🐾❤️ A little bit of exciting news from me (and don't worry, I'm not giving up the dogs! 😂)

I wanted to share something a little different with you all today!

Many of you have known me for years through Glamour Pooch, and some of you have been with me right from the early days. You've supported my little business, trusted me with your gorgeous dogs and become so much more than just customers over the years. ❤️

So, it feels only right to share our next exciting adventure with you too!

Mark and I have started a new business together, Ribble & Dale Property Group 🏡

We've developed a real passion for property, from seeing the potential in a building to imagining what it could become with a little vision, hard work and a lot of determination!

We're going to be focusing on property investment, development and serviced accommodation, and we're really excited about what the future could hold.

Now, I know property is quite a leap from pampering pooches! 😂 But one thing that won't change is how much I value people, relationships and doing things properly.

And that's exactly the approach we want to bring to Ribble & Dale.

We're at the beginning of this journey, and we know we've got lots to learn, but we've also got some big dreams and we're not afraid of a bit of hard work!

So, can I ask you all a little favour?

If you could pop over and give our new page, Ribble and Dale Property Group a follow, it would mean the world to us.

And you never know who might be reading this!

Perhaps you're a property owner, landlord, investor or work in the property industry. Maybe you know someone who does, or perhaps you simply love a good property transformation!

We'd absolutely love to connect, have a chat and get to know others with similar interests. You never know where a conversation might lead. 🥰

And for all my lovely Glamour Pooch customers, please don't worry, it's very much business as usual here! The dogs aren't getting rid of me that easily! 🐩😂

Thank you, as always, for being such a wonderful part of my journey. Your support over the years has meant more than you'll ever know, and I'd love for you to be part of this new chapter too.

Lots of love,
Caroline ❤️

A lovely groom is important… but what happens while your dog is on my table matters far more to me. ❤️

Experience teaches you that dogs rarely need you to be quicker, louder or firmer. Most of the time, they need you to notice.

Notice a change in breathing. A shift in posture. A dog becoming uncomfortable. A skin change you haven’t seen before. A little lump, sore patch or sensitivity that wasn’t there last time.

That’s why every groom at Glamour Pooch is welfare-first. I want your dog to look beautiful, of course, but I also want you to know that while they’re with me, someone is genuinely paying attention to them.

Because handing your dog over to a groomer involves a huge amount of trust, and I never take that lightly.

One of the biggest misconceptions about grooming is that it’s mainly about the haircut.

The actual haircut is only one part of it.

Regular grooming lets me keep an eye on your dog’s coat, skin, ears, feet, nails and general condition. It also means grooming becomes familiar rather than something they suddenly have to cope with every few months.

And the longer a coat is left between appointments, the more chance we have of knots, pulling, discomfort and a groom becoming much harder work for the dog.

Little and often is nearly always kinder. ❤️

That’s why I’m a huge fan of getting dogs onto a regular schedule that suits their coat, lifestyle and individual needs rather than waiting until they “look like they need doing.”

Not sure how often your dog should be groomed? Drop their breed or coat type in the comments and I’ll give you a rough guide.

Honestly, some days I think I spend more time talking to the dogs than I do to people 😂🐶

I know who likes a cuddle, who needs five minutes to have a good sniff around first, who gives me the side-eye when the dryer comes out and who absolutely KNOWS there’s a treat waiting at the end.

That’s the bit of grooming I love.

Yes, I’m fussy about the finish and I want them leaving looking gorgeous, but I also want them walking through the door knowing me, knowing the salon and feeling safe here.

And these little faces are exactly why I still love what I do after all these years. ❤️

Tell me in the comments.....what’s your dog’s funniest little quirk? I already know some of my regulars are going to have brilliant answers to this one 😂

A few gorgeous faces from the salon lately 🐾💕

For anyone who’s new here, I’m Caroline, and Glamour Pooch has been my little world since 2011. We have an amazing little team of myself, Leanne and Lenice.

For us, grooming has never just been about making a dog look lovely. We want to know the dog in front of us, what they’re comfortable with, what they’re worried about, what’s normal for them and when something just doesn’t feel quite right.

They’re not just appointments in the diary. They’re little personalities we get to know, and that’s still one of my favourite parts of this job. ❤️

If you’re looking for a groomer who will take the time to really get to know your dog, pop us a message and have a chat with me. WhatsApp 07930 612803

I’m a little behind with posting at the minute 🙈

I’ve been a bit of a poorly dog groomer and in bed by about 8pm most nights, so social media has definitely taken a back seat.

But I had to share some of these lovely faces. And although I may look a bit like a zombie, every groom is done with care, patience and a lot of love.

A little autumn catch-up

How fantastic is this, it was great having the pupils in and talk about our love for everything dog grooming

A little autumn round-up of some of the gorgeous dogs we've groomed today 🍂🐾

One of the things that means the most to us is the trust you place in me when you leave your dog in our care.

I never see that as “just another appointment.”

Every dog is different. Different coat, different personality, different confidence levels, different needs. So every groom has to be approached with care, experience and good judgement.

For us, being a trusted groomer means more than producing a lovely finish. It means knowing when to slow down, when to adapt, when a dog needs a bit more reassurance, and making decisions with their comfort and wellbeing at the centre of everything.

Of course we want them to leave looking gorgeous and we absolutely love that part 💗

But we also want you to feel completely confident that while they’re with me, they’re being handled properly, treated kindly and groomed to a high standard from start to finish.

Thank you, as always, for trusting us with your dogs. We genuinely never take that for granted.
