🐾✨ Three legs, one BIG personality! ✨🐾

This little chihuahua came in for a lovely bath and brush, with a little tidy-up of those longer, wispy hairs to give her a neat and polished finish. 🛁🧼💕

And honestly… she absolutely rocked her three-legged strut! 🥹🐶

💡 Did you know? Dogs are amazingly adaptable when they lose a limb. They can learn to redistribute their weight and balance surprisingly quickly, and many three-legged dogs continue to enjoy walks, playtime, zoomies and all the important business of being a dog! 🐕💨

A few things that can help our tripod pups thrive:
🐾 Keeping them at a healthy weight reduces extra strain on their remaining legs.
🐾 Regular, gentle exercise helps build strength and maintain mobility.
🐾 Non-slip surfaces can make getting around much easier.
🐾 Their remaining limbs deserve a little extra care, as they take on more of the workload.

Most importantly, a missing leg doesn’t mean a missing life — it just means doing things a little differently. ❤️

And this gorgeous girl certainly hasn’t let three legs slow her down! 🥰🐾

🐶 Yup. That’s an empty table. 🐶

An empty table that should have had a dog on it today. 😂

Today we’ve had 3 appointments booked, confirmed, and reminded… and 3 no-shows.

Now, we’re a friendly bunch and we like to give people the benefit of the doubt. Life happens! Kids happen. Work happens. Partners happen. The dog’s haircut sometimes ends up somewhere near the bottom of the never-ending to-do list. We genuinely get it. ❤️

BUT… today’s no-shows have cost our little salon £190.

And for a small business, that’s a pretty big chunk of money to lose in a day. It simply isn’t sustainable.

So, if you need to cancel your appointment, please just tell us. 🙏

You don’t need to invent an unwell relative. You don’t need to get your aunty to phone in sick on your behalf. 😂 And we won’t even ask why!

Just pop us a message and let us know you’re not going to make it.

That means we can offer the appointment to someone on our waiting list — and another dog gets to have their very important ✨glow-up✨. 🐕✂️

We’re not here to make anyone feel bad. We just need a little bit of notice so we can keep our tiny business ticking along.

Life happens. We understand. Just please let us know. ❤️

Thank you for supporting our small business — and for helping us keep those tables occupied! 🐾

🐾 We don’t usually share the before photos… but come on, look at this little guy! 😍🛁 He looked far too cute in the shower this morning not to share!

And did you know this is one of our THREE baths here at Only Dogs? 🐶✨

We’ve got:

🛁 Our built-in raised bath — perfect for pups who are happy to be lifted in.

🐾 Our built-in step-in bath — designed so dogs of all sizes and mobility levels can simply walk straight in from the floor. No lifting required!

⬆️ Our electric riser bath — dogs can hop in at floor level, and we can raise them up to a comfortable working height. Better for them… and MUCH kinder to our backs! 😂

Between our three baths, there really is something for every dog. 💕
Big or small. Young or elderly. Super athletic or a little less mobile. Whatever their breed, size or individual needs, we want every dog to feel included, comfortable and cared for. 🐕❤️

And now the kids are back at school… why not treat your four-legged baby to a little me time? 🛁✨

📅 Book your pooch in for a pamper — they deserve it! 🐾

🐾 Today’s behavioural groom came with a little battle scar… 🩹😂

Well… he managed to catch me today! It’s a rare occurrence, but one of the occupational hazards of grooming the dogs that other groomers won’t accept. ❤️

This little guy is a rescue and, despite being impeccably behaved for his groom, he is absolutely deathly terrified of having his nails trimmed. We’re talking full-on, fight-for-your-life mode when we attempt something as simple as a nail trim. 😢

And whilst it’s not unusual for dogs to dislike having their nails done, there’s often a reason behind it. Sometimes they’ve had a nail trimmed too far in the past and caught the quick — which is painful. Understandably, they can then remember nail trims as something scary and painful.

Today, I unfortunately became part of his escape plan… 😬🐶🩹

The good news is that the bite isn’t serious, and we were still able to safely finish his groom and his nails. 🙌

Our hope is that, with time, patience and plenty of positive experiences, we can help him understand that nail trims don’t have to hurt. Ideally, whilst keeping all of our fingers intact in the process! 😂

💛 This is why we’re so passionate about working with dogs who find grooming stressful.

We’ll always do our best to work with a dog rather than simply expecting them to tolerate something they find frightening. We have lots of techniques and approaches to help dogs understand the grooming process and, whilst they might never learn to love every part of it, we can often help them learn to accept it, cope with it and feel safe.

But, as always, prevention is kinder than cure. 🐾

Introducing puppies to grooming from an early age, keeping those first experiences positive and teaching them that handling, brushing and nail trims are nothing to fear can make such a difference to their confidence for life.

So, if you’ve got a young dog, pop in for a chat! ❤️

We’d love to help you introduce them to grooming — or even just nail trims — in a calm, positive way, helping to build that lifelong trust from the very first snip. ✂️🐶

And yes… my thumb will survive. 😉🩹

🐾 Did you know Cockapoos are by far the most common breed we groom? 🐾

And it’s really no surprise when you look at this adorable little face! 😍 Those fluffy legs, gorgeous big eyes and wonderfully happy personalities make Cockapoos such popular family companions.

A mix of Cocker Spaniel and Poodle, they’re loving, active and always ready for an adventure. But there is one little downside to all that gorgeous fluff… it has a habit of collecting everything! 😂

Cockapoos love exploring, and with their noses often firmly planted to the ground on walks, little twigs, grass seeds and bits of debris can easily get caught up in those lovely curls. 🌿🐶

That’s why regular grooming is so important for these guys — helping to keep their coats clean, comfortable and free from tangles.

Little George is a regular visitor to us, which means he’s always kept in tip-top condition and ready for his next adventure! 💕✂️

If your pup could do with a little pampering, we’d love to chat about their grooming needs.

📅 We have limited spaces available for new clients in September, so get in touch to find out more!

🐾 Can you guess who left THIS behind?! 👀

Swipe to reveal the culprit… ➡️🐶

Yep… our handsome German Shepherd! 😳😂

We have taken a mountain of hair from this gorgeous boy! ⛰️🐕‍🦺 And while German Shepherds are definitely known for shedding, regular de-shedding is important for ALL breeds, including those who don’t traditionally spring to mind when you think “grooming parlour”. ✂️🛁

De-shedding helps remove loose, dead coat before it ends up all over your sofa, clothes and everywhere else 😂 It can also help keep the coat healthier, reduce tangles and matting, improve airflow to the skin and make it much easier for owners to keep on top of their dog’s coat at home.

For this handsome chap, we also trimmed his trousers ✂️🍑 — not for fashion (although we think he looks pretty smart! 😉), but to help reduce the risk of matting and make those fluffy areas much easier for his owners to maintain between grooms.

And remember… grooming isn’t just for the traditionally “fluffy” or long-coated breeds. Every dog can benefit from a little TLC! 🥰

🎒 Now the kids are back at school, why not give little Fido some well-earned pampering too?

📅 We have space for new clients in September!

Drop us a message to book your dog’s appointment and let’s get them feeling fresh, comfortable and fabulous. 🐾❤️

Another fantastic Emmi-pet result for this lovely Lab! 🐾🦷

As an older boy who loves his food so much that he forgets to chew, his teeth weren’t getting the natural cleaning they needed, allowing plaque to build up.

Using our noise-free, vibration-free and, most importantly, anaesthetic-free dental cleaning, we were able to gently lift away the plaque and help maintain his gum health. 💙

Whilst our dental cleaning doesn’t replace a veterinary dental, it can help prolong the time between visits and reduce the amount of work needed when a vet dental is required.

And, as always, prevention is so much kinder than cure. ❤️

Sessions are just £45 to start. So if your dogs breath is starting to get a little whiffy, get in touch

We all know how much toothache hurts — and our pets deserve to be comfortable too. 🐶

🐾✨ Ralphie’s first groom! ✨🐾

What a little superstar! 🥰 Ralphie came in for his very first grooming session, and we were able to give him a full bath, nail trim, tidy those adorable little teddy toes 🧸🐾 and clear his eyes so we could see that gorgeous face properly again!

With a little patience, lots of gentle care and plenty of tasty treats, Ralphie is already learning that holding still = yummy rewards! 🥰🍪

And, of course, once the grooming was finished, it was time for some well-earned playtime off the table! 🎾💨

Setting puppies up for a lifetime of positive grooming experiences is honestly one of our absolute favourite parts of what we do. 💕 Starting slowly, building trust and making grooming feel like a fun and happy experience can make such a difference as they grow.

🐶 Got a little puppy joining your family?

Our puppy sessions are just £25, and they can come back for as many sessions as they need while they’re learning the ropes.

Start off as we mean to go on — positive, friendly and full of fun! 🐾💗

📍 Have you herd? 🐾😂

These two have been in for a proper collie pamper! 💕 Both had a conditioning bath, a good brush through and then a thorough de-shed to get rid of all that loose, dead coat.

They’re now feeling fresh, fluffy (but less fluffy! 😉) and much more comfortable in their coats.

We also tidied up those adorable little Grinch feet 🥹🐾, trimmed their nails, and MJ even had his teeth cleaned too! 🦷✨

And if you’re finding your clothes are developing their very own layer of collie fluff… 👀😂

Maybe it’s time to book your own pooch in for a de-shed!

Because what you haven’t herd is how much fluff can come out of one dog! 🐶💨 just look at that Shih Tzu size pile of shed coat 🧥
