💜 A little reflection as we head towards the busiest time of the year… 🐾

I’ve been thinking a lot recently about running a small business, doing something I genuinely love and finding that sometimes rather elusive thing called balance!

Love to Paws is something I’ve poured an enormous amount of time, energy and heart into building, and I’m incredibly proud of the care and attention I give to every dog and cat who comes through my door.

But running a business on your own is about so much more than the hours spent in the salon.

There’s the admin, appointments, messages, marketing, planning, ordering, creating those little extras and countless jobs that happen behind the scenes.

And even when the salon doors are closed, my mind is often still working!

In fact, I’ve recently enjoyed a lovely weekend away, deliberately taking a little time out for myself. Yet somehow, I’ve still found myself working on Christmas spa packages, VIP plans and everything else I want to have ready! 😂

And I think that’s when it really struck me.

When you love what you do, it’s incredibly easy to give so much of yourself to your business and everyone else that you forget to leave enough time for yourself.

I want to enjoy more time with friends and family, have adventures, make memories and occasionally enjoy a day without feeling guilty that I should be doing something productive.

I’ve also got other interests and projects I’m really enjoying developing, and I’d love to give those more of my time too.

Because as much as I love Love to Paws, there’s more to life than work. 💜

So, as we head towards Christmas and start looking ahead to a new year, I’m reminding myself that finding a little more balance matters.

I’ll always take enormous pride in looking after the wonderful animals entrusted to my care, but I’m also learning that it’s okay to protect a little time for myself.

After all, I love what I do, but I also want to make sure I’m enjoying the life I’ve worked so hard to build. 💜🐾

November is Pet Cancer Awareness Month 💜🐾

It’s never something any of us want to think about, but being familiar with what’s normal for your pet can make such a difference.

Regularly checking your pet at home — noticing any new lumps or bumps, changes in appetite, weight, energy levels, behaviour or anything that simply doesn’t feel quite right — means you’re more likely to spot a change early.

And grooming can play a small but useful part too. When we’re regularly handling your pet, sometimes we notice things hidden beneath their coat that may otherwise be difficult to see.

Most changes won’t automatically mean something serious, but if you ever notice anything unusual, it’s always worth having a chat with your vet.

This month is simply a little reminder to know your pet, check them regularly and never be afraid to get something checked if you’re unsure. 💜

🎃🐾 Happy Halloween from Love to Paws! 🐾🎃

Wishing all of my wonderful customers and their much-loved dogs and cats a very happy Halloween. 💜

Whether your evening involves pumpkin carving, cosy cuddles, autumn treats or hiding away from the doorbell, I hope it is a safe and lovely one.

Please remember to keep sweets, chocolate, decorations and lit pumpkins safely out of reach, and give pets a quiet space if costumes, visitors or unexpected noises become a little too much.

Marnie, Reggie, Alfie and I hope you have a truly spooktacular evening! 🎃👻🐾

🎃🐾 Before you bin the flesh… 🐾🎃

With Halloween tomorrow, lots of pumpkins will be carved and ready to glow — but the plain flesh does not necessarily need to go straight in the bin!

Plain pumpkin contains fibre and can be a lovely little seasonal addition to your dog’s usual food. Simply roast or cook it until soft, allow it to cool and offer a small amount mashed into their meal. Keep it completely plain, with no butter, oil, salt, sugar or spices.

As with any extra treat, moderation matters, and it should remain a small part of your dog’s balanced diet. Avoid pumpkin pie filling or sweetened pumpkin products, which may contain unsuitable or even harmful added ingredients.

Only use fresh, clean flesh prepared before carving. Once a pumpkin has been sitting outside, started to spoil or had a candle burning inside it, it belongs in the bin rather than your dog’s bowl.

A simple way to reduce a little Halloween waste while giving your dog an autumnal treat — and I am sure plenty of them will be very happy to help! 🎃💜🐾

🎆🐾 Bonfire Night is approaching — preparation really does matter 🐾🎆

Firework season can be incredibly frightening for both dogs and cats, so now is a good time to begin preparing rather than waiting until the first loud bang.

Create a quiet, secure space where your pet can retreat if they feel worried. Add familiar bedding, favourite toys and anything that helps them feel safe. Close curtains, keep windows and doors securely shut, and use the television or radio to soften some of the outside noise.

Try to walk dogs earlier in the day, before fireworks are likely to begin, and keep cats safely indoors overnight with access to food, water and a litter tray. It is also worth checking that microchip details and identification tags are up to date, just in case they become frightened and attempt to escape.

Some pets may benefit from calming products or very gentle sound preparation, but never force them to face something that is causing distress. If your pet becomes extremely anxious around fireworks, please speak to your vet well in advance, as they may be able to offer additional support.

Stay calm, allow your pet to hide if they need to, and offer comfort when they seek it. Every pet responds differently, but a little preparation now can help make firework season feel much safer for them. 💜🐾

☀️🐾 A sunny Wednesday at Love to Paws! 💜

How lovely to see the sunshine back today, even if there's definitely a chilly autumn nip in the air! 🍂

It's been another gorgeous day in the salon with three wonderful visitors.

💜 First up was the lovely Tippi, who joined me for her regular pamper. Always a pleasure to see this gorgeous girl!

🐾 Next was beautiful Lola, back for her regular groom and pamper, leaving looking and feeling fabulous!

💜 And finishing off the day was the very handsome Bruno, who came in for a full de-shed. Oh my goodness, the amount of fluff! 😂🐾 Such a handsome boy, and I'm sure he's feeling much lighter now!

A lovely way to round off another busy week in the salon. 💜

Just a little reminder that November is filling up, with only limited appointments remaining for dog grooming, teeth cleaning and cat grooming clinics.

If you've been meaning to get your dog or cat booked in, or would like to find out more about any of my services, please do get in touch. I'd love to help where I can, but once those remaining spaces are gone, availability will be very limited as we head towards Christmas. 🎄🐾

Wishing you all a lovely Wednesday evening! 💜🐾

🎄🐾 A little Christmas diary reminder 🐾🎄

Christmas appointments at Love to Paws (both November and December) are filling incredibly quickly, so this is a gentle nudge to please check that your pet is booked in if you would like them groomed before the big day.

I know Christmas can still feel a little way off, but the diary tells a very different story! As a one-woman salon, there are only so many appointments I can safely fit into each day while still giving every pet the calm, individual care they deserve.

I will always do my very best to help, but once the remaining spaces have gone, I simply cannot create extra hours in December.

So please do not leave it until the last minute and hope that something will be available. Booking now gives you the best chance of securing an appointment that suits you and ensures your pet can look, feel and smell gorgeous for Christmas.

Thank you, as always, for keeping me so wonderfully busy and trusting me with your much-loved pets. 💜🐾

🐈‍⬛🖤 National Black Cat Day 🖤🐈‍⬛

With Halloween just around the corner, today is the perfect time to celebrate the beautiful black cats who are so often linked with all things spooky and mysterious.

For far too long, black cats have been surrounded by old superstitions, but anyone lucky enough to share their life with one will know that they are every bit as loving, playful, cheeky and individual as any other cat.

Their glossy coats, bright eyes and wonderful personalities deserve to be celebrated — not overlooked or feared.

So, as the pumpkins appear and Halloween draws closer, let’s give a little extra love to every beautiful black cat and remember that they bring far more magic into our lives than mischief. 💜🐾
