wheel the case through and need to lift it, I'd appreciate a hand, or I'll move things in 2 separate trips.

That's it! Thank you all for your offers of help - 5 more working weeks to go (yes I'm excited for the time off 😂)🏋‍♀️ 🐩❤️
