EMILY’S FIRST FULL GROOMS… AND WE’RE SO PROUD!

It’s time for a little update on Emily’s progress, and we’re delighted to share some of her very first full grooms, completed from start to finish!

From the initial bath and thorough drying, right through to nail trimming, ear cleaning, hygiene work and the all-important full body trim, Emily has now started putting all those hours of learning into practice.

And what a fantastic job she’s made of them!
Are they the most elaborate, competition-standard transformations? Not quite (yet! 😉), but that’s not what we’re aiming for at this stage.
We’re building the foundations of a good groom:
- Thorough preparation and coat work.
- Confident, consistent clipper work.
- Developing sc******ng techniques.
- Learning to achieve a neat, balanced and tidy finish.

These are the skills that matter, and we’re incredibly pleased with how Emily is progressing.

MODEL DOGS STILL WANTED!

We’re still looking for suitable model dogs to help Emily gain experience, and there are some fantastic savings to be had!
We’re looking for:
- Coated breeds requiring a full groom.
- Short, relatively simple trims.
- Dogs who are reasonably well behaved and comfortable with the grooming process.

We’re not quite ready for elaborate styles just yet, so please save those continental poodle enquiries for another day!

Appointments will be HEAVILY DISCOUNTED while Emily continues developing her skills, with all work supervised by a qualified groomer.

If you’ve been thinking about taking advantage of one of these appointments, now is the time to get in touch!

Our availability before Christmas is already VERY limited, so don’t leave it until the last minute. If you’d like to support Emily’s training and grab yourself a discounted groom in the process, drop us a message with your dog’s breed and grooming requirements.

We’re so proud of how far she’s come already, and we can’t wait to see what she achieves next. Thank you to everyone who’s supported her journey so far!

🎃Happy Howl-o-ween from Norman! 🎃

Our very own salon poodle, Norman, is looking rather dapper after his fresh trim and is ready to wish all our wonderful customers a spook-tacular Halloween!

We hope you and your four-legged family members have a fang-tastic day filled with treats, tail wags and plenty of Halloween fun!

Thank you, as always, for your continued support and for being part of our grooming family. We hope you all have a wonderful Halloween!

Casey is taking a couple of days away from the grooming table this week to tackle some of the less glamorous parts of running a salon… the dreaded admin!

With the Christmas rush fast approaching, it’s time to get organised, catch up on paperwork and make sure everything is in order before we head into our busiest time of year.

Here’s how the week looks:
Tuesday 27th October: Jessica will be in the salon as usual
Wednesday 28th October: Both Jessica and Emily will be in the salon as usual

Although Casey won’t be grooming, the salon remains open as normal, and enquiries will be answered as usual — so please don’t hesitate to get in touch!

NOW BOOKING THROUGH TO THE END OF THE YEAR… AND INTO 2027!

We’re encouraging all our existing clients to get their remaining appointments booked in before Christmas to avoid disappointment. Availability is becoming increasingly limited, and we want to make sure all our regular pups are looking and feeling their best for the festive season.

We’re also opening our books for 2027 block bookings, so if you’d like to secure your dog’s regular grooming appointments well in advance, now is the perfect time!

Get in touch today to secure your appointments — whether you’re one of our lovely regulars or a new client looking to join us, we’d love to hear from you! We’re accepting new clients, and have generous discounts available for those who are happy for our apprentice Emily to practice her skills on.

Thank you, as always, for keeping us so busy and supporting our little salon. We can’t wait to see what the next few months bring!

Calm, comfortable and caring dental hygiene with Emmi Pet!

Just look at how relaxed this lovely girl is during her ultrasonic teeth cleaning session!

One of the things we love most about Emmi Pet is that the ultrasonic toothbrush works silently, without vibrations or invasive scraping, helping to make the experience as gentle and comfortable as possible for suitable dogs. No scary noises, no unnecessary stress — just a calm approach to supporting your dog's oral hygiene.

Why consider regular Emmi Pet teeth cleaning?
🐾 Helps manage plaque – supports better oral hygiene by helping to reduce plaque build-up.
🐾 Fresher breath – helps tackle the bacteria associated with unpleasant doggy breath.
🐾 Healthier gums – good dental hygiene helps support gum health and reduce the risk of problems associated with plaque.
🐾 A comfortable experience – the silent, non-invasive approach can be particularly helpful for dogs who are sensitive to noise or handling.
🐾 Preventative maintenance – regular dental care can help you stay on top of your dog's oral hygiene between veterinary dental checks.
🐾 Peace of mind for owners – making dental care part of your dog's regular routine helps you be more proactive about their wellbeing.

A little reminder: Emmi Pet is not a replacement for veterinary dental treatment. It cannot replace professional veterinary scaling, diagnose dental disease or treat advanced tartar and gum problems. If we have concerns about your dog's mouth, we'll recommend a veterinary assessment.

Ready to give your dog's dental hygiene some extra attention?

Get in touch today to book a consultation! We require a consultation before booking a full session so we can assess your dog's suitability and discuss their individual needs.

Let's work towards cleaner teeth, fresher breath and happier smiles!

From the competition ring back to the salon!

It was lovely to welcome this handsome boy back in for his regular appointment after our recent online competition success, and of course, I couldn’t resist a selfie with my award-winning partner!

A huge thank you to him and his owner for their continued cooperation, trust and support throughout this journey. Having dogs like him to work with makes opportunities like these possible, and I’m incredibly grateful to be able to keep developing my skills with such wonderful dogs.

But this thank you extends to ALL of our amazing regular customers, too!
Your loyalty, encouragement and continued trust in us mean more than you know. Every appointment, every kind word and every recommendation helps us grow, improve and pursue our passion. We genuinely couldn’t do it without you!

Whether you’re a long-standing customer or looking to join our salon family, now is the time to get your Christmas appointments booked!
Our festive diary is filling up quickly, and we’d hate for anyone to be disappointed. Please get in touch as soon as possible to secure your dog’s spot before the Christmas rush.

Drop us a message to book — don’t leave it until the last minute!

Thank you for being part of our journey. We appreciate every single one of you!

Meet Nala, our newest little client!

This gorgeous English Show Cocker Spaniel has joined us for her grooming journey, and we can’t wait to watch her grow in confidence with every visit!
Nala is also the perfect opportunity to talk about something we’re really passionate about here at the salon… puppy introductions!

“You have to wait until six months before taking your puppy to the groomers” — MYTH!

There’s no need to wait until six months to introduce your puppy to the grooming environment. In fact, waiting until they desperately need a full haircut can mean their first experience involves lots of unfamiliar handling, bathing, drying, brushing and clipping all at once.
By introducing puppies to grooming gradually, at an age-appropriate pace, we can help them become familiar with the sights, sounds and sensations of the salon before a full groom is needed.

Our puppy package is designed to do exactly that!

Through gentle introductions, positive experiences and gradual familiarisation with handling and equipment, we aim to build trust and help your puppy develop a comfortable relationship with grooming from the very beginning.
It’s not about rushing to get the perfect haircut — it’s about laying the foundations for a lifetime of positive grooming experiences.

Just welcomed a new puppy into your family? Don’t leave it until six months!
Get in touch to find out more about our puppy packages and let’s get your little one started on the right paw 🐾

✂️ EMILY IS READY FOR HER NEXT STEP — MODEL DOGS WANTED! ✂️
Following on from our introduction to Emily, we’re delighted to share that, thanks to her hard work, dedication and fantastic progress over the last few months, she’s now ready to start developing her clipping and sc******ng skills on some lovely model dogs!

We’re so pleased with how Emily is progressing. Her attention to detail, thoroughness and enthusiasm have been fantastic, and we’re more than confident in her abilities. However, as with any skill, learning takes time, patience and practice — and that’s where you and your four-legged friends can help!

🐶 WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
We’re looking for coated breeds who are due a full groom, including clipping and/or sc******ng. These appointments will be HEAVILY DISCOUNTED in return for helping Emily gain valuable hands-on experience!

A few important things to consider before getting in touch:
- Your dog must be reasonably well behaved and comfortable with the grooming process.
- Training appointments will take longer than a standard groom, as Emily needs the time to work carefully and develop her techniques.
- All appointments will be fully supervised by a qualified groomer. We’re confident in Emily’s potential, but while she’s learning, the finished groom may not be quite as polished or precise as you’d expect from an experienced groomer. There may be small imperfections in the clipping or sc******ng, and owners must be happy to accept this in exchange for the discounted rate.

WHO CAN APPLY?
Both our existing clients and new customers are welcome to enquire! We’d love to give Emily the opportunity to work with a variety of coats, breeds and styles as she continues her training.
For new clients, please be aware that if your dog’s behaviour or tolerance of the grooming process makes it unsuitable for a trainee appointment, a qualified groomer may need to take over to ensure your dog’s welfare. If this happens, the full standard grooming price will apply, rather than the discounted trainee rate.
We’ll always prioritise your dog’s safety and wellbeing, and our qualified groomers will be on hand to support Emily throughout the appointment.

WANT TO HELP EMILY LEARN WHILE BAGGING YOURSELF A BARGAIN?

We’d love to hear from you! Send us a message with your dog’s breed, coat type and a little information about their usual grooming routine, and we can discuss whether they’d be suitable for one of Emily’s trainee appointments.

Your support means so much to us, and we’re excited to help Emily build her confidence and develop her skills. Thank you for being part of our journey and helping us nurture the next generation of professional dog groomers!

💚A little salon update, and some VERY exciting news! 💚

Firstly, we’d like to apologise for any delays in responding to messages this week. Between time off for a dog show and staff illness, we’ve fallen a little behind on our admin. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding while we catch up! We believe we’re all up to date, but if you haven’t heard from us please reach out again.

However, we have some absolutely incredible news to share… our very own salon dog, Snoopy, has qualified for CRUFTS! 🏆

We genuinely couldn’t be prouder of this boy. Behind this achievement has been a huge amount of hard work, dedication, learning and commitment, and to see it all coming together is such a special feeling.
A massive thank you to everyone who has supported our journey, followed our progress and taken the time to wish us well along the way. Every kind word, bit of encouragement and show of support means more than you know.

This is only the beginning, and we honestly can’t wait to see where this boy takes us next. The sky is the limit!

And, of course, this journey has only strengthened our passion for spaniels and their beautiful coats!

SPANIEL OWNERS — WE’D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU!

If you’re interested in hand stripping, developing a breed-standard trim or simply learning more about the best way to care for your spaniel’s coat, please get in touch. We’re always happy to answer questions, discuss your dog’s individual needs and help you work towards the best possible
finish.

Drop us a message to enquire or book your spaniel’s next appointment!
Thank you for being part of our journey. Here’s to the next chapter!
