Nothing will lift your mood quite like a puppy 😍
Teddy you are such a brave boy having your first session at 16 weeks old!

As part of his session, he had a bath, blow dry (which we took slowly as he was a bit nervy), nail clip, desensitisation of the clippers (which will eventually be used to trim his paw pads), brush through with a slicker (again, more for getting him used to the sensation- he doesn't have much floof yet!).
To end he had a little spritz of cologne and a photoshoot complete with a keepsake for his parents and digital puppy report 😁

Of course zoomies were a must 🤷🏼‍♀️😅

Just a bath & dry for the lovely Henson! 🫧🐾

What's included?

▫️ STANDARD PACKAGE ▫️

🫧 Bath – A double shampoo to ensure the coat is thoroughly clean and smelling fresh, followed by a conditioning soak or conditioning spray (depending on coat type) to help release tangles, improve manageability and lock in moisture.

Also included is a gentle facial scrub and paw scrub for that extra bit of pampering!

🫧 Blow dry & brush out – A thorough blow dry and brush out to leave the coat fluffy, fresh and tangle-free.

🫧 Cologne spritz - For that finishing touch! Clean, fluffy and smelling gorgeous 😍

▫️ PREMIUM PACKAGE ▫️

Everything included in our Standard Package, PLUS:

✨ Nail clipping
✨ Eye tidy – removing any hairs growing into the eyeline.
✨ Paw tidy – rounding off the paws and neatening any stray hairs.
✨ Hygiene trim – cleaning up the hygiene areas.

Because even bath time deserves a little extra pampering! 🥰🐶

🐾 Let's talk about senior grooms! 🐾

Sometimes, it's not about achieving the perfect shape.
Sometimes, it's about doing what we can.
And sometimes, we need to adapt our grooming routine, techniques and expectations to suit the dog in front of us. ❤️

All of these things are especially true when it comes to our older dogs.

As dogs age, they may struggle to stand for long periods, become more fidgety (believe it or not! 😂), or find the sounds, activity and general environment of a grooming salon more overwhelming.

They may also become more sensitive about certain parts of the groom, such as having their feet handled. Arthritis, joint stiffness and other age-related changes can make positions or movements that were once comfortable much more difficult.

This is where we need to adapt. 🐶

The groom might not be perfectly symmetrical. There might be a few stray hairs left around the face or feet. Some areas might need to be left a little longer, or certain parts of the groom may need to be skipped altogether.

And that's okay.

Our priority should always be the dog's comfort, safety and wellbeing — not achieving a flawless finish at all costs.

Trying to make our senior dogs look exactly as they did when they were three years old isn't always realistic, and more importantly, it isn't always fair on them. Sometimes, chasing those last few stray hairs simply isn't worth the extra stress, discomfort or risk.

We might need to offer more breaks, change our positioning, work in shorter sessions or adjust our expectations. Every dog is different, and what works for one senior dog might not work for another.

As groomers, we have to recognise when enough is enough. ❤️

A good senior groom isn't necessarily the one that looks perfect. It's the one that puts the dog's needs first.

So, if your older dog comes home with a slightly wonky trim or a few fluffy feet, please know that it doesn't mean we've done a bad job. It may mean we've made the decision to put their comfort before perfection.

And sometimes, that's the very best groom we can give them. 🐾❤️
