24.01.2022 Little Archie is just so sweet. He is a pleasure to groom and is such a smooch. Owner wanted a longer cut today and I think it suited him so well.

24.01.2022 Congrats to the winners and I loved seeing all your beautiful photos of your pups

23.01.2022 This beautiful girl was from last week. Bella is just so good to groom. She always gives me cuddles when she is here.

22.01.2022 I have been so slack with photos and posts on my page and on Instagram. I hope to go through and make their own individual posts asap but here are all your beautiful pups in one big post. Thanks so much for all your continued support.

22.01.2022 Hi to all my amazing clients, I would like to advise all clients regular and new that at Waggies Dog Grooming ALL dogs have to be up to date with all vaccinations. Unfortunately I won't be able to accept unvaccinated dogs in the salon.... I will be asking all clients to bring their dogs vaccination records to make a note on their client cards that it has been sighted. I am sorry if this causes any inconvenience but with the rise in Parvo cases it is something that has to be followed. I will be sending out messages to all upcoming appointments to advise of the changes.

22.01.2022 Are you thinking of buying a doodle, or Cockapoo, or any Poodle cross? Have you got one of these puppies and been told they don't need grooming until they are ...a year old, or that their coat maintenance is easy? If so please read this. (The original post was written by an unknown groomer but I have edited it quite a lot! Please feel free to share.) Poodle crosses (cockapoos, doodles, maltipoos etc.) are not "easy breeds" to maintain. The photo attached (shared from another groomer) shows how matting forms at the skin. By looking at this dog's top coat, you may not see the knots and you may not feel them as you would a knot on the ends of the fur but under that fluffy top layer this is going on. Once it starts its very difficult/ impossible to brush out... and even if you could it would be cruel to put the dog through it. Maintenance at home has to be more than a quick once over for these dogs if you want to keep them in that fluffy coat which was probably one of the reasons you chose a poodle cross in the first place. You really need to sit down with a brush and then a metal comb and make sure you can get it through the entire body at least 2 to 3 times a week. I often feel like owners don't believe groomers when they say their dog has to be clipped very short. I always hear "I know he/she is matted, but leave as much as you can". You cannot clip through matting, you can only clip under it. As this photo shows, clipping under the matting means taking the coat back to the skin. I promise you, your groomer really doesn't want to do this but they won't hurt your dog by putting it through dematting, they also don't want to hurt their reputation when the clients go around complaining about how the last groomer "scalped" their dog but there really is not any alternative. Instead of being angry with your groomer if they clip your dog very short please respect their commitment to do what is in your dog's best interest, accept responsibility for not having brushed your dog properly at home, and work with your groomer because, together, you can prevent this happening again. All groomers will be very happy to demonstrate a technique called line brushing which will help make your grooming at home more effective. Just ask! We all want owners to know how to do this Poodle crosses are easily one of the highest maintenance dogs in reference to their coats. The combination of the soft coat they are mixing poodles with these days is a coat that is extremely prone to matting. If you like a fluffy pup, you probably need to consider no more than 3-5 week intervals between grooming and set aside time for regular brushing AND combing at home. Please know, if you bathe your poodle cross you really need to blow dry and brush out right after. Moisture, be it a bath, rain, swimming, snow etc are all going to make matting worse. If you know your dog is already matted-- bathing is only going to make it worse! Brush out before the bath. Lastly "breeders" who say these dogs can't or shouldnt be clipped and not to give them a hair cut until they are one year old are misleading potential owners in order to sell puppies and setting them up for a sad day when they finally take their pup to the groomer. If this hasn't put you off buying one please schedule your puppy's first groom immediately after they've had their vaccinations and then be prepared to do the maintenance at home between regular professional grooms.

17.01.2022 Today was the first day I met Rocco and he was just so loving and came straight to me for cuddles. He was such a good boy for the groom and was so snuggly. The before photo reminded Roccos owner and I of the cartoon of the dog watching over everything on the hill. (Can't remember what it's called). He is one gorgeous pup.

15.01.2022 Blaze is a 6 month old moodle. He was such a good boy. Owner did warn me he may be nippy and very anxious, but there was nothing he was a absolute gem for his first groom.

11.01.2022 So it has been a few weeks of working flat out and I have been so slack in getting photos of all your gorgeous pups. I am totally full up till November with December filling up fast. If you would like please post your pups photos on my page. I will try my hardest to get photos of them all. Here are a few I actually got pictures of. Thanks again for your amazing continued support.

10.01.2022 Introducing my bandanas modelled by Chester and Gizmo. Absolutely love them. I also have them in purple.

10.01.2022 This gorgeous boy is Punk. He is just the sweetest boy. He will wrap his head around your neck and just snuggle in tight. He is just gorgeous to groom also.

08.01.2022 I had two little helpers today for my last dog. Apparently they are my new employees.

07.01.2022 I'm so excited to receive these soon. I will have purple and black. Each pup will get there own waggies bandana. Yay

07.01.2022 Little Lulu came to visit me today. She is so sweet and just wants snuggly cuddles. She doesn't like her front legs being done but she does so well on the table. Hopefully Lulu's little owner likes the unicorn theme.

06.01.2022 Please remember this is not the same as the human coronavirus. If your pup is showing symptoms see your vet.

06.01.2022 One of the pups from today before and after photos. Sky is such a sweet little girl.

03.01.2022 To all my amazing clients, I am so grateful for your continued support and from the bottom of my heart thank you. I am now fully booked for the year. Please don't stress though all regulars have a pencil booking made and over the next few weeks I will contact to confirm. Again thank you so much I absolutely love my job and seeing all your faces furry and not

02.01.2022 Hello to all you wonderful people, just wanted to put a reminder up for everyone. Now we are into the silly season I am extremely busy and have a waiting list coming out of my ears. Could I ask everyone confirms YES or NO to the automatic reminder messages, as if they aren't confirmed I will unfortunately have to pass the appointment to someonen who is waiting for a spot. Hope you all understand. Please stay safe and look forward to seeing you all before Christmas. BOOKINGS ARE NOW INTO FEBRUARY 2021.
