🐾 A little update to our Doggy Dayspa hours 🐾
As we head into the warmer months, we’re making a small change to the way we structure our working week — helping us look after our team while continuing to give every pup the time, patience and care they deserve. 🤍
From 1 October 2026, our standard hours will be:
🕖 Monday–Friday | 7:00am–2:30pm
🐶 Saturday | By appointment only + Saturday service charge
Appointments requested after 2:30pm Monday–Friday will still be available where we can accommodate them, but will be charged at our after-hours rate.
And don’t worry — if you already have an appointment booked, nothing changes. These new arrangements only apply to new bookings made moving forward.
So, why the change?
As Doggy Dayspa has grown, so has our responsibility to make sure we’re building a business that looks after the people behind it too. That means respecting our team’s working hours and ensuring overtime is paid appropriately when we ask them to work outside those hours.
We’ve also learnt something over the years about summer… ☀️🐕
As the weather warms up, so do the number of “Any chance you can squeeze us in?” messages!
We genuinely love helping where we can, but we also know that squeezing more and more dogs into an already full day isn’t fair on our team — and, most importantly, it isn’t fair on the dogs in our care.
We never want grooming to become a race against the clock.
Every pup deserves patience, kindness, attention and compassion, whether they’re our first appointment of the morning or our last. Maintaining healthy working hours means our groomers have the time and energy to slow down, read the dog in front of them and provide the standard of care we believe in.
We’ll still do our very best to help when something genuinely urgent pops up. After-hours and Saturday appointments will simply be subject to availability and the applicable service charge.
Thank you, as always, for supporting our little business as it grows — and for allowing us to grow it in a way that looks after our people and your pups. 🐾🤍
