Good morning!

🤍 Meet Milky & Silky 🤍

These two stunning Ragdoll siblings came in for their first professional grooms yesterday — and what a pair of beauties they are! 🤍 With their silky coats and those big, gentle eyes, it’s no wonder Ragdolls are often described as the “puppies of the cat world.”

Ragdolls are known for their calm, affectionate nature and their tendency to go floppy when held (hence the name). They usually adore human company, following their families from room to room, and many are happy to be carried about. Their semi-long coats are wonderfully soft but can tangle if left too long, so regular grooming really helps keep them looking and feeling their best.

Milky and Silky were absolute stars for their pamper sessions, showing off just why Ragdolls are such a beloved breed. ✨ I can’t wait to see these two again.

Is getting your cat in the cat carrier a wrestling match? Does your cat hide underneath your bed or the couch and refuse to move as soon as you bring out the cat carrier?

It doesn’t have to be that way!

One simple solution is to keep your cat carrier out in a well-trafficked room so it has all the smells of your home and your cat can investigate the carrier and even rest in it when they want to.

Follow along for more and tips for vet visits- and a resource!

✨ “The Champneys for Cats” ✨

That’s how Louis’ mum described Bentley & Bear after his recent visit — and I have to say, I love that! 🐾

Louis came in with a coat that we initially thought might need to be shaved off.

With time, patience, and gentle techniques, I was able to tease it out instead and leave him looking and feeling fabulous.

It was such a joy to see him relax into his groom, and I’m already looking forward to welcoming him back for his next “spa day.” 💛

✨ Meet Zeus ✨

As a youngster, this handsome French Bulldog, Zeus, suffered from severely infected ears which were very uncomfortable for him back then and to this day he can be reactive around handling of that area. On top of that, his allergies mean his skin folds can become very sore and sensitive too. Not a good combo when you need to apply medication!

After a lovely meet and treat his Dad brought him to see me today to see if we could get his nails shorter, we thought it would be difficult — funnily enough, the nails turned out to be the easy part! ✅

Because Zeus’ facial folds are currently quite sore, I chose to leave that area well alone and recommended a vet visit for extra support. Respecting what an animal shows me is always my priority.

Zeus body had a good wash to help rid his coat of any topical allergens, he handled the dryer which he’d never experienced before with aplomb and we clipped all of those nails which means walking will be more comfortable — a big win for this gorgeous hunk. 💛

💧 After I shared about upgrading my water in the groom room with the Hello Klean filter last week, so many of you messaged me saying you’d never thought about how hard water affects pets (or your own hair and skin!).

I’ve had such lovely feedback already — and I completely get it. I noticed the difference at home first, which is exactly why I researched and then brought it into the groom room. Softer water = happier skin, healthier coats, and shinier results all round. ✨🐾

A few of you asked where you can get one so I’ve included a link for you

https://email.noreply.snwbl.io/c/eJw0yb1OBCEQAOCngXLDAAszBYUxwc7Oxo6f2dxGAheO87Jvb2X91WC4FKhecgC_OyLUO8lbILRIme3hrck6oYLdYPLJG1Lq8CDPUBwYVwsgoiMCMtnlUoFctVRJWWFVH5Pv7doe_ZXbdg7Zwm2t-0OYN6Gj0PEfhI7juYSO6_34_vx6fcgZSpqjnZ2FVZn7anylXjOnuZWxPX_kb9B_AQAA__8D9Dl7

Small change, big difference. 💛

On a personal note, sorry it’s not dog related but their shampoo (I use the anti breakage) and conditioner and body washes are superb! Even my friends who have stayed over and used my shampoo have commented how good they are. Ask my bestie Katrina Juby if my word isn’t enough.

Happy shopping 🛍️

Hello Klean

Got a much welcomed message last night and I’m pleased to report that after 71 days Alfie the tabby who went missing in Studham is now home! Absolutely delighted for the family. 😻

Now we just need to find gorgeous fluffy Tyga who went missing after hitching a sneaky lift to the tip in Thorn. She jumped out on arrival and hasn’t been seen since. Keep your eyes peeled. Her coat will be pretty much fully grown again and she was prone to getting matts if not regularly groomed so she may start to get some knots.

I had the pleasure of attending Groomfest today 🐾

One of the best parts of events like this is the community spirit — grooming can sometimes feel like a solitary job, so it’s uplifting when we come together to share, learn and cheer each other on, no matter our skill-set, levels or niches.

It was especially lovely to meet up with Jema from The Dog Groomer Luton for lunch and I’m sure that will not be our last time, we enjoyed a good mooch around the stands. Great to finally meet Sylvia from , a fellow holistic groomer from Sandy whose outlook I admire.

The fabulous Julie Harris delivered an informative (and funny!) presentation on cat grooming, and I treated myself to one of her cat shampoo bars which I’m eager to try out this week.

I caught a few dog grooming demo sessions too — though it was sometimes tricky to see and hear everything, I still picked up some helpful tips. I’m not sure any of my current clients would warrant anything other than a functional pet-trim but I can admire the creativity, skill and beauty of some of these grooms. I saw no stressed out dogs today which was great.

Of course, a little retail therapy was inevitable:
✨ A state-of-the-art neck dryer — I’ll be introducing it gently so my more sensitive dogs can feel at ease.
✨ A soft anti-fatigue table mat, so paws don’t have to stand on hard surfaces for long periods.
✨ A paw wash designed for pups who like to nibble their toes — curious to see how it helps.
✨ And a beautifully made tail comb from Verity Hardcastle at , perfect for those neat little Yorkie topknots.

Days like today remind me why I love being part of this industry — we’re all learning and supporting one another no matter our area of expertise.

Heads up! 🐾

l will be closed tomorrow (Monday) as I’m heading up north to Groomfest for an education day!

After a few days battling a stinking cold 🤧, I’m really looking forward to recharging some brain cells, discovering new styling tips ✂️ and tricks and products 🧼 to keep your pets’ coats looking and feeling their best, whilst always continuing to apply my knowledge 📖 of low-stess and supportive grooming practices 🙌🏻 to help your pets feel comfortable and secure during their sessions.

Plus I need new clippers, all of mine have hit the deck too many times! 🤪

I’ll be back on Tuesday and will respond to messages then.
Thank you. 🩷

😻 Pics for attention! My handsome buddies, Fifty & Shady, who are always the goodest boi’s for their grooms . 😻
