Friday’s dogs were a lovely mix of fresh coats and clean teeth 🐾

We had:

Merlot the Corgi — full groom and first teeth clean
Declan the Staffy — bath, deshed and deep teeth clean
Ruben the Bouvier — full groom
Poppy the Working Cocker — full groom and Emmipet maintenance session
Bella the Cockapoo — first Emmipet session

A busy little line-up to end the week, with some brilliant teeth cleaning progress too. It’s always so satisfying seeing the difference, whether it’s a first session, a deeper clean or keeping on top of maintenance.

Lots of gorgeous dogs, fresh grooms and healthier smiles 🤍

I’m thinking about creating an online guide to help owners keep their dogs mat-free between grooming appointments — without spending ages brushing every day.

Before I create it, I’d love to know what people actually struggle with most.

Do you brush regularly but still get told there are knots? Does your dog hate being brushed? Or are you just never quite sure if you’re doing it properly?

I’m going to share a few quick poll. They’ll only take a second to answer, and your feedback will help me make something genuinely useful rather than just another generic grooming guide.

Thank you — and be honest, there are no wrong answers!

Have you ever been told your dog is matted even though you brush them at home?
Yes / No / More than once

What is your biggest struggle with brushing your dog?
Finding time / My dog won’t cooperate / I’m not sure I’m doing it properly / The coat still mats

Would a 10-minute daily routine to help prevent mats between grooms be useful to you?
Definitely / Maybe / Not really

Which area of your dog mats most often?
Ears / Armpits / Legs and paws / Harness area / Everywhere

What would you prefer?
Short demonstration videos / A printable guide / Both together

What price would feel reasonable for a video guide, printable body map and simple 10-minute routine?

Under £10
£10–£19
£20–£29
£30+

Which would make this feel worth paying for?
Close-up demonstration videos
A personalised coat-care routine
A tool guide
Help for dogs that hate brushing
All of the above

A little back to basics post from Friday 🐾

I used to post before and afters of the dogs every day, and although I don’t do it as much now, it’s still lovely to show off some of the gorgeous faces that come through the salon.

Friday’s line up:

🐾Bing the Cockapoo — full groom and teeth clean
🐾Chip the Cavapoo cross — full groom
🐾Mable the Mini Goldendoodle — full groom and teeth clean
🐾Ruby the Irish Setter — full groom
🐾Ruby the Cavapoo — full groom

Lots of fluff, fresh trims and clean teeth to finish the week 🤍

As always, thank you for trusting me with your dogs. I never take it for granted.

The salon is fully air conditioned and fresh water is always available, but with the heat outside and the warmth from the driers, it can still get very hot during the grooming process.
Your dog’s comfort and safety will always come first, so in some cases the finish may not be perfect, or dogs may go home slightly damp if that’s what’s best for them.
If an elderly, overweight or flat-faced dog is struggling in the heat, I will stop the groom.
Please also avoid walking your dog to the salon in this weather where possible.
Thank you so much for your understanding 💚

Today is a very special day... 🥳

Please join me in wishing a very Happy 9th Birthday to Chief! 🎂🐾

For those of you who visit the salon regularly, you'll know Chief isn't just my dog – he's the salon's resident hound, official treat inspector, professional sofa tester and my constant shadow.

He's been by my side through the highs, the lows, the long days and everything in between. Sitting Pretty simply wouldn't be the same without him.

Thank you to all of my lovely customers for loving him almost as much as I do and for always stopping to say hello, sneaking him a fuss and ask after him when he isn't around.

Here's to more walks, more adventures, more naps and hopefully many more years of Chief greeting everyone at the salon door. ❤️

Happy 9th Birthday, Chief. You're my best friend and the heart of Sitting Pretty. 🐶💚
