🐾 A little something special….

I’m so excited to be putting together something NEW for our local pet community this September…

✨ The Pros 4 Pets UK Autumn Show ✨

This will be a relaxed, community focused afternoon, bringing together local pet professionals and pet owners, with:

🐕 fun dog show classes
🎤 live demos (already in the works 👀)
🛍️ local pet businesses & services
☕ food, coffee & a great atmosphere

I’ve already got some amazing local professionals involved, including guest judges and demo sessions 🥳

💛 As one of my registered Pros, you’ll get first access to stall spaces, with free or discounted options available (I may ask for a small raffle prize donation).

It’s a great opportunity to meet local pet owners, showcase what you do, and even get creative with your stall—whether that’s a little demo, game or interactive idea to draw people in 🐾

📍 Turners Hill, West Sussex

I didn’t know there was anything wrong……..

How often do you visit your vet with your dog – every year for his/her booster jab?

Your dog visits the groomer every 6 to 8 weeks for a bath, trim, and tidy.
But sometimes, they leave with something even more important than a fresh look-a warning sign you didn’t know was there.

Dog groomers aren’t vets, and they don’t pretend to be.
But they’re often the first person to notice when something’s not quite right.
A lump under the skin.
A sore spot under the leg.
A red rash behind the ears.
An ear infection that smells off.
A cracked pad. A bald patch. A behavioural change.

They work so closely with your dog-physically and emotionally-that they often spot small but important changes. The ones that can be easy to miss at home, especially on long or thick coats. And because they see your dog regularly, they know what’s normal and what’s not.

These aren’t just observations - they could be early signs of:
• Skin infections
• Ear mites or yeast infections
• Growths that need checking
• Eye problems
• Tooth or gum issues
• Joint stiffness or discomfort
• Stress or anxiety

And when a groomer mentions something they’ve noticed, it’s not to scare you.
It’s because they care. They want your dog to be happy, healthy, and comfortable-long after they’ve left the salon.
That’s what makes a good groomer more than a stylist. They’re part of your dog’s care team.

They clean. They clip. They calm nervous dogs. And they keep watch over every inch of your dog’s body and behaviour-every time they visit.

Professional groomers take their responsibilities seriously. Many are trained to recognised industry standards, hold Level 2 or Level 3 qualifications, and are members of the British Dog Groomers' Association (BDGA) - a division of the Pet Industry Federation (PIF).

That means they don’t just work with love and care-they work with knowledge. And they commit to professional development, safe practices, and doing what’s best for every dog in their care.

So the next time your groomer quietly mentions something they’ve noticed - listen. It could be nothing. But it could also be the early warning that helps you take action before a small issue becomes a big one.
Your dog can’t always tell you when something’s wrong.
But your groomer might.

And never forget-they’re doing far more than making your dog look good.

WHAT YOU DON'T SEE AT THE DOG GROOMERS.......
You dropped your dog off at the salon and picked them up few hours later - fluffy, fresh, and happy. But what you saw was just the tip of the iceberg.

You didn’t see your groomer arrive early to open up the salon, disinfect tools, lay out fresh towels, and check the day’s appointments. You didn’t see them look over your dog from nose to tail before even lifting a brush - checking the coat condition, skin, eyes, ears, nails, and weight.

You didn’t see the careful way they clipped around a wriggly paw, or how they paused to let your dog calm down during the bath. You didn’t notice the matting hidden beneath your dog’s topcoat, or the way the groomer worked slowly to avoid hurting the skin beneath it.

You weren’t there when they spotted a red patch of irritated skin, or a small lump you hadn’t noticed. You heard them gently mention it to you at collection - not to worry you, but because they genuinely care about your dog’s wellbeing.

And after you left, you didn’t see the clean-down , the floor swept, tables cleaned, blades oiled, messages replied to, notes written up for your next visit, and laundry on again.

All of that… for a price that’s often lower than what you’d pay for your own haircut. And your hairdresser?
They don’t have to bathe you, clip your nails, or hold you still while you try to bite the brush.

The truth is ……. dog grooming is so much more than a haircut.

It’s about health, hygiene, comfort, and trust. It’s about knowing dog anatomy, coat types, skin conditions, behaviour management, handling skills, and safe sc******ng techniques. It’s a profession that takes training, practice, and patience.
Most groomers got into this work because they love dogs. But that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be paid fairly for the physical, emotional, and skilled work they do every single day.

If your dog leaves their groomer happy, healthy and looking good - it’s not by luck. It’s because you have got a good groomer.
So next time, take a moment to thank them. Leave a review.

Tip them if you can. And above all - don’t undervalue them.
They’re doing far more than just washing the dog.

Dog Poisoned by the Diffuser.
On Saturday night, the owner arrived home late, and the dog didn’t recognize him. Given her background as a nanny, she assumed the pup might have been startled awake or even experiencing a night terror. However, on Sunday, the dog was still acting off. That’s when she remembered her new diffuser had been running and decided to turn it off. By Sunday afternoon, things seemed a bit better.

The next day, the dog sitter mentioned that the dog wouldn’t come out from under the bed—a real surprise for a usually cheerful pet. The owner hurried home early and found her dog looking confused and scared once again. Alarmed, she took him to the emergency vet.

It turned out that the tea tree oil used in the diffuser is toxic to dogs. Fortunately, tests showed that his liver was okay, but the situation was still serious. The vet administered fluids under his skin to help eliminate the toxins.

According to both the vet and poison control, these cases are becoming more common as essential oils grow in popularity. They urge everyone to double-check that the oils they’re using aren’t hazardous to their pets. ThePaws.net - All Things Dog
