🎄✨ DECEMBER BOOKINGS ARE NOW OPEN! ✨🎄

Can you believe Christmas is just around the corner?!

Our December bookings are officially OPEN, which means it’s time to get your Christmas grooming appointments locked in!

At K9 Corner, we open our bookings 3 months in advance. At the end of each month, we release the next month’s appointments so our clients can plan ahead and secure the day and time that works best for them.

If your pup needs a fresh groom before Christmas, we recommend booking early. December appointments are always in high demand and once the calendar fills, we may not be able to squeeze everyone in.

Book your December appointment now so you don’t miss out!

We can’t wait to get your pups Christmas-ready!

💛Puppy introduction

This appointment is the perfect first introduction to the grooming salon and plays an important role in setting your puppy up for a lifetime of positive grooming experiences.

We recommend introducing your puppy to grooming as soon as they are fully vaccinated. The earlier your puppy becomes familiar with the sights, sounds, and handling involved in grooming, the easier and more enjoyable the process will be for your puppy, for you, and for the groomer as they grow.

Our goal is for dogs to feel happy and comfortable when arriving at the salon. While this doesn’t always come naturally for every puppy, we are committed to working gently and patiently with each individual. If your puppy shows signs of anxiety or uncertainty, we will work closely with you to support them. This may include simple tips and strategies you can practise at home to help desensitise your puppy and build confidence over time, with the aim of calm, stress-free grooming in the future.

This introductory appointment takes approximately 20–30 minutes.

During your puppy’s early visits, we like to make it a positive and enjoyable experience. Puppies are given plenty of gentle handling, reassurance, play, and affection, and are gradually introduced to common salon sounds such as dryers and clippers.

During this session we may:

Trim nails
Hygiene clip pads and groin
Tidy around the eyes and feet if required

At the end of the appointment, we will provide you with a verbal update on your puppy’s experience in the salon, along with guidance and advice to support their future grooming visits.

Please note: A bath is not included with this service.

Well… this wasn’t quite the drying plan we had in mind 😂

The power decided to go out just after Echo’s bath, so Lori had to take advantage of the sunshine and give this fluffy girl a good brush while she dried naturally! 🌞

Sometimes you’ve just gotta work with what you’ve got!

From Winter Floof to Spring Fresh!🌸

Look at our gorgeous girl Maia!

July: Cosy winter groom, keeping her a little extra fluffy for those chilly days.

August: A fresh spring cut, ready for those warmer days ahead!

It’s getting closer to summer and we’re slowly starting to get some warmer days! Which means it’s almost time for those fluffy winter coats to come off and the fresh summer cuts to begin!

Maia is looking absolutely gorgeous either way, but I think she’s definitely ready to welcome spring! 🌷

Winter Maia or Spring Maia… which look do you prefer?

Meet Dash 🥹❤️ One of my absolute favourites!

Dash is the perfect example of why grooming isn’t always as easy as it looks 😂 He is THE sweetest boy, gets so excited to come see us, loves his cuddles and gives the best kisses… but grooming? Yeah, not his favourite activity 😅

This little video shows a bit of what actually happens behind the scenes. We work with Dash at his pace, give him breaks when he needs them, lots of reassurance and plenty of cuddles along the way.

And the funniest part? After giving us a little “warning,” he immediately feels bad and comes back for kisses 🥹

Not every dog enjoys being groomed, and that doesn’t make them a bad dog. Our job is to understand their communication, keep them as comfortable and safe as possible, and work with them rather than against them.

And yes… we ended with a celebration dance!

Dash, we love you even if you don’t love groomindance!

🍯 Meet Honey! 🍯

This gorgeous 5-month-old Cocker Spaniel came in yesterday for a lovely bath and tidy, including gently stripping out her loose undercoat. Look at that sweet little face! 🥹

**A little coat-care lesson!**

Did you know that stripping out a dog’s loose undercoat is different from shaving their coat?

With a double-coated or naturally shedding coat, removing the loose undercoat helps get rid of dead, loose hair while leaving the healthy outer coat intact. It can help keep the coat feeling lighter, cleaner and more manageable without changing the natural structure of the coat.

Shaving, on the other hand, removes the coat much closer to the skin. Depending on the individual dog and their coat, the hair may not grow back exactly the same as it was before. It can sometimes come back softer, thicker, patchy or with a different texture or colour.

**But here's the important part:** there isn't one "right" choice for every dog!

Every dog, coat and lifestyle is different, and sometimes shaving or clipping is absolutely the best and most practical option for that particular dog. The most important thing is that owners have the information they need to make the choice that works best for their pooch. ❤️

Our goal is simply to help educate owners about the different options available, so you can make an informed decision about your dog's coat care.

And Honey? She was an absolute sweetheart for her puppy groom! 💛
