✨✂️ SKILL DEVELOPMENT ✂️✨

Our salon owner Fiona attended a training day in Norfolk with Fiona Brook, poodle expert 🐩✨
Fiona took her mini poodle Lando for an unreal transformation. Swipe >>> for before pic!

We are always striving to develop and strengthen our skills at Fancy Paws. Not many customers will be asking for this particular trim, it’s unbelievably high maintenance, but the skills learned can easily be transferred into any groom. It’s important to continually improve our knowledge and strive for the highest standards.

We are always learning 🐩🩶✨

STOP SCROLLING ‼️

LOOKY HERE 👀
A DATE FOR YOUR DIAIRIES!

On Sunday 19th July we will be holding a fundraising event for a remarkable little girl.
QUINN’S DOG WASH 🫧🐾
Beautiful Quinn is a local girl, she was diagnosed with Syngap1 at a very young age. Syngap1 is a rare genetic condition caused by a mutation in the SYNGAP1 gene. It primarily leads to moderate-to-severe intellectual disability, epilepsy (starting in childhood), and autism spectrum disorder. There is currently no cure, but treatments focus on managing seizures and developmental symptoms.

Quinn has been accepted onto a pioneering medical treatment at Neurocytonix, in Mexico! This is a non invasive 28 day intensive treatment using electro magnetic stimulation, enabling brain growth!
It’s seen fantastic results in helping & controlling epilepsy, lowering seizures and giving better quality of life to many children.

HOW CAN YOU HELP???

We are holding a fundraising Dog Wash for Quinn at Fancy Paws on Sunday 19th July. All proceeds raised will go straight towards the funds needed for Quinn’s treatment in Mexico!
Your dog will get a lovely freshen up and you’ll also be doing something truly wonderful to help this little girl reclaim some quality of life! Wouldn’t that be just amazing! 🤩
A minimum donation will apply in relation to dog breed/size. We urge you to book for this event, although there will be a team of six of us, spaces will be limited!
So pick up your phone, message us via our socials, text or call on 07936 012571 to reserve a slot for your dog.
**Terms and conditions will apply**

YOU DONT HAVE A DOG?
You can still make a difference and show your support by donating via the QR code. There will also be a fun day held at Sellindge Sports & Social Club on Sunday 16th August! Let’s get this girl to Mexico!! 🇲🇽

FEELING HOT HOT HOT 🥵

‼️ Customer notice ‼️

With the current temperatures we are taking your dog’s safety in the salon extremely seriously.
We will be assessing the heat throughout the day and if we feel it is too much for your dog, appointments may need to be rearranged or cancelled for their wellbeing.

A few things we kindly ask:
-Please avoid walking your dog before their appointment
- We always have fresh water available, but please bring water for the car journeys to and from the salon
- Please collect your dogs on time
- If your dog is struggling in the heat at home and you need to rearrange, please let us know with as much notice as possible.

We do have air conditioning in the salon and we ensure the dryers are used without the heat setting. But even with these measures in place, heat exhaustion is a real risk in this weather.

Thank you for understanding while we do everything we can to keep your dogs safe, comfortable and happy during this hot weather.

💚💚 CRUFTS 2026 💚💚

Just coming down from a Crufts high 😍

Whilst our lovely Nichola was holding the fort and kept the salon running, Fee, Mel and Lilly travelled up to the NEC to attend Crufts, the biggest dog event of the year! 💚

This year Crufts was slightly different especially for Fee and her miniature poodle Lando. Many of our regulars will know that Fee has dipped her toe into the showing world as her mini man Lando is a natural in the show ring.

At 11 months of age Lando debuted in the Miniature Poodle Puppy class on the iconic green carpet last weekend. He showed his little socks off! Took it all in his stride and soaked up every ounce of attention. He placed 2nd and qualified for Crufts 2027 💚✨

It’s been quite a busy few days but we are bursting with pride for this little man and his exciting future ahead 💚💚💚

Little superstar ✨

Everyone knows we love a poodle here at Fancy Paws! 🐩
So it was just lovely meeting Freddie today for the first time. Freddie’s previous groomer had groomed him since a pup and he’s now 9 years young 🤍
His groomer has now moved away and we were recommended to Freddie’s owner. It truly is a privilege to be entrusted with your pups but it’s even sweeter to hear we are highly thought of!
Thank you for choosing us Freddie and Brigitte 🤍🤍🤍

🌟 Merry Christmas one and all 🌟

Well that’s a wrap on yet another year!

We have been truly blessed to be able to continue doing the job we love. It would not have been possible without all of you! Your loyalty and support has been incredible and unwavering. For the ones that have been with us since the very beginning to the newcomers that we welcome with open arms! Thank you so much. We appreciate each and every one of you! ❤️💚

It’s been a tough year, we have said goodbye to many special ones that have crossed rainbow bridge 🌈🐾 we feel their loss as much as you!

Our socials have been very quiet this year, Fiona’s dad sadly passed, so time away from online has been very much needed. Thank you to all of your kindness and understanding during this time.

Life is never easy, but being kind goes a long way. We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 💚❤️

***The salon is closed until Monday 5th January 2026, when normal opening hours will resume. The phone is now switched off so we can enjoy a well deserved break with our family and loved ones. Messages will be answered on our return on the 5th Jan.
