Stella relaxes on the comfiest chair after her grooming session 🥰🐶

Minnie likes to do a bit of yoga before her groom!

This lady has been my grooming inspiration right from day one and continues to make me chuckle on a regular basis!
This post is, however, a bit more serious….PLEASE BRUSH YOUR DOG!!! 🐶😂

⚠️ WARNING ⚠️

If you comment “brush” or “brushing” on any of my posts,
you may be sent a free, very helpful, educational video
showing how to brush your dog safely, comfortably, and without turning them into a felted footstool.

I know.
Absolutely outrageous behaviour from me.

Some people have been deeply offended by this.
So offended you’d think I’d snogged their husband and kicked their Labrador.

I’m terribly sorry for sending free information about how to help keep dogs mat-free, comfy, and happier between grooms.
Truly feral behaviour.

To the groomers who’ve been grooming for 84 years and don’t need this…
it’s not actually for you.
It’s for the owners whose dogs you groom.
You’re very welcome to forward it on if it makes life easier.

Inspired by the excellent attitude of …
the only things I’m taking into 2026 are:
• my sense of humour
• a slicker brush
• and fresh pants

Peace, love, and dog snogs 🐾💋
You do you. I’ll do floofs.
Sandra’s been grooming 84 years and she’s still angry…
maybe she’s got a dog hair splinter somewhere awkward.

I would like to wish all my customers a very Happy New Year and thank you for supporting my small business !

We advise new puppy owners to get their pup to the groomers as soon as they are fully vaccinated (around 12weeks old).
This enables us to introduce them gently to bathing, drying and styling over a number of visits called ‘puppy grooms’ which include a bit of training and play time.
Although this gorgeous boy is 9 months old, he did really well, and I can work on his progress now he is on a regular grooming schedule. 🐶🥰

More gorgeousness in the salon 🥰. No wonder my work days are so happy!

Cutie pie, Luca, is looking gorgeous after his groom today 🐶🥰

Nothing better than a first puppy groom!
Rocket was amazing and I can’t wait to see how he develops.
Gorgeous pup 🐶🥰

This stunning Bearded Collie, Henry, came in for a bath and tidy today. What a pleasure to work on such a gorgeous boy! 🥰🐾

I love grooming Poodles and these two are so well behaved now. With regular visits, they soon get to know the agenda and are happy and relaxed in the salon 🥰🐕🥰🐕

A few of my lovely customers have recently requested shorter muzzles on their cockapoos and I think they look fabulous!
They can get very messy, tangled and grubby so a short cut helps with ease of maintenance and hygiene.

I’m having a very proud moment…..
My customer, Ken Symmonds took his 11 month old Standard Poodle, Jensen, to the Partí Poodle AGM today and won First Prize for the most handsome dog!!
My two hours of bathing, drying and brushing out on Friday paid off and I’m so proud of him 🥰 🐩
Well done Jensen and Ken!🎉🐾😍🎉🐾🎉😍
