Bear’s Necessities Dog Grooming Salon

17/03/2025

To all of my amazing customers,

It is with a very heavy heart that I must now announce the closure of Bear’s Necessities.

Please know that the decision to close was not an easy one for me to make. I had every intention of returning to the salon after my maternity leave, however my daughter’s childhood is something I do not want to miss out on 🥺

I would like to express my deepest gratitude for your constant and instant loyalty and support, your trust and your patience this last year. Within a week of opening my salon doors, I had a full diary and amazing 5* reviews. There is no better feeling than hearing the words “I won’t go anywhere else” so I thank you for always choosing me 🥰

I have come across the most amazing dogs over the last 3 years who always made my days a little brighter, but I have also lost some along the way and I will keep them in my heart forever.

I will always take great pride that Bear’s Necessities was mine and it will have its time to shine again one day, but for now it is goodbye 🤍

Lots of love,
Hollie, Bear and baby Islay xx

✨ Just a little update ✨

On Monday 15th July, we welcomed baby Islay into the world 🌸 The sweetest little bundle of joy ☀️

Other than running on very little sleep, we are all doing great. Although, Bear is continuously wondering if we kept her receipt 🤭🐻

I will keep you all updated as to when I will be back in the salon, but for now I am enjoying my newborn bubble 🤍

See you all soon

🍼👶🏼 *TEMPORARILY CLOSED* 👶🏼🍼

All grooming has now been put “on paws” until further notice as I am on maternity leave✨

I have spent my last few weeks exactly how I wanted; keeping busy and surrounded by all of my furry favourites 🥹

Although the salon is closed, it is only temporary and it will be waiting for me when I return. I will keep you all updated as to when I am back 🤩

Thank you for your gifts and all of your love and well wishes; you are the best 😍

I do have some amazing groomers that I can recommend in the meantime and they are more than happy to take on some new customers 🐶 Please feel free to drop me a message and I will send their details over ✂️

But for now, it’s time to sign off, relax and get ready for a whole new adventure 👶🏼

See you soon 🩷
