Alpha had some VERY strong opinions about today’s blow wave 🗣️

Unfortunately Lola heard the complaints from the other end of the house and immediately joined the discussion 😂

Things escalated quickly… Including Lola howling at a VIDEO of herself howling at Alpha while Sam silently questioned every life choice that led him to this moment 🫠

The Dog Tales complaints department was fully operational today.

If your dog’s feet smell like corn chips… you’re not imagining it 👀🌽🐾

That musty “Fritos” smell is often caused by yeast or bacteria building up on the paws — especially in our humid Cairns climate.

Double-coated dogs that:
🐾 swim
🐾 play in wet grass
🐾 stay damp between the toes

can be especially prone to it.

The good news?
Catching it early is MUCH easier than waiting until the skin becomes red, inflamed and itchy.

Ari was thrilled with his foot treatment… obviously 😅🐺

Mother Fluffer enters his dinosaur era 🦖

Quite possibly the least ferocious dinosaur ever spotted in Cairns 😂

Chewie the Newfoundland may be built like a prehistoric beast… but mostly he just enjoys spa days, being dramatically soaked, and making me question whether I’m grooming a dog or a small bear 🫧

Rawrrr 🦕

Not every good dog stands perfectly still for a groom… and that’s okay 🧡
Ned the Rough Collie finds the dryer super overwhelming, so this groom was done completely at HIS pace.
On the table. Off the table. Back on again. A quick escape attempt somewhere in the middle 😂
But eventually? He chose to stay.
No force. No rushing. Just patience, positive reinforcement and approximately 47 million ‘good boys’ 🐾
By the end, Ned was calmly standing for brushing, dematting, nails and paws like an absolute champion.
Sometimes progress doesn’t look perfect… sometimes it looks like trust.

Britney travels all the way from Mission Beach to see me every 8 weeks 🧡

An ex Australian Champion German Spitz, now a much loved service dog to her beautiful mum.

A few years ago they lived locally here in Cairns, but after moving to Mission Beach, they still make the trip up for Britney’s specialist deshed appointments… and honestly, that kind of trust never gets taken for granted.

While they’re here, mum gets to have lunch with her son too 🥹

It got me thinking how lucky I am to have clients who travel from all over North Queensland — Mission Beach, Kuranda, Mareeba, Edmonton, Port Douglas and even Dimbulah — because they trust me with their dogs.

How far would YOU travel for someone you trust with your dog? 👀🐾

Charlie came in for his very first groom this week 🐾

His sister Mia has been coming to me since I first started grooming… and now her biological brother has joined the Dog Tales family too 🥹

Poor Charlie’s backend was heavily compacted with impacted fleece and matting, so we spent a lot of time gently working through all that coat and getting him comfortable again.

Safe to say he was feeling a whole lot lighter by the end of it ✨

Murphy came in for her very first ever groom today 🥹🐾

Sam immediately recognised his old adolescent dog training class friend… and then apparently decided she lived here now 😂

Safe to say he was NOT impressed when it was time for her to leave 💀

These two gorgeous border collies came in for their very first full deshed 🐾

One arrived like an absolute fart in a bottle 💨😂
The other was a little unsure and anxious.

But both of them absolutely smashed it and left with silky smooth coats, happy smiles and cute little scarves 🩵

Reviews like this honestly mean the world…

“We had recently moved to Cairns and Sherri came highly recommended to us. Our kids had their first de-shed today and cannot recommend her enough. She listened when I let her know how our kids were behaviour wise and she had no problems at all. They came back with happy smiles, a cute scarf and smooth silky coats. The love and attention she puts into every dog is incredible and we will be back 100%.”

Thank you so much for trusting me with your beautiful babies ✨🐺🐾
