🐾 Appointments 🐾

This week I’m trying to get on top of all my admin, so please help a gal out! 🙏

If you know you don’t currently have any future grooming appointments booked in, please send me a message so I can get everyone organised and up to date. This includes Sandgate Boarding and Day Care
customers!

I’ll be away and not working from 11th June, returning on the 22nd June.

Availability is limited throughout July, with more appointments becoming available in August.

Please keep this in mind if you’re thinking about making changes, rebooking, or cancelling appointments.

I’ll always do my best to accommodate where I can, but unfortunately I can’t always guarantee availability.

Thank you, as always, for keeping me so busy. Your support means the world to me and is never taken for granted. ❤️🐶

Love, Lydia x

Important Read on Grooming Overweight Dogs!

In just under 8 weeks’ time, I’ll be running the Leeds Marathon — something I always said I would never do. But here I am, doing it in the memory of my amazing husband, Kieran.

Kieran was just 25 when he was diagnosed with Cancer of the Unknown Primary in early 2024.

From the moment he was diagnosed, he faced every day with incredible strength and courage, always trying to be strong for the people he loved most. Despite everything he went through, he never lost his kindness, humour, or the way he lit up a room.

Sadly, Kieran lost his battle on 6th October 2024 at the age of just 26.

Anyone who knew Kieran knows how special he was. He truly was a shining light in so many lives, and I want to do something that honours his strength and keeps his memory alive.

I’m raising money for A Shining Light, an incredible charity that works alongside Teenage Cancer Trust. The charity is dedicated to educating and raising awareness of cancer in young people, while also supporting them to improve their physical and mental health during and after treatment.

They also work with the Castle Hill Teenage Cancer ward in Hull, where Kieran spent the majority of his treatment before later moving to Leeds General Infirmary. Knowing that some of the money raised will directly support the ward where Kieran was cared for makes this cause even more meaningful to me.

If you are able to donate, no matter how small, it would mean so much. Your support will help other young people facing cancer get the care, support and opportunities they deserve.

Thank you for helping me honour Kieran and support an incredible cause.

Please share 💙💖

✨ That’s a wrap for 2025! ✨

I’m officially finished for the year and I just want to say the biggest thank you to each and every one of you for your continued support throughout 2025. It truly means more than you know.

Thank you so much for all the cards, gifts, and treats — I’ve been absolutely spoilt and I’m so grateful 🥰

I honestly can’t believe that 3 years ago I was getting ready to leave my job in property to start my grooming training… where has that time gone?! What started as a big leap of faith has turned into something I’m so proud of, and I couldn’t have done it without you all.

Whether you’ve been with me since the very beginning or have recently joined the pack, thank you for trusting me with your precious puppas and for supporting my small business — it never goes unnoticed 🤍🐶

Wishing you and your beautiful puppas a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy New Year. I can’t wait to see you all in 2026!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart,
Lydia ✨🐾

✈️ I’m on my way to the airport!
I won’t be responding to messages now until I’m back to work on 11th December — my suitcase simply couldn’t squeeze my diary in hahaha! 😅

✨ December Appointment Reminder ✨
Please double-check your appointment times for December. If you’re unsure, feel free to ask (when I’m back!). December is fully booked and appointments are running back-to-back, so please try your best to arrive on time, or let me know if you’re running late. It really helps the day run smoothly for everyone 🐾💙

Thank you all, and I’ll see you soon to continue the mad Christmas rush 🐶✂️✨
