To My Dear Customers,

It is with great sorrow that I am announcing the permanent closure of Hairy Dog Grooming Salon’s doors at the end of August 2022 (final date to be confirmed).

As most of you know, the kennels where I rent my salon are closing due to a retirement sale. I have spent many months looking at alternative options to be able to continue grooming, however due to a deteriorating health condition I have struggled with since starting the business coupled with the long daily commute I have regretfully decided not to continue my business in Dartmouth.

It has been a really tough and sad decision that I’ve had to make. You have been remarkable and loyal clients; many of you have become friends. I have known most of you for many years, grooming your dogs for the majority of their lives, and in some cases welcoming new additions to your families.

I’d like to offer my sincere thanks to all of you for spreading the word about my services, I’ve always been kept happily busy and have welcomed many new customers over the years and have been very proud of the success that Hairy Dog has become.

It has been an incredibly tough decision knowing that I won’t see a lot of my customers, because I do indeed love all of my Hairy Dog pack as if they were my own, but I sincerely want to thank each and every one of you for your kindness, and for trusting me with the care of your dogs for all these years.

I am working extra hours throughout August to fit everyone in so if your dogs due a groom please get in contact asap as spaces are limited.

If anyone would like information for local groomers please let me know, and if you’d like information regarding your dogs grooming to pass to a new groomer, I’d be happy to share it.

Best wishes

Helen

I’ve been keeping a close eye on the weather forecasts due to the predicted heat waves and will continue to monitor into next week. While I understand the heat is an issue, Hairy Dog salon is kept pretty cool and so far the temperature has been contained at a decent level and all dogs have been calm and ok during grooming and go home feeling much better for having their coat brushed and cut shorter. I will continue with appointments next week but have brought all appointments to early morning and close for the afternoon once they’re done. If the temperature gets too hot I will close and customers will be informed as soon as I can so please bear this in mind if you’re booked in next week.

In the mean time, offer your dogs plenty of cool fresh water, cooling pads are great for them, make sure their coats are well brushed so that cool air can help them regulate their temp, and DO NOT walk them in the daytime.

PLEASE STOP WALKING YOUR DOGS IN THIS HEAT!

Dogs are so faithful they will walk by our sides no matter what, but this heat is too much for them, the floor is HOT, you try walking around with no shoes on when the sun is blazing, on hot tarmac and pavements and see how your feet feel at the end of the day.
Common sense people, leave your dogs at home during the day, somewhere cool with plenty of fresh water…leave the walks for super early in the morning or later in the evening when it’s cooler.

Sorry for the post but I’m so fed up of seeing dogs being dragged through town in this heat.

I don’t know if this has been posted before but it’s certainly worth a repost, especially if we get the heatwave they’re predicting over the next few months…

It won’t kill your dog to miss a few walks….the heat will kill them…

This silly sausage won’t even consider letting me dry her unless her towel is wrapped firmly around her head!! ❤️
