🐾 Grooming Spots Available 🐾

I’ve recently had a few lovely long-term clients sadly pass on due to old age, and a couple of families move away, which means I now have some spaces available for new pups 💛

If you’re looking for a calm, caring, and experienced groomer who treats your dog like their own, I’d love to help. I focus on making grooming as stress-free and comfortable as possible, especially for nervous or older dogs.

✨ Full grooms
✨ Bath & tidy ups
✨ Nail trims
✨ Gentle, one-on-one care

Spots are limited and tend to fill quickly, so feel free to message me to book or ask any questions 🐶

Located in Lepperton

With Cyclone Vaianu approaching tomorrow, just wanting to check in and say I’m thinking of all my lovely clients and their pets 💛

These kinds of weather events can be really stressful for our animals, so I hope everyone is able to keep their pets safe and close and bring them inside where possible. Better to be safe than sorry! 💓

Take care out there and stay safe 🐾

Good ol' Gpt got it pretty accurate. 😅

TWO YEARS in business this month! 🥳
Thank you to all my amazing clients for trusting me with your fur babies. I also appreciate everyone who kindly turned a blind eye to my maybe questionable haircuts in the early days 😂

🐾 Business Recommendation 🐾

I’d love to recommend my good friend and ex-colleague Tracey, who has just opened her new dog daycare: The Back Paddock Doggy Daycare in Urenui.
Tracey is an accredited dog trainer with an Advanced Diploma in Canine Behaviour and many years of hands-on experience, including service dog training. She has created a calm, structured and safe environment where dogs can socialise, learn and simply be dogs.

The Back Paddock runs separate days for small and large breeds, making sure dogs are matched appropriately for size and personality.

The focus is on safety, understanding each dog’s needs, mental stimulation and plenty of time to burn off energy.

If you’re looking for a daycare where your dog will be well cared for and come home relaxed and happy, this is definitely one worth checking out.

We offer calm, structured doggy daycare at our rural home. Led by a dog trainer, our days focus on safe socialisation, mental enrichment, gentle learning, and appropriate activities in small, carefully managed groups.
Less Chaos. More Care. Happier Dogs.

✂️🐶 The Benefits of Starting Puppy Grooming Early

Getting your puppy used to grooming from a young age is one of the best things you can do for their long-term comfort and confidence.

Early grooming isn’t just about looking cute, it’s about desensitizing your pup to all the sights, sounds, and sensations that come with regular grooming. When introduced gently and positively, puppies learn that the clippers, dryers, and brushes aren’t scary, they’re just part of life!

✅ Builds confidence and trust

✅ Helps prevent fear or stress later on

✅ Makes future grooming sessions quicker and easier

✅ Allows your groomer to safely handle coat care before knots or matting develop.

Starting around 12–14 weeks, once your pup has had their second vaccination, we can do short, gentle “puppy grooms” focused on positive experiences, light brushing, tidy-ups, nail trims, and lots of cuddles and treats.

The goal is a stress-free grooming journey that lasts a lifetime 💕
