Christmas is here & our annual Santa specials are a hit!
Max popped in yesterday for teeth cleaning and his photo 📸
& the gingerbread facial smells DIVINE!
🧑🏼🎄 it’s not too late to let us know if you want to treat your pooch to either of our specials 🎁
However we are FULLY BOOKED FOR 2025 for grooms, so if you don’t already have one booked I’m afraid we cannot squeeze you in but why not opt for the spritz and snap instead 😍
We can accommodate teeth, nails & glands still.

OUT OF OFFICE UNTIL DECEMBER 3rd.
Tonight I lost my best friend, Archie.
I need to take some time to process and kind of thankfully I’m on holiday next week, not that it will be enjoyable 😔
I’m utterly broken, I know it was ‘his time’ but it hurts
Goodnight Arch 💙

I’m asking for your help again folks, after (hopefully) having found Tank the Frenchie a new home which he goes to this weekend 🤞🏻 I’ve been asked to help Rehome this beautiful boy who needs a new 🏡 due to his owner’s health,
14 month old Labrador cross collie therefore very energetic needs alot of training & exercise, not castrated (vets advice) loves swimming, good with kids & very friendly but see below 👇 , lives with a cat.
Cons;
can jump up alot and nip at times with excitement which is why he needs further training
—
I have groomed this boy from a puppy and although bonkers he is very loving & intelligent -in the right hands very trainable

Hi everyone, I thought id add a little ‘about me’ section for anyone wanting to know more...
I’m Sarah and I qualified as a veterinary nurse in 2013 after starting off at a vets in Southampton in 2010, as a qualified vet nurse I am also registered with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. Prior to that I completed a 2 year national diploma in animal management at Sparsholt College for which I achieved the highest grade possible of Triple Distinction.
I’ve worked in various vet practices all over the country and I am lucky enough to have been involved in some pretty amazing things, like surgically removing five rubber ducks from a naughty staffies’ stomach in the middle of the night one weekend!
I’ve worked in referral centres and as a senior nurse of a large Hampshire based hospital but since having my son I decided to branch out and train as a dog groomer with Jazmin at the multi award winning dog grooming salon known as ‘Shampoodle’.
Since training there I have been lucky enough to have been offered a position grooming under Shampoodles’ roof, its amazing to be part of such a highly recommended salon where I was a client before training.
Therefore you can find me at Shampoodle most days bathing, clipping and beautifying your beloved pooches which I can honestly say I LOVE!
So if you have any questions, would like a chat or to book please pop me a message or give me a call on 07599968573
Lastly but by no means least, thankyou to each and everyone of you who have supported me in my new venture, that goes to people and pooches!
