HANDSTRIPPING
The traditional way of grooming nearly all Terriers & many other coarse, wire, broken coated & sporting breeds. It is at times a misunderstood form/style/technique/art of grooming.
If you are working with the Correct coat type, using the correct techniques & tools it does not hurt the dog & it is not bad for the coat or skin.
Now not every handstrip breed MUST be handstripped. Incorrect coat type, the dogs age, skin condition, sensitivities, tolerances and of course owner preference are all reasons why some traditional stripped breeds are clipped.
Handstripping is a highly skilled practice & the price of the groom will reflect this.
So there is no right or wrong...To Strip or not to Strip is all up to the individual owner & the individual dog....I do find it hard to look past a beautifully stripped dog though ❤️

Dear possible new client, We need to have a chat....
Please be aware that any groomer that is a credit to the Grooming Industry is not sitting waiting for you to call.
We are already busy, we already have an exsiting client base & they are all on a regular rotation for their grooms.
So when you call us and ask for a booking & expect it to be tomorrow or even this week.
Pleased don't get offended or even angry at us when we inform you that our 1st availability is not for another 4 to 6 weeks. Unless we have a cancelation it is very rare that we can fit you in when you expect us to be able to.
We get quite hurt when people write us off because we can't fit them in yesterday........
Please plan ahead because we do look forward to meeting you & caring for your pet but please don't wait until the situation is dire before contacting us....this will help to avoid frustrations on both sides.
☺️Great chat, thanks☺️

LETS TALK WINTER...
Myth: If I let my dogs coat grow long over winter it will be warmer
Reality: Your dog will be colder & suffer more if you do not maintain their coats over winter.
Reasoning: a long matted coat when it gets wet will stay damp & cold longer due to the air not being able to reach the skin because of the matting. Then due to friction from movement & licking matting becomes tighter & uncomfortable ( like having a very tight ponytail in 24/7)
Solution: keep to your regular schedule of 6-8 weeks professional groom, dry & brush out your dog properly when they do get wet to prevent matting & spoil your dog with a cozy bed or jacket this winter.
Being severely Matted is not pleasant for your dog & having to clip your dog off very short to prevent distress is not pleasant for us & will course you distress if you don't like your dog short.
Said with heartfelt care & concern for all our K9 friends out there.

Great products, Both do a great job & this explains well how & when best used

❓Cat p*ed on the couch? Dog accidents in the hallway? Here’s what to use...

Our Cat Odour Eliminator (COE) is your go-to for cat urine odour—it’s specially formulated and comes in a pour bottle, so you can soak deep into carpet, cushions or furniture where cats often like to go. 💦🐱

Animal Odour Eliminator (AOE) is designed as a general pet smells eliminator and makes a brilliant dog toilet training tool. It comes in a spray bottle so handy for spraying vertical surfaces or hard-to-reach places. 🐶🧼While it will also eliminate cat p*e, COE is the better option if you know it’s a cat urine issue because of the bottle design.

🧴Pro tip: Odorex products work best when they contact the source, so give that p*e patch a proper soak!

For larger jobs or repeat offenders, try our Pet Cleanup Concentrate (PCC)—just 1L makes up to 25L! And if you're not sure where that pesky pong is coming from, grab our Pet Urine Stain Detector.

💬 Drop your pet pong questions below or send us a message—we’re here to help!
