Yappy Friday everyone! Just wanted to say a huge thank to everyone this week who has moved their dogs appointments and come in early mornings. To keep their dog safe and cool in the salon during the heatwave. 💖

I only now have 29th July available next month! Another big thank you to you all, for all the amazing support and helping Paws 4 Effect business grow 🫶 I do have a cancellation list if you wish to be added.

I hope everyone stays safe today and keeps cool ☀️🙌

A massive thank you as always to all my clients for their support, I am surprised to see that I am nearly fully booked for next month and it's not even July yet! 😱🫶🙌

I highly recommend booking 4-6 weeks in advance to get those days and times you need.

I hope everyone is keeping cool. I am only working mornings these next couple of days to keep all your furry friends cool during their grooming appointments. ☀️

🌿 New: Desensitisation Sessions – £15🌿

Following on for the positive reinforcement and Tellington Touch.I'm now offering 30-minute desensitisation sessions designed to help nervous, anxious, or inexperienced dogs become more comfortable in the salon environment.

During these sessions, your dog can:

🐾 Explore the salon at their own pace
🐾 Become familiar with grooming equipment, sounds and smells
🐾 Receive positive reinforcement for investigating new experiences
🐾 Build confidence in a calm, pressure-free environment

These sessions can be especially beneficial for dogs who:

• Feel anxious about grooming
• Have had a previous negative experience
• Are puppies preparing for future grooms
I'll also provide advice on simple exercises you can practise at home to continue building your dog's confidence between appointments.

💛 My goal is simple: to create trust, confidence and a relaxed environment where your dog feels safe and understood.

Let's work together to help your pooch walk into the salon willingly, settle happily, and enjoy their time at Paws 4 Effect. 🫶🐾

☀️HOT PAVEMENT WARNING☀️

Yes, even on warm days, in certain conditions, pavements can become hot enough to cause pain, discomfort and even burn your dog’s paws. Although you may think your dog’s paw pads are quite tough, it’s important to remember that they are still made of skin and can be just as sensitive as the bottom of your feet.

On sunny days, pavements can often be deceptively hot and will usually be much warmer than the air outside. Dark and dense pavements easily absorb heat from the sun and are good at keeping hold of it and releasing it slowly. Natural surfaces, including grass, tend to be much cooler, as plants release water to help cool themselves down.

🔸HOW TO CHECK🔸
The best way to tell if a pavement is too hot for your dog to walk on is to place the back of your hand on the pavement for seven seconds. If it’s too painful for your hand, then it’s too painful for your dog’s paws.

If you notice that your dog is limping, looking uncomfortable or whimpering, then look at the bottom of their paws and check the temperature of the pavement with the back of your hand. If your dog’s paws look red, swollen or blistered then it’s important that you quickly take them off the hot pavement and contact your vet for advice as soon as possible.
