💜🐾 Willow’s getting braver and more beautiful! 👻🐶
The gorgeous Willow the Basset Hound was my final visitor at Ruff to Fluff today, and I’m absolutely loving how much her confidence is growing with every appointment! 🥹❤️
Would you believe this lovely girl now hops into the bath HERSELF with just a wee bit of encouragement?! 😂👏
Considering those famously short Basset legs, that’s quite an achievement! 🐾💕
Willow absolutely loves a good spa session, and bath time is a thorough affair!
With all those adorable wrinkles and folds, I take extra care to clean around everything properly, followed by TWO applications of deshedding shampoo to get that gorgeous coat beautifully clean! 🛁🫧
Then it’s onto the grooming table, which Willow also happily climbs onto herself! What a clever girl! 🥹❤️
After a good blow-dry, it was time for some serious deshedding, and WOW, did we get some hair out of this girl! 😂🐕
Of course, we couldn’t forget those magnificent Basset ears! 👂
Let’s just say Willow certainly makes me work for my money when it comes to ear cleaning! 😂 A thorough but gentle clean later, and those lovely long ears were looking much better!
With her coat feeling soft and fresh, Willow got a spritz of Princess perfume and a gorgeous purple Halloween bandana! 👻💜
Just look at that beautiful wee face! 😍
I’m so proud of how comfortable she’s becoming with her grooming routine. Seeing that confidence grow is one of my favourite parts of this job! 🥹💕
Until next time, beautiful Willow! You’re an absolute sweetheart! ❤️🐾
🐾 GROOMING FACT: Basset Hounds have long, floppy ears that can trap moisture and reduce airflow. Regular ear checks and gentle cleaning of the visible ear help maintain hygiene, while professional grooming removes loose hair and keeps their short, dense coats in lovely condition! 🐶❤️
