Harleys Hounds Providing 1-2-1 dog grooming & teeth cleaning services for small & medium breeds in my relaxed salon based premises in Fobbing, Essex

Hi all,

Quick update!!

Don’t forget the price increase of £2-10 per dog is now in effect - this applies to everyone.
My books get super booked up as it gets warmer, please book in advance to avoid disappointment .
We all know it’s getting warmer so let’s be prepared!! Last minute appts are a rarity.
**During heatwaves - if your car has no air con, please reschedule your appt, your dog will not suffer a bit longer without being groomed but heat stroke is life threatening and only takes 10 minutes to happen. It’s not worth risking. If you have breeds with flat faces, are elderly, young, overweight, or super anxious, I will likely reschedule you if it’s too hot, as they are higher risk. My priority is always health and welfare of your dog. If your dog comes to me heavily panting or signs of heatstroke, I will not groom them!**

FLEAS - please keep up to date with flea treatments, the flea charge is £15 if your pet comes in with fleas. This puts others at risk of catching them. It’s simple to do and avoids so much hassle on my end. **Note - treatments in high street shops are not strong enough and don’t work. Please get treatments from a vets or I use a herbal powder called billy no mates that has worked wonders for my dogs**

As it’s getting hotter, grass seeds are rife!! These can be an expensive vet bill if tangled in your dog’s fur, please inspect them thoroughly all over after walks, to avoid them.

Also, can all owners ensure their dog has emptied their bladder and done their no2s before coming in!! I have way too many dogs coming in urinating and defecating. I’ve spent a lot of money and time on my lovely salon and really don’t want it getting ruined.

Thanks all! 🫶🏻🐶

Hey all!

As much as we love the heat, please be prepared for your furbabies, as it can be dangerous for them.
Heat stroke is life threatening so please be careful.

Ensure;
• No walkies unless first of last thing of the day
• Use mental enrichment instead of physical enrichment (it tires them out the same, without physically exhausting them)
• Fresh water always
• Use cool mats/ fans
• Wet their feet/ groin with cool (not cold) water or have a paddling pool for them
• Make some yoghurt iced treats for them
• Be aware of the signs of heat stroke!!
• Keep them in the shade where possible
• Ice cubes in their water can be used but only if they DONT have heatstroke (don’t use ice if your dog has heatstroke)

If your dog has heat stroke;
• Remain calm
• Offer a fully cool wet towel for them to lay on
• Wet their belly & paws with cool water
• Offer small amounts of cool water for them to drink slowly
• Move them to a cooler area
• Ring your vets and take them straight there as it is life threatening if not treated immediately!

Hopeful these tips are helpful 🫶🏻

Here’s the truth about running a grooming business…

Most people see the finished groom.
The bows.
The fluffy transformations.
The happy dog collections.

But behind every grooming business is a professional juggling:
✂️ Long hours on their feet
✂️ Physical strain on their body
✂️ Difficult client conversations
✂️ Last-minute cancellations
✂️ Endless cleaning and admin
✂️ Constant learning to improve standards and welfare

Dog grooming is more than “playing with dogs.”
It’s skill, education, patience, animal handling, coat knowledge, business management, and genuine dedication to pet welfare.

At British Isles Grooming Association we believe groomers deserve recognition as skilled professionals — because the work they do matters.

If you’re a groomer reading this…
Be proud of what you do. ❤️
