Happy 1st Birthday to Fergus! 🎉

This golden boy turned the big ONE today! 🥳 Fergus celebrated in style with a special birthday treat at the salon — a luxurious bath in de-shed shampoo and conditioner to keep that beautiful coat glowing, plus a refreshing blueberry facial to make sure he was looking his absolute best for his special day. ✨🦴🐾

Happy Birthday, Fergus! You’re a total joy and a real star — here’s to many more happy, tail-wagging years! 💛🐾🎂

A little info for all my customers 🐾

It’s hot, and it’s only getting hotter. But did you know the advice around heatstroke has been updated?

Cold water immersion is now recommended as an effective treatment for young, healthy dogs in the early stages of heatstroke, a big change from previous guidance.

This could save a life.

If you work with dogs in the heat, grooming, walking, transporting, make sure you’re up to date and know exactly what to do in an emergency.

Strawberries over sniffs today! 🍓☀️
Steven and I had a brilliant morning strawberry picking—what a treat! A wee change of pace for a sunny Sunday, and no pups allowed in the fields (understandably!), so our gang stayed home this time.

Time out, fresh air, and a punnet (or three!) of juicy berries… bliss.
What are you all up to today in this glorious sunshine? 🌞🐾

George & Plato: Pampered and Pooped! 🐾✨

George and Plato were happy to be home after their grooms today! It’s easy to forget just how much a pamper session can take it out of our furry friends—these two were pooped 🥰.

It’s always so lovely to see dogs so chilled after their grooms, and I absolutely love when my wonderful doggie owners send me photos of them all settled at home. What a life! 💕🐶

February is Dog Dental Health Month! 🦷🐶

Did you know that by the age of three, most dogs show signs of dental disease? Just like us, our furry friends need regular dental care to keep their teeth and gums healthy!

Neglecting dental hygiene can lead to bad breath, tartar buildup, gum disease, and even more serious health issues affecting the heart and kidneys. But the good news is that with a little extra care, you can keep your pup’s smile bright and healthy!

Here are some simple ways to support your dog’s dental health:
🦷 Regular brushing – A dog-friendly toothbrush and toothpaste can work wonders.
🦴 Dental chews and toys – These help reduce plaque and keep teeth strong.
🥦 Healthy diet – Some foods and treats are designed to promote oral health.
👩‍⚕️ Vet check-ups – Regular dental exams help catch any issues early.

As a groomer, I always check teeth and gums during appointments, and while I don’t offer dental cleaning, I’m happy to point out any concerns for you to discuss with your vet.

Let’s keep those tails wagging and those teeth shining! Show me your pup’s best smile in the comments! 🐕✨
