🎃👻 No tricks, just treats and some gorgeous Halloween grooms 👻🎃

These beautiful dogs and cats are anything but scary. Just a few of the cuties I've had the pleasure of pampering at Vanity Fur VIP recently.

Looking spook-tacular and ready for Halloween.

🍂 Is Your Dog Winter Ready? 🍂

With muddy walks and wet paws becoming more regular at this time of the year, a little grooming preparation now can make a big difference to keeping your dog comfortable and their coat manageable over winter.

Here's my quick winter grooming checklist!

🧡 What do you do when a dog arrives for their first groom and is terrified of being somewhere new? 🧡

This gorgeous little girl came to me for her first groom the other day, and she was very anxious and certainly had plenty to say when she arrived. Her owner had explained that she struggles with new places, so I knew we would need to take things slowly and work at her pace.

It took time, patience and lots of reassurance before she started to feel safe and trust me. Rather than trying to get everything done in one go, I broke her groom up into smaller stages so she didn't become overwhelmed, giving her plenty of breaks and reassurance along the way.

We managed to get quite a bit done, and next time we'll build on what we've achieved together. It's so important that she leaves feeling safe and has a positive experience than pushing her to achieve the perfect groom.

Here she is in this short video. I'm sure you'll agree she's absolutely gorgeous🥰

Do you have a nervous dog that would benefit from this approach? Call 07787 046684 to book an appointment.

🧡 What's Your Pet's Grooming Star Sign? - Scorpio (23rd October – 21st November) 🧡

We're kicking off with Scorpio, the silent judge.

We've all seen that look from our pets the one that makes you question everything you've just done. I've met a few cats and dogs in the salon who have definitely mastered this one🤣

Have you got a Scorpio pet? Does this sound like them?

Love,

🧡 Homeward bound! ✈️ 🧡

After a lovely break in Gran Canaria, I'm flying back home today. I can'twait to see the kids (my dogs and cats, of course) and the hubby in that order🤣.

It's been lovely having some time away, but I'm looking forward to getting back to work on Monday and seeing all your gorgeous dogs and cats again. I've missed them.

I'll catch up with any remaining messages once I'm back home, so thank you for your patience.

See you all soon.

Love,

🧡 A letter to Day One me… 🧡

Over five years of grooming and I think the biggest thing I’ve learnt is that the pets and their owners have taught me just as much as any course ever could.

I’m still learning, improving and absolutely love what I do. I think Day One me would be pretty proud. 🧡
Thanks to all my clients and their gorgeous balls of fluff x

Love,

🧡 Something owners may never think about… grooming gets physically harder when a dog's carrying extra weight. 🧡

This isn’t a dig at anyone. It’s simply something that can affect your dog during their groom.

Standing for periods of time, moving their legs for nails or paw trims, turning, balancing and being moved into different positions can all be uncomfortable when a dog is carrying extra weight.

I give them more breaks, let them sit or lie down, or adapt the groom around what they can manage, as always, I work with the dog in front of me.

If you’re concerned about your dog’s weight, it’s always worth having a chat with your vet.

Love,

😱 The Matted Menace… coming this October to a groomer near you! 😱

It hides in plain sight, it grows in the dark… and before you know it, those knots have turned into matting.
A little October fun, but with a serious side.

Matting can be uncomfortable for your pet. It pulls on the skin, restricts their movement and can feel like wearing a straight-jacket.

I see dogs and cats that seem like a different pet once matting has been removed, running around, stretching and acting like kittens and puppies again.

Unfortunately, once matting is tight to the skin, it can’t be brushed out as it would be too painful for them.

Don’t let The Matted Menace take over - call me on 07787 046684 and I'll sort it out!

Love,

🧡It's not just a groom...🧡

Three things I always check before I even pick up a brush, I’m already looking and listening to what your pet is telling me.

I check for any sore or sensitive areas, watch how they’re standing and moving, and having a proper look and feel through their coat before deciding how I’m going to approach their groom.

Throughout the groom I’m also checking the skin and coat condition, looking for lumps and bumps, parasites, grass seeds, matting or anything else that maybe wasn't there last time.

Sometimes I’ll notice a little area they suddenly don’t want touched, or a change in how they’re holding themselves that could suggest something is uncomfortable.

As a groomer I can’t diagnose, but I can let you know when I spot something that I think you should be aware of and maybe requires a vet visit for checking.

Love,

🧡 Just look at this gorgeous little fella can you believe he’s 12 years old! 🧡

Before he came to me, this lovely boy was muzzled during grooming. He also has an autoimmune condition which means his feet can be particularly sensitive and he really doesn’t like them being touched.

I take a different approach and work with him and what he can cope with on the day, this can vary each visit. He may not always have the most perfect groom, but that doesn’t matter to me. What matters is that he’s listened to and I don’t push him past his comfort level just to achieve that perfect finish.

He’s such a lovely little fella and is always happy to see me, which means far more to me than a perfect haircut ever could.

Love,
Melanie @ Vanity Fur VIP x
