WARNING!!!!

I am getting tired of seeing fake dog grooming profiles circulating the groups

Here is just three of them from this morning I've seen. Advertising in different groups all over the country.

They will ask you to send a deposit which isn't uncommon as most groomers will require a deposit which is how they are getting away with scamming you

Things to look out for!

- Check the profile creation date! Most will have just been made recently

- check for reviews, they will likely have none

- check comments, most will switch commenting off

- check what they are saying... 'Inbox me for good price' no groomer would EVER say this

- why is the groomer in the picture different each time

- most important be vigilant and check the photos they are using, if they are claiming to be a van groomer, why are all there background photos of different salons, vans and homes? They are stealing other people's photos and using them.

All these accounts are using the same photos and some are stupid enough to use well known groomers in the industry.

If in doubt walk away. Groomers will usually ask for a small deposit as a booking fee.not a large amount.

Ask your groomer to prove who they are, they can send you a photo holding your name, ID, reviews, qualifications with their name on. Photos of themselves grooming dogs etc

Please report these accounts and get them shut down

**** PRICE INCREASE ****



Firstly i would like to thank everyone who has supported my business over the years. I am absolutely overwhelmed with the amount of enquiries I recieve on a daily basis due to recommendations from you all. I am so happy that i am able to provide an in house service here in the west midlands and help with your dogs needs.

With that being said, in order for me to continue to offer my services to all of your wonderful dogs there will be a price increase from the 1st may 2025 of £5 on some services, this is because some of you will already be on the correct prices, so the £5 increase is to bring those on the old prices in line with everyone else.

With the increase in running costs, and in line with both 3.7% RPI inflation and 6.7% national living wage increase, a price increase is something a small business needs to do in order to continue trading.

Unlike most businesses which increase their prices each year, my prices have remained the same for 3 years as I have done my best to absorb what costs I could in order to keep my prices lower, but with everything going up and all my suppliers and maintenance increasing on top I cannot afford to do this any longer.

However, i completely understand if the price increase puts me out of your budget.
Please send me a message if you would like to know your dogs new price from the 1st may or if you are going to struggle or want to change your schedules or alternatively find another groomer which i can help you with.

I have attached a price list below with your dogs coat types and the start from price.

Thank you all again I hope you all understand

Something different to doggies.
Happy world book day, to my previous manchester clients who might miss my children updates, and new clients who are wondering who they are, well here they are.... the hungry maple, who is apparently for sale for £12 and the lovely rapunzel river.

Absolute disgrace. You are not groomers and don't deserve to be around animals.

I spend every day working with dogs who are reactive and scared of groomers for inhumane people like these to put the fear of God into dogs and make fun and videos of them for a few likes. Get a grip and change profession.

Makes me so angry 😠

A message directly from IAPEG president, Bullet Brown

"If you haven't seen the current trend there is a link FULL of groomers tormenting dogs with dryers below, but you might not want to look. The trend involves using a blaster on dogs to get a reaction that matches the beat of Eminem's song "Just Lose It".

You groomers do NOT represent the professionals in our industry and are exactly why pet owners need transparency. You're not funny. You're not cute. You're a disgrace to our profession and a danger to pets everywhere,

What you are doing is called 'torture' or if you prefer 'groomer induced trauma'. You would rather laugh and make a tik tok video for your followers than work with a dog who obviously needs help or refer them to a groomer who can.

This industry is changing. I know because we are making it happen. Pet owners will demand that these tortuous sessions come to an end and we'll be there to back them."

✨️✨️Rare cancellation this Tuesday morning at 9am for 1 dog!.✨️✨️

How gorgeous is old man homer. He struggles to stand to long periods now and is mostly deaf but hes like a puppy again after his groom.

Having your dog groomed at home is great for senior dogs, dogs with health issues, nervous or reactive dog, dogs in seasons, puppies, nervous owners who just want to be with their dog!

It's also great if you work from home, retired, don't drive, looking after kids at home and everyone else in between.

If you would like more information about in house grooming or want to book in, I am currently booking up to june so spaces are limited.

Price guides are on my website www.houseofpooch.co.uk

Met this beautiful rescue pup today called Duke. Can't begin to tell you the amount of undercoat that came off him! He must feel a ton lighter after his bath and deshed.

double coated dog maintenance is so important in order the help the coat protect the dog from the elements. Removing all the compacted undercoat allows for the coat to trap heat in to keep dogs warm in winter and cool air in summer.

If you would like to get booked in I have very limited spaces left for march now

Gorgeous Ruby is finally looking like her owners always wanted 😍
Previously she had just been cut short all over but the owners wanted her to have teddy bear style legs with a fuller face.

I always find listening to what my customers want is key, and guide them using realistic expectations, coat growth, at home maintenance, how often professional grooming Appointments should be and most of all theirs and the dogs lifestyle, as not every style will be suitable for dog or owner.

But we have hit the sweet spot with ruby and she is looking pawfect! 🐾

If you would like some advice and to try mobile grooming in your home to see if I can make your dog as comfortable as fabulous as possible please give me a message.

🥰 bless my heart. Got to make this lovely little senior lady feel better after a long over due pamper was needed.
She's is blind and deaf but still has a little spring in her step.

At home grooming is ideal for older dogs and dogs with disabilities as it can be so stressful not being in their own environment in unknown surroundings, which is why I love meeting and helping dogs like this.

If you have a senior dog or a dog with disabilities and ailments. Give me a message and let's see if we can help your dog have a calmer grooming experience in their own home
