☀️🐾 HOT DOG? NOT THAT KIND OF HOT DOG! 🐾☀️

We know not everyone has a garden, and many of our furry friends need to head out for toilet breaks, especially those living in apartments and flats. If you do need to take your dog out, please choose the coolest parts of the day (early morning or late evening), keep walks short, stick to shaded areas where possible, and head home once they've done their business.

For those lucky enough to have gardens, now is the time to swap long walks for cool, relaxing garden time. 🌳💦

A few simple ways to help keep your dog comfortable: ❄️ Freeze a damp towel for them to lie on. 🍦 Make some homemade frozen dog treats. 💧 Keep fresh water available at all times. 🌳 Provide plenty of shade and cool resting spots. 🚫 Avoid hot pavements – if it's too hot for your hand, it's too hot for their paws.

Remember, missing a walk for a day or two won't harm your dog. Heatstroke can.

Stay safe, stay cool, and give your pups an extra cuddle from all of us at Muddy Paws. ❤️🐶

🚨💧 SALON CLOSED TODAY 💧🚨

Well folks, it appears Irish Water have decided that running water is now an optional extra... and unfortunately they've turned ours off! 😅

Due to a water supply issue in the area, we currently have no water in the salon, which means we simply can't groom safely or properly today.

As usual, we received little to no notice, so we're just as surprised (and slightly less than thrilled!) as everyone else. Unfortunately, this means another unexpected day of being out of pocket while we sit here staring at empty taps and questioning our life choices. 🚰🙃

We will be contacting affected customers as soon as possible to rearrange appointments and we'll be back up and running as soon as the water starts flowing again.

Thank you for your understanding and patience. Fingers crossed Irish Water works their magic quickly and we can get back to making dogs look fabulous instead of practising dry shampoo techniques on them! 🐶✨

🌞🥵 HOT WEATHER WARNING – PLEASE READ 🥵🌞

We know those puppy-dog eyes can make you feel guilty for skipping a walk... but trust us, your dog would much rather miss one walk than end up suffering from heat stroke.

🐾 Your dog will not come to any harm by missing a walk.
🐾 Walking your dog in excessive heat, however, absolutely can.

Heat stroke can develop frighteningly quickly and can be fatal. Pavements, roads, and footpaths can become hot enough to burn paws, and even a short walk can cause dogs to overheat before you realise there's a problem.

At Muddy Paws, we take the welfare of every dog extremely seriously. Over the coming days, we're doing our best to rearrange some afternoon appointments to morning appointments where possible, so dogs aren't travelling in hot vehicles or being walked to the salon during the hottest parts of the day.

Their comfort and safety will always come before convenience.

💧 Plenty of fresh water
🌳 Shade
❄️ Cool resting places
🏡 Mental stimulation at home

These are far more important than a walk when temperatures soar.

Remember: if it's too hot for you to comfortably wear a fur coat and run around the neighbourhood, it's too hot for them too!

So for the next few days, swap the lead for a frozen treat, a sniffing game, a cuddle in the shade, or a nap under the fan.

Because at the end of the day, bad hair grows out, missed walks can be made up, but our dogs only have one life. ❤️🐾

Stay safe, stay cool, and give those furry family members an extra cuddle from all of us at Muddy Paws.

great image caption for the post could be: "No walk is worth risking your dog's life. When in doubt, sit it out. 🐾❤️".

It is with deep sadness that we at Muddy Paws learned of the passing of Mona's beloved mother.

To us, she was affectionately known as "Mammy Mona" — a truly lovely lady whose kindness, warmth, and gentle nature touched everyone fortunate enough to know her. One of the things we will always remember most was her tremendous love for animals. Whether at home or at the many dog shows we attended together over the years, it was clear to see how much joy and happiness animals brought to her life.

Mona and her family have been part of the Muddy Paws journey from the very beginning. They have been much more than valued customers; they have been dear friends and an extended part of the Muddy Paws family. We are blessed with so many wonderful memories of time spent together at dog shows throughout Ireland, especially at Ballinasloe Fair, where Mammy Mona's smile, laughter, and love of the dogs always brightened the day.

Her kindness to both people and animals alike will never be forgotten, and the memories she created will be cherished by all who knew her.

Our thoughts, prayers, and heartfelt condolences are with Mona and all of her family at this incredibly difficult time. We hope that the love they shared and the many happy memories they hold close will bring them comfort in the days ahead.

Rest peacefully, Mammy Mona. Thank you for the smiles, the chats, the memories, and the love you showed to every furry friend you met. You will be deeply missed and fondly remembered always. 🐾💔

☀️🌞 SUN'S OUT... and so are a few appointment slots! 🌞☀️

Just like the Irish sunshine, these appointments might not stick around for long! 😎🐾

We've got a handful of grooming appointments available next week, and when they're gone... they're gone! 🎉✂️

So if your furry friend is looking a little more "wild child" than "well groomed," now's the perfect time to grab a slot before they disappear faster than a 99 on a hot day! 🍦🐶

🐾✨ Well, it wasn't quite our year... but what a night! ✨🐾

Sadly, we didn't bring home the trophy at the Midland 103 Customer Service Awards this time around, but we certainly brought the smiles, the sparkle, and plenty of fun! 💃🥂

We got all glammed up, let our hair down, and had a fantastic evening celebrating alongside some truly incredible businesses from across the Midlands. A huge congratulations to all of the winners and finalists — every award was so well deserved, and it was wonderful to see so many hardworking local businesses being recognised for what they do.

We're incredibly proud just to have been nominated and to be standing among such amazing company. Thank you to all of our wonderful customers for your support — we wouldn't be here without you. ❤️

Now, we'll dust off our dancing shoes, get back to what we love doing most, and who knows... maybe next year will be our year! 🤞🏆🐾

Until then, we'll keep wagging our tails and doing our very best every single day. 🐶✨

🚨 Miss Congeniality: Awards Night Edition! 🚨

The makeover mission is officially underway! 💁‍♀️✨

The hair has been transformed and beautified thanks to the fabulous Siobhan Coughlan in Banagher 💇‍♀️, and my nails and toes are looking red-carpet ready thanks to the wonderful Yvonne Larkin 💅✨.

Now it's time to head to the Tullamore Court Hotel, squeeze into the glam dress, apply enough makeup to survive a small hurricane, and get ready to take these awards by storm! 🌪️🏆

A huge thank you to all of our amazing customers for your continued support, your nominations, your encouragement, and for simply being the wonderful people that you are. None of this would be possible without you, and we appreciate every single one of you more than you'll ever know. ❤️🐾

A big good luck to all of the other nominees tonight too. 🍀 It's a fantastic achievement to be nominated, and we're looking forward to celebrating alongside so many brilliant local businesses and individuals.

Why, you ask? Well, after spending all year making your dogs look fabulous, it's finally our turn to get pampered, preened and polished as we head off to the Midlands 103 Customer Service Industry Awards on Monday night! ✨🏆

A huge thank you to all of our wonderful customers who nominated us. We are incredibly grateful and honoured to have your support.

After the awards, we're taking a few extra days to enjoy some family time, a little rest and relaxation, and maybe even remember what life is like when we're not covered in dog hair! 🐶😂

And yes, David... before you ask... I am taking ANOTHER holiday. Sorry! 😜

We will reopen on Wednesday, 17th June at 9:30am.

📵 While we're away, we will be completely switched off and unable to answer:

☀️🐶 “But he LOVES the heat…”
Yes Karen… and toddlers would eat crayons if left unsupervised. 😅

Heatstroke in dogs is a REAL emergency and it can happen FAR quicker than people realise — especially in warm cars, conservatories, hot pavements, stuffy rooms, or even during walks that seem “not that hot.” 🌡️

🐾 Dogs don’t sweat like we do.
They cool themselves mainly by panting… and when that stops working, things can go downhill FAST. 💔

🚨 SIGNS OF HEATSTROKE 🚨

🥵 Excessive panting
💧 Drooling
😵 Weakness or wobbling
❤️ Very fast heartbeat
🤢 Vomiting or diarrhoea
🌡 Bright red gums/tongue
😴 Lethargy
🚫 Collapse or seizures in severe cases

⚠️ Flat-faced breeds, older dogs, overweight dogs, puppies, and thick-coated dogs are especially at risk.

☀️ PRIORITIES IN HOT WEATHER ☀️

💧 Fresh water ALWAYS available
🌳 Shade shade SHADE
🚶‍♂️ Walk early morning or late evening
🔥 Avoid hot pavements (if it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for paws!)
🚗 NEVER leave dogs in cars — even “just for 5 minutes”
🧊 Cooling mats, frozen treats, paddling pools = doggy luxury spa day 😎

🚨 IF YOU SUSPECT HEATSTROKE:
➡️ Move them somewhere cool immediately
➡️ Use cool (NOT ice cold) water
➡️ Offer small drinks
➡️ Call your vet ASAP

Heatstroke is one of those situations where minutes matter. Better to overreact than regret it. ❤️🐾

Your dog does not need a midday marathon in 25° heat.
They need snacks, shade, and dramatic lounging. 😌🐶
