Grooming Marvellous

🌞 For the remainder of 2026 we have a number of days / weeks booked off on annual leave.

The first one is next week.

I will not be looking at my phone whilst away, and there won’t be an opportunity to collect any food.
Messages will be replied to on my return.

🌞 So the glorious sunshine is back this week and next.
I won’t lie, I’m loving it. My joints are loving it.

What this means is that we are offering to start mega early again this week and next.

We are bending over backwards to help you out , to keep ourselves and your dogs safe.
The pavement outside at 10 am this morning is hot and it’s currently 23 degrees.
We work with metal (clipper blades and scissors) and a blaster dryer and a finishing dryer. The equipment can get very hot and it’s unsafe to work in those conditions.

I’ll be in touch with the lunch time / afternoon appointments to rearrange.

What a week. 🥵

Today was by far the worst day here.
We started at 6 am much to Vinnys disgust having to get out of bed mega early, or could I say his dad struggled more than Vinny 🤣

By 7.30 am it was hot.

It was tools down at 10.30 am.

We are working extra hours over the weekend to accommodate the pre booked appointments this week.

🥵 we will be rearranging all appointments this week .
We are happy to start at 6 am (as long as we are quiet 🤫)
Last dog will be going home at 11 am.

I understand that this may be an inconvenience, however, I don’t want you walking your dogs on concrete in this heat or transporting your dogs in the car.

Also for our safety, the equipment gets very hot.

Last week was really busy with handstrips (forgot to take pictures) and a consult with new clients to determine if their dogs coat is good enough for handstripping. She is a beauty , welcome to Grooming Marvellous.

I know I’m like a broken down record, but handstripping takes time and patience and effort on the owners behalf.
Educating owners on the work involved is part of my job.

Here’s Jeff below in his clipped coat. Equally as smart as a handstripped jacket, and much less work 😁

💥I’m off on a long weekend now until next Tuesday💥

🌞 with the heat returning next week 🤞, if it gets to similar heat like 2 weeks ago we will be rescheduling appointments for your dogs and our safety and comfort. We will approach each day as it comes .

Review in this morning 🫶🏻😁

This review reflects my approach and experience with dogs. While I work professionally as a dog groomer, I have also lived in a multi-dog household for over 23 years, giving me extensive hands-on experience with canine care and behaviour.

I have a strong understanding of dog behaviour, canine nutrition, and the ability to recognise signs of discomfort or pain in dogs. In addition to the support mentioned in Simon’s review, I have recommended a range of supplements to help address the individual needs and minor health concerns in both dogs.

My inbox has gone mad in the last week with new enquiries for all different breeds.

Unfortunately we don’t have the facilities to groom big dogs. All our grooming equipment (tables and bath) are for small dogs only. We’re unable to accommodate dogs heavier than 17 kg.

🥵 wow. It’s been unbearable grooming this morning. We’ve closed for the afternoon. Back open tomorrow morning at 7 am.

Due to the extreme heat this week, I’ve taken the decision to not groom in the afternoons until it’s cooler. We will be starting extremely early to accommodate you all booked in. I’ll be in touch with all my afternoon clients.
