Perfect Pooches dog grooming Crofton

Hi everyone, I just wanted to be honest and say how I’m feeling at the moment.

My life literally revolves around work. I’ve had one full week off all year, and I always put work first. Even when I’m already fully booked, I somehow find myself squeezing more dogs in. For the past three years, my New Year’s resolution has been to have a better work-life balance, but unfortunately it never seems to last very long.

If I’m honest, I’ve been really struggling with everything for a while now. I very rarely get to spend time with Finley, and he’s always saying that all I do is work. We only really have Sundays together and I know something needs to change.

I’m constantly feeling poorly and I can’t keep up with working six days a week, especially with such a physically demanding job. It’s starting to affect my health, particularly my diabetes as well as my home life.

So from now onwards I’ll be cutting back my hours and not working as much. If I say I’m fully booked, then I really am fully booked. I need to start putting some boundaries in place and prioritising my health and family.

I’m also in the process of setting up a booking system and now have a separate phone for work. This means I won’t have my work phone with me in the evenings or when I’m off work, so I can properly switch off and spend time with my family.

My prices will also be changing slightly for some dogs. I’ve kept my prices low for a long time, but with everything going up I simply can’t continue doing that anymore. Everyone will be added to the new booking system, where the updated prices will be available. If you need to cancel because of the price change, I completely understand and there will be absolutely no hard feelings.

My cancellation policy will also be managed through the booking system. Reminder texts will be sent out, and unfortunately no-shows and late cancellations that cannot be filled will be charged.

I hope everyone understands that these changes are something I really need to do for my health, my family and myself. I’m so grateful for every single one of you and for all the support you’ve given me and my business. ❤️

Thanks,
Jodie 🐶💜

Hi everyone! Just a reminder that I’ll be away on holiday from Sunday 19th July and won’t be back at work until Monday 27th July.

Any messages I receive during this time will be replied to once I’m back.

If you’re still waiting to hear from me about your next appointment, please send me a message and I’ll get back to you before I go. 😊

Thank you! 💕

Please read 😊

I’m super busy at the moment and unfortunately, I can’t always fit people in straight away. There’s only one of me, I receive a lot of messages every day. Sometimes replies take a little longer because I’m waiting to hear back from other clients before I can confirm appointments.

Please don’t send multiple messages on the same day if you haven’t had a reply yet. I do have a life outside of work, and all messages are answered in the order they’re received.

Please also don’t be upset or rude if I can’t fit your dog in at short notice. I always recommend pre-booking your next appointment before you leave to avoid disappointment.

Sorry for the moan, but I’m feeling a bit fed up at the moment 🙄 Thank you to all my lovely clients for your patience and understanding 🐶💜

I wanted to share something important following a recent and very sad incident, where a member of my pack passed away within 3 hours of visiting a well known local tulip festival 💔

🌷 Tulips (especially the bulbs) are toxic to dogs if ingested, and what’s really important to understand is how easily this can happen - particularly in places like tulip fields or large floral events.

Tulip bulbs sit just under the soil and can be very appealing for dogs to sniff (they often have a slightly sweet smell). Even a small amount - whether that’s chewing a bulb, plant material, or licking contaminated soil from paws - can lead to serious and sometimes life-threatening symptoms.

In large displays, where there are thousands or even millions of bulbs, the risk is much higher due to:
• disturbed soil from footfall
• decomposing leaves and flowers
• exposed or shallow bulbs
• lots of exciting smells encouraging digging and mouthing

⚠️ Symptoms to watch for:
• Drooling or foaming at the mouth
• Vomiting or diarrhoea
• Lethargy or weakness
• Loss of coordination / wobbliness
• Heavy or rapid breathing
• Sensitivity or unusual behaviour (including agitation or aggression)
• In more severe cases: tremors, seizures, or collapse

Some symptoms can come on quickly, while others may develop over a few hours.

If you notice any of the above, or suspect your dog may have ingested part of a tulip, seek veterinary advice immediately - it’s always better to act early.

My heart goes out to the family of my pack member, and I hope by sharing this we can help prevent any other dogs from experiencing something similar. This isn’t to cause alarm, but to raise awareness so owners can make informed, safe choices for their dogs 🐾

Please feel free to share to help spread awareness 🤎

I’m working my way through messages and booking next appointments all should be answered by the end of today. Please prebook appointments in advance or give me as much notice as possible as I’m super busy at the moment! Thanks, Jodie 🐶💜
