🧡 Every Dog Deserves to Feel Safe and Understood 🧡

At Vanity Fur VIP, grooming is more than just a hair cut — it's about building trust, comfort, and connection.

As a "Taking the Grrr out of Grooming Your Dog" Approved Groomer, I specialise in working with dogs who need a little bit of extra care — whether due to anxiety, age, physical limitations, or simply because they’re still learning about the world.

From nervous rescue pups to senior dogs with mobility issues, every dog I meet is treated with patience, empathy, and respect. I adapt each session to suit their individual needs. Just calm energy, gentle handling, and a safe space to build confidence. This also requires input from you, the owner, if a positive experience for your dog is going to be achieved.

🐾Some dogs need time. Some need breaks. Some just need to feel heard — and that’s what they’ll get here.

🐾Grooming shouldn’t be scary — it should be part of their wellness and happiness.

📞 If you have a dog with special requirements and want to work with me then I’d love to chat about how we can make grooming a positive experience. Call 07787 046684

🧡Pet Poison Prevention Month🧡

Pet Poison Prevention Month is observed every March to raise awareness about the dangers of poisoning to pets and how to prevent it.

Here are some key tips for preventing pet poisoning:

👀Toxic Foods: Many foods we eat daily can be dangerous to pets, including chocolate, grapes, raisins, onions, garlic, alcohol, and certain artificial sweeteners like xylitol.

👀Household Chemicals: Be mindful of cleaning products, fertilizers, pesticides, and plants that could be toxic. Keep them out of reach and store them securely.

👀Medications: Never give pets human medications unless directed by a vet. Even over-the-counter drugs like painkillers or vitamins can be harmful.

👀Plant Safety: Many common plants (e.g., lilies, azaleas, poinsettias, bulbs) are toxic to pets. Know which plants are safe for your home and garden.

👀Pet-proofing Your Home: Be mindful of small objects or foods that pets might ingest. Keep toxic items in secure cabinets or drawers.

✨KNOW THE SYMPTOMS: Common signs of poisoning in pets include drooling, vomiting, diarrhoea, lethargy, seizures, or changes in behaviour. If you suspect your pet has ingested something toxic, contact a vet or an emergency animal poison hotline immediately.

Raising awareness during Pet Poison Prevention Month can help prevent many avoidable tragedies. Share to raise awareness.

🧡 3 Common Dog Grooming Myths Debunked! 🧡

Grooming your dog is essential for their health and happiness, but there are plenty of myths out there that can cause confusion. Let’s set the record straight! 🚫✂️

1️⃣ Myth: "I only need to groom my dog if they're dirty."
Fact: Regular grooming is important, even if your dog looks clean. It helps prevent matting, reduces shedding, and promotes healthy skin and coat.

2️⃣ Myth: "All dogs need the same grooming routine."
Fact: Different breeds have different needs! Whether it’s brushing, nail trimming, or ear cleaning, your dog’s grooming routine should be customized to their breed and coat type.

3️⃣ Myth: "Bathing my dog too often is bad for them."
Fact: While over-bathing can strip natural oils, regular baths with the right quality dog products are key to keeping your dog’s skin healthy, especially if they're active or prone to skin issues.

Regular grooming is key to keeping your dog looking and feeling their best!
Have you heard of any other grooming myths? Drop them in the comments!

🧡What I got up to during my two days at Crufts!🧡

I've just spent the last two days at Crufts indulging in some serious shopping for *many* grooming supplies (shh, don’t tell the other half! 😉) and watching some incredible groomers in action. ✂️✨ See the pictures from the two days.

I had the pleasure of meeting Sue Williamson, the amazing founder of Taking the Grrr Out of Grooming Your Dogs, and we had a great discussion about how to best work with dogs that struggle with being groomed. I'm one of the few Approved Groomers for Taking the Grrr Out of Grooming Your Dogs—such an honour! 🎉 This program is all about making grooming a positive experience for both dogs and their owners, and I'm thrilled to be part of it. 🐶💙
If you want to learn more or join a fantastic community of dog lovers, check out Sue’s Facebook group:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/takingthegrrroutofgroomingdogs/

One of the most heart-warming experiences was discovering the amazing charity Notodogmeat , who are fighting against the horrific slaughter of animals for food, fur, and ‘traditional’ medicine. They rescue dogs and cats that are destined for the meat trade, giving them a second chance at life. The adorable pup pictured on the floor, is one of the lucky ones who was rescued and is now in a loving home. 🐶💕
You can support them here: https://www.facebook.com/NoToDogMeat 💙

🐾Top Tip 🐾 - if you ever visit Crufts I recommend the Discover Dogs area its a great place to see so many different dog breeds up close. If you're thinking of getting a new dog and not sure what breed to get then you can see the different dogs and discuss the breeds with the people that know all about them.

🧡🐾 Meet Our Nervous Pupster! 🐾🧡

I had the pleasure of grooming this sweet little girl last week! 💕 She’s a bit nervous when Mum and Dad aren’t around (understandably!), but once she settles in, she’s an absolute star 🌟. It’s always so rewarding to see how much trust these little dogs place in me. 🐶✂️

Check out her transformation in the video! 💅❤️ I can’t wait to see her again soon.

🧡✨ Glow Up Time for My Silver Miniature Poodle! ✨🧡

Just gave my little fella a bath and brush, along with some concentrated conditioning oil and a quick scissor trim to keep those ends neat and tidy. Regular grooming helps keep his coat in tip-top shape, preventing matting and maintaining his coat that is in super condition!

As a proud owner of my Cockapoo and Poodle, I know how tricky curly coats can be! But don’t worry, regular professional bath & brushes are the best way to keep matting at bay.

If you're struggling with your dog's coat or just want advice on how to prevent matting, feel free to reach out! I’m always here to help. 🐾

For the best grooming options to keep your curly-coated companion looking fabulous, contact me today at 07787 046684.
