It’s never just a fur-cut to us - we’re here to help spot health changes that may otherwise be missed!
Wishing this pooch a full & speedy recovery!

Here’s a story, one I want you to read and learn from. A scenario I say to you, if you get tired learning all of the info from my canine health and first aid course, remember this bit of info!
Hollywood dogs have given this dog a chance of survival. Their team groomed this lovely young lady yesterday. She is aged 2 and they noticed this bruising whilst drying her. Leah (the owner) messaged me to say this isn’t normal is it?! No it isn’t, the dog was acting normal but her poor little body is battling immune mediated thrombocytopenia. As a groomer Leah and her team knew they couldn’t diagnose but after speaking with me knew she needed to see a vet asap.
She is currently in hospital and we all hope she makes a full recovery. Had Leah and her team not had groomed her that day, along with the knowledge they had, this little lady would not have made it.
I shall keep you updated. But this is a stark reminder that canine first aid is not all about CPR and bandaging. It is knowing how to spot a problem, and in this case a serious one. Learn from someone who actually deals with these things first hand AND listen to your pet professionals. These dog groomers haven’t just made a dog look pretty they’ve potentially saved a life…
