Dora's Dapper Dogs

🐾 The apprentice decided he was missing out! 🐾

After watching all the dogs come in for their glow-ups, he decided it was finally his turn!

To be fair, he was looking a bit like he’d been dragged backwards through a hedge although, if you know him, you’ll know there’s every chance he’d done it himself, probably at full speed and entirely by choice.

So, he had a little tidy-up and now he’s got much neater ears and is rather pleased with his fresh new look!

Safe to say, the apprentice is feeling very fancy now… although he’ll probably be doing his best to look slightly more feral again as soon as possible! 😂🐾

These two teeny Chihuahuas are just too cute

Even short haired coats benefit from a good bath and groom!
This handsome boy enjoyed a lovely bubbly bath followed by a good deshed to help remove all that loose, shedding fur.
From covered in bubbles to squeaky clean, smooth and looking very smart!

Short haired doesn’t mean no grooming needed. regular baths and desheds help keep the coat clean, healthy and reduce loose hair around the home

Happy 1st birthday to this handsome boy! 🥳🎂

From his very first puppy groom to today’s birthday groom. he looks so grown up now!

Apprentice Remi was also on hand to inspect my work… at full speed! 😂💨 Unfortunately, his inspection consisted mainly of chasing the birthday boy around while insisting it was playtime and causing his usual amount of chaos. So I’m not sure he’ll be passing his quality control exam anytime soon!

But he did sit still for approximately half a second for a picture, so I suppose he gets some credit for that!

Before & After: Paw Tidy 🐾
A paw tidy isn't just about looking neat! Trimming the hair between the pads helps prevent matting, reduces trapped dirt and grass seeds, improves grip on slippery surfaces, and keeps paws more comfortable overall. 🐶✨

When you arrive at one of your regular clients and get greeted by a puppy at the door 🐾🥹

Made my day! Safe to say I got plenty of puppy cuddles, and the puppy got a little pedicure in return

Don't worry, my regular girly wasn't forgotten about. she got plenty of cuddles and attention too, along with her full groom and left looking just as fabulous as ever 🐾

This very sweet little girl came in for a trim 🐾
Being so tiny, she’s a magnet for grass seeds, leaves, twigs getting stuck in her hair. She also gets tangled quite easily, so she’s had a lovely tidy up to make her coat easier to manage

Employee wellbeing initiative in action 🐾
With the warmer temperatures, today’s enrichment programme involved a cooling station featuring water, frozen vegetables and chicken.

Initial feedback has been extremely positive, with high levels of engagement, enthusiasm, and a notable reluctance to leave the activity area. alongside repeated requests for more chicken and fewer vegetables.
Current performance review: Excellent effort, questionable table manners. ☀️🐶
