Pawsitively Spoiled

07/03/2022

Hey guys! A bit of a bittersweet post for you all today.

I am excited to announce the next chapter of this crazy adventure of mine! As of 07/03/2022, I will be handing over the reins of the salon to Anna at GlamDog Anna's Grooming as I shift my focus to building my own family. Anna is an accomplished groomer with many years experience in all breeds and has proven herself to be an exemplary addition to any salon.
Although I have loved taking care of all your pups and will dearly miss grooming, I am confident that Anna is more than capable of exceeding all your expectations.
I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank you all for your support over the years.
It has been an extraordinary journey but I feel now is the time to pack up my shop, take a break from grooming and throw myself headfirst into the next chapter of my life: Motherhood.

What exciting times lie ahead 😁

Please do not forget to head over to Anna's page (linked below) to check out her amazing work and show her all the support you have been gracious enough to show me over the years.

🐶Price Increase 2022🐶

Hi everyone! Due to the ever growing costs for supplies, equipment, maintenance, rent and ongoing training there will be a small price increase taking effect from January 2022.

I never take any price increases lightly but in order to stay in business I have to keep up with inflation to ensure I can continue to afford the many expenses that come with running a small business.

If you have any questions on exactly how much your dogs groom will be increasing please do not hesitate to get in touch and I will help any way I can.

Thanks so much! 😁

🎉EXCITING NEWS AT PAWSITIVELY SPOILED🎉

As some of you may already know, I am delighted to announce that I am expecting a baby in March. I would like to, first of all, take this opertunity to thank everyone who has supported me and my business over the past few years and those who continue to support me. Its certainly a very exciting time for Darren and I but it does mean that there will be some temporary changes at Pawsitively Spoiled in the near future.

👶🏻What will happen with my appointment?👶🏻

At the moment I am unable to groom larger dogs until I return from my maternity leave and I am only able to groom medium sized dogs until February. I have already contacted anyone who will be affected by this change if they were already booked in but if you have any questions just get in touch and I will be happy to help in any way I can.

👶🏻When are you on maternity leave?👶🏻

I am starting my maternity leave from the 5th of March 2022 and I am only planning on taking 2/3 months off, depending on how everything goes with our new addition. As I do not have a definitive date for coming back please just let me know if you would like me to add you to my list and I will personally let you know as soon as I am able to groom your dog again.

👶🏻How will I know what size category my dog falls into?👶🏻

If you have any questions/concerns about when your dog can be booked in please just let me know and I will do my best to help. That may be booking an appointment for your pooch or reccomending another one of Whitburns very talented groomers to take over while I am unable to service your dog.

Once again I would like to express my intense gratitude for those who have supported me and continue to do so during this time. Please do get in touch if any questions come to mind and I hope to see you all soon! Xx

🎆BONFIRE NIGHT IS HERE🎆

A time of great celebration for some but a night of dread and worry for others. Humans with PTSD or sensory issues, wildlife and our beloved pets will no doubt be anxious tonight but there are a few steps you can take to make sure your pooches are kept as calm as possible during the festivities later.

🐾 Keep walks to daylight hours when fireworks are less likely to go off.

🐾 Keep your dogs on lead and close to you at ALL times incase a firework unexpectedly goes off, a frightend dog can take off into the distance very quickly.

🐾 Make sure their collars/harnesses are done up to fit correctly so they can not be slipped out of. You can walk them in both a collar and harness with leads attached to both for extra security if needed. (A frightened dog will panic and try to escape their lead/harness).

🐾 If they need to go into the garden take them out on the lead. A frightened dog can easily clear a 6ft fence.

🐾 Create a 'safe' place for them to hide in the home, a crate covered with a blanket or a den between chairs usually works well. Dogs are den animals so having somewhere to hide will help them calm down. Don't try to coax them out of their safe space and don't try to invade their space either. Let them have their safe space to themselves. Just check up on them often.

🐾 Close doors, windows & curtains and have the radio / TV on to drown out the sound / light of the fireworks.

🐾 Act normal... if you are worried or act differently your dog will sense it and it may make their anxiety worse.

🐾 Make sure your dogs microchip details are up to date and that they are wearing an identity tag should the worst happen.

🐾 If your dog is particularly frightened of fireworks you can buy Adaptil sprays, thundershirts and snoods that seem to work well or you can get stronger medication from your vet.

🐾 If your dog does sadly go missing ensure you inform your local dog warden, microchip company, vets and rehoming group as soon as possible.

I hope everyone has a peaceful night tonight and if you are going to a public display please do not take your dog with you, their hearing is much more sensitive than ours so they will be better off at home where the noise can be drowned out xx

MASSIVE well done to for banning fireworks from its shelves. This is great news for our furry friends who struggle around bonfires night.
They originally banned them a few years ago but have confirmed the change is here to stay.
are also selling silent fireworks this year too so let's be sure to support these supermarket giants taking big steps towards a better, kinder future for all our family members... human or not 😁

I will still be closing up shop earlier over the bonfire period because people will still undoubtedly set off fireworks like every year before but this is still a massive step in the right direction!
