Maternity Leave Update
I just wanted to let everyone know that I’ll be going on maternity leave from mid-May (all being well), as I’m currently experiencing a few complications.
I’ve had lots of people asking when I’ll be returning, and the honest answer is that I don’t know yet. My focus will be on my recovery and enjoying time with my baby, so I won’t be setting a return date in advance. As soon as I have any updates, I’ll share them — but for now I’d really appreciate your understanding while plans remain open.
If you’d like an appointment before mid-May, please make sure you book in as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
When it comes to recommendations for other dog groomers, it’s always down to personal preference — what works well for one dog or owner may not suit another. If I feel your dog would benefit from a 1:1 groomer, I’ll let you know. There are plenty of highly skilled local groomers who are aware that I’ll be taking some time off.
I also want to say that over the past few weeks I’ve received a small number of rude and unnecessary comments. I understand that changes can be frustrating, but kindness and respect are really important to me and my business. I won’t be accepting disrespectful communication going forward and appreciate everyone’s understanding with this.
Thank you all so much for your continued support and kindness — it really does mean a lot 🤍
