After a very challenging few months, we just wanted to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you to all of our wonderful customers for your patience and support.

We know we haven’t been as quick to reply to messages or as available in the salon as usual, and we truly appreciate your understanding. As some of you may know, one of our team members sadly lost her husband and has needed to take time away from work, while another became seriously unwell last November following a cardiac arrest. It’s been an incredibly difficult period for us all.

We’re now starting to find our feet again and return to normal, and we’re so grateful for your kindness if we’ve had to rearrange or cancel appointments along the way.

We’re also very happy to share that our Courtney is back full-time and has made a great recovery. While we’re missing not having our lovely Jane in the salon as much, you may still see her popping in from time to time for a coffee and a catch-up.

Thank you again for your continued support, it truly means the world to us. Here’s to a brighter and happier 2026!

🐾 A Friendly Note on Salon Safety & Timing 🐾

To all our wonderful human and furry clients, we want to say a huge thank you for your ongoing support! To keep our salon a calm, safe, and happy place for every dog, we have a small request regarding arrival times.

Arriving Early to appointments-
While we appreciate punctuality, please try to arrive no more than 5 minutes before your scheduled appointment. When clients arrive 15, 20, or even 30 minutes early, it can cause a bit of a problem for several reasons:

• Safety First: Having too many dogs in the salon at once makes it difficult for us to give everyone the focused supervision they deserve. We pride ourselves on keeping a very close eye on every dog!

• Dogs currently on the grooming table can get very excited or anxious when they see a new person or dog walk in. A sudden distraction while we are using sharp equipment can lead to accidents or set our grooming schedule behind.

• We aim to keep the salon as low-stress as possible. Fewer "comings and goings" mean the dogs currently being pampered on the table stay relaxed.

A Note on Our Safety Gate ⛔
For the safety of all our four-legged friends, please do not open the safety gate unless a member of the team specifically tells you to! Our gates are a vital line of defense to ensure no dog can make a "great escape" when the front door opens. We will always come to greet you and safely transition your dog!

We truly appreciate your cooperation in helping us keep our salon a safe, focused, and stress-free environment for your beloved pets. We can't wait to see you (at your scheduled time!) soon! 🐶❤️

🚨🚨🚨🚨
Hello everyone! 👋
Just a few friendly reminders to help us keep everything running smoothly

🐾 Arrival Times
Please arrive as close to your appointment time as possible — not too early or too late. This really helps us manage changeovers efficiently and ensures we stay on schedule for the rest of the day. ⏰

✂️ Grooming Duration
Grooms typically take between 1.5 to 2 hours (sometimes a little longer). We always aim for the estimated time given, but we never want to rush perfection! Thank you for your patience and understanding 🫶

🐶 Pick-Up Procedure
Please wait until we call you before returning to collect your dog. Early arrivals can make pups excited and restless, making it difficult for us to safely complete their groom. Thank you for helping us keep the process calm and stress-free! 🐕✨

🚪🐾 Safety First!
Please do not open the gate when entering the salon — it’s there to keep all our furry friends safe and secure! 💕
We’ll happily open the gate and invite you in once we know it’s completely safe to do so. Thank you so much for helping us keep every pup protected! 🐶✨

💸 Cancellations & No-Shows
• Cancellations made within 24 hours of your appointment will incur a 50% fee, as it doesn’t give us enough time to fill the slot.
• No-shows will also be charged 50% of the missed appointment. As a small business, these instances have a big impact, so we truly appreciate your understanding and support.
Please note that future appointments cannot be made until outstanding fees are paid.

🌟 Thank You!
We’re so grateful for your ongoing support and for helping us keep things running smoothly. Your cooperation means the world to us! 🤍

With warm regards,
The Crew 🐾

Breaking news! Groomer discovers cloud disguised as Riley’s undercoat ☁️🐾

Riley came in for a bath & de-shed and was such a superstar!💫We brushed out a whole fluff pile (not counting the clouds of fur swirling in the tub🛁) and now she’s looking sleek, shiny, and ready for cuddles without the extra hair.💖
