A little reminder from your local dog groomer ❤️

When you book a grooming appointment, that time has been reserved especially for your dog. Every late arrival, last-minute cancellation or reschedule has a ripple effect throughout the day.

🐾 It can mean the next dogs are waiting longer than they should.
🐾 It puts pressure on the schedule, making the day more stressful for both the dogs and the groomer.
🐾 As a small business, empty appointment times can’t always be filled at the last minute, which means lost income.

If you’re running late, please send me a message or give me a call as soon as you know. Even a quick heads-up helps me work out the best solution for everyone. If you’re more than 15–20 minutes late, I may need to shorten the groom or reschedule your appointment so I don’t keep every other client waiting.

I know life happens—kids get sick, traffic is unpredictable, and plans change. All I ask is that you communicate with me as early as possible. It allows me to keep the day running smoothly and give every dog the time, care and attention they deserve.

Thank you to all my wonderful clients who respect my time and support my small business. It truly means the world, and I can’t wait to keep pampering your beautiful pups. 🐶💕

Why do groomers recommend regular grooming for double-coated breeds like Border Collies? 🐾

A Border Collie’s coat is designed to protect them from both the heat and the cold. The soft undercoat helps regulate their temperature, while the top coat protects them from the weather and dirt.

Regular grooming is important because it:

✨ Removes loose undercoat and reduces shedding around the house.
✨ Prevents painful mats and tangles, especially behind the ears, legs, and tail.
✨ Allows air to circulate through the coat, helping keep your dog comfortable in warmer weather.
✨ Keeps the skin healthy by removing dirt and debris.
✨ Gives you the chance to check for lumps, ticks, hot spots, or skin issues early.

A common misconception is that shaving a double-coated dog will keep them cooler. In reality, their coat acts as insulation and helps regulate their body temperature, so regular brushing and de-shedding are usually a much better option.

For Border Collies, a good brushing routine can make a huge difference to their comfort and overall health—and your vacuum cleaner will thank you too! 🖤🤍🐶

Grooming a Border Collie isn’t just about keeping them looking beautiful—it’s also important for their coat and skin health. 🐾

Today’s helpful model is the handsome Shadow.

I like to use a few different brushes because each one has a different job:

✨ Slicker brush – Great for removing loose fur and preventing tangles, especially around the legs and tail.

✨ Undercoat rake – Perfect for getting rid of the thick undercoat that Border Collies shed, particularly during seasonal coat changes.

✨ Pin brush – A gentle everyday brush that helps keep the coat smooth and shiny.

✨ Comb – Ideal for checking behind the ears, around the pants, and other areas where knots can easily form.

Regular grooming also gives you a chance to check for lumps, skin issues, or anything unusual. Plus, it’s wonderful bonding time with your dog. ❤️

My beautiful 15-year-old Border Collie Danny still enjoys his grooming sessions, and keeping up with his coat care helps him stay comfortable in his senior years.

Do you use more than one brush for your dog? 🐶👇

Happy 15th Birthday to my beautiful Border Collie, Aust Ch Perrioak Dreams Do Come True — our Danny, or as we call him, Dan Dan. ❤️

This old boy has been through more in the last 12 months than most dogs face in a lifetime.

He lost his best mate Olivia, then just 6 weeks later lost Flick too. He definitely wasn’t impressed about becoming an only dog. Then came emergency surgery, followed by me disappearing for 4 months, and when I finally came home, there was a tiny two-legged baby waiting to join the family! 😂👶

Through every change, every challenge, and every surprise, Danny has remained the loyal, loving soul he’s always been.

Fifteen years of friendship, unconditional love, adventures, and memories. We love you more than you’ll ever know, buddy.

Happy Birthday, Dan Dan. 🥳🎂❤️
