🐾Why Grooming Notes Matter - Not Just a Trim, But Proper Care🐾

At every groom, more is happening than just a bath and haircut. That's why writing detailed grooming notes is an essential part of professional dog grooming .✂️🫧🐾

🐾What We Record Each Groom
✂️Tools & equipment used( clippers,blades,scissors, dryers)
🫧 Products used(shampoos and conditioners, colognes)
🐕 Dogs temperament and behaviours
🔄 Any changes from previous grooms
⚠️ Skin, coat, health, or comfort concerns we notice

🐶Why This Is So Important ✅️Keeps every groom consistent and tailored for your dog
✅️Helps us spot changes
✅️Ensures the right tools and products are always used
✅️Supports dogs' anxiety, sensitivities, or special needs
✅️ It's a professional care record, and other dog groomers are able to work with

🐾🐶 Every note tells your dogs grooming story - helping us to provide safer,kinder,and more personalised care at every visit.

Because your dog is not "just another groom."💕 They're an individual, and they deserve grooming that reflects that. 🐾✨️

Ahead of the inevitable fireworks tonight, here are some last-minute tips to keep your dog safe and happy. We are thinking of all the pets out there who might find tonight difficult 💛

For more advice around fireworks, click here 👉 https://bit.ly/42mWeqF

[Image description: This infographic contains some tips to help dogs cope with fireworks. The text reads 'Dogs all react differently to fireworks so identify your dog's individual ways of coping and be prepared to support them. Let your dog hide away or play as they please. Give your dog comfort if they seek reassurance, ignoring them won't help. Make sure your house is secure so your dog can't escape. Walk your dog well before dark. Drown our whizzes and bangs with music or TV. Never force a dog outside.]
