Thanks everyone for your kind messages. I'm loaded with painkillers and able to move around a little better today so I'm hoping to be back in the salon tomorrow 🙏 I appreciate your patience and understanding and hopefully will be back to running as normal tomorrow. See you then 🐶🐾

☆UPDATE ☆ - I'm finally back home from Urgent Care. It doesn't look like I'll be fit to work tomorrow, but I'm hoping to be back up and running again in the next few days. I'll be in touch with people individually if there are to be any changes. Thank you for understanding

The salon will be CLOSED TODAY due to health reasons. Apologies to all those affected. I have contacted everyone booked in for today directly, but for any other enquiries I will get back to you in due time. Thank you

Wow that was a tough week! 🔥 🥵 Once I'm finished with my admin and washing the salon towels, I'll be taking a customers advice and putting my feet up with a glass of vino in my hand I think! 🍷 Hace a lovely weekend everyone and I'll see you Monday 🐶🐾

Anyone who has an appointment in the next couple of days, but has concerns about the heat, please do get in touch. We can look at various options, such as bathing at home so your dog doesn't need to be under the dryer, quick tidy ups instead of full grooms etc. The dogs comfort is my main priority over anything else so please don't worry 🐶🐾

I've just logged on and seen 2 separate dogs have been found and info posted on Rishton pages. If anyone has any information, please go to the original posts. Hopefully they will be home soon. Thanks

Just seen this and thought it might be helpful if anyone is unsure. We have various ways to keep our dogs cool, but feet often get forgotten about 🐶🐾

How many of you were told not to have your dog groomed until they were at least 6 months old? Most of you I expect. However this myth causes so many problems down the line. As soon as they have had their vaccinations and are free to explore, that's when you should be booking them in to see a groomer. It can be a scary place at first, so early, calm introductions help to avoid any problems further down the line. You can also use introduction appointments for older dogs to become accustomed to the process too and see a trainer such as Gayle here Happy Tails Dog Training to help learn new coping skills. Grooming should be a comfortable, calm process and early work helps this 🐶🐾
