In a world full of people so eager to cross every breed with a Poodle, don’t lose sight of the beauty of a Staffordshire Bull Terrier.

The original family dog with a long history of being a loving and affectionate breed, that sadly fell into the wrong type of guardianship - ones who preferred to exploit their strength rather than appreciate their nature.

Here’s to the Staffies - a beautifully natured dog, just like this sweet pup, Blue 🩵

We’ve made the decision to stop using fragrance sprays as part of our grooming process.

Not because there’s something specifically wrong or harmful with them, but because we realised they no longer align with our approach to true overall wellness.

Folk love a perfumed spritz - it’s been a great addition and selling point for groomers everywhere, for years! But as we see the rise in dogs suffering with poor skin health, intolerances and allergies, we feel we have a responsibility to implement even the smallest of changes that could help reduce the load on their bodies.

What will we do instead?

Nothing.

We’ll continue using quality shampoo and conditioning products that nourish the skin and gently clean the coat. It’s really that simple.

And we promise you - they’ll still smell great.

Small changes, thoughtful choices.

Medicated shampoos absolutely have their place.

They can be an effective, topical solution for soothing irritation, discomfort and certain skin infections.

But when we see the same patterns again and again; recurring itching, sensitivities, bald patches, coat thinning and repeat flare-ups, it’s time to take a closer look at your dog’s gut health and microbiome, too.

🧬 The gut, skin barrier, immune system and environment are interconnected, and just as we understand more about the link between the gut and skin in humans, we now know there to be similar connections in our dogs, too.

🔎 So if your dog is constantly needing another bottle of medicated shampoo, it might be time to ask the question…

“Why does the problem keep coming back?”

Sometimes, we need to stop treating things in isolation and start looking at the whole dog.

It’s easy to dismiss those clipper twitches as your dog simply being ticklish or even itchy, but sometimes, the body is giving us useful information.

In some cases, it can simply be a normal reflex or response to the vibration of the clippers, but if the response is repeated, localised, stronger on one side, or accompanied by tension, avoidance, licking, changes in posture or other signs of discomfort, it’s worth paying attention. 🚨

The skin, fascia and underlying muscles are supplied with sensory nerves. Fascia wraps around muscles, connects with surrounding tissue and can become damaged or affected by inflammation and injury which can demonstrate as a sensitive to touch, movement and pressure.

🕵🏼‍♀️ A clipper reaction is a clue, not a diagnosis!

But if a dog consistently reacts to touch or grooming as though it’s painful, particularly if the sensitivity is new or worsening, an assessment by your vet is important to rule out an underlying source of pain.

And as groomers, capturing these responses on video and documenting any changes can be incredibly useful, and a great way of contributing to a vet’s overall assessment.

Pay attention to the small things…
They can make a big difference. ♥️

You might think a minor change in your dog’s day-to-day would be irrelevant, but a quick message before your dog’s appointment can make a huge difference to their grooming experience, allowing us to prioritise their physical comfort and emotional wellness above everything.

Some additional things we really need to know about include;

💬 “They have an upset tummy” - If your dog is showing signs of sickness and/or diarrhoea, it’s usually best to reschedule their appointment. Not only will they be more comfortable at home, but it helps protect the other dogs in our care, too.

💬 “They’ve had a stressful experience recently” - Moving house, a new baby, losing another pet or a traumatic event can all have a huge impact on your dog’s overall wellbeing. Keep us in the loop - we’re always here to help.

💬 “They’ve started a new medication” - New meds can sometimes affect how a dog is feeling, behaving or coping on the day. We will always keep a full record of your dog’s medical history but please update us if things change.

There’s no detail too small when it comes to your dogs - we’re privileged to care for every need. 🧡

When in doubt, tell your groomer ✨

It’s not always puppy cuddles and play…

It’s often the unattractive stuff, too.

But despite the challenging behaviours, the scratches, the hair splinters, the grooms we weren’t 100% happy with, and the dogs we’ve loved and lost…

We never forget how beautiful this job truly is. ♥️
