the shah

Who’s the boss ?   A delightful 15 month old Persian, that’s who !

Our Services were called upon to work through the Shah’s coat.  We clipped some areas away that couldn’t be saved, and brushed out the rest.  Although the Shah loves his dad to brush him, he wasn’t as keen on our clippers.  However – overall – the Shah did really well.

What he did love however, was his photo being taken afterwards …. Quite the little poser !  Here he is investigating what he’d missed whilst being inside – and playing in the sunshine, after his session.

Later, dad Tony from Little Hulton, Salford, Greater Manchester said :

“Sandra came round today, for her second visit to the SHAH. He can be very self opinionated, but she did a really good job with him. He is a long haired Persian who rules my house, but she had the knack of working with him and although he tried to fight, she was really calm with him at all times and left him back with me totally stress free. He has booked in for another grooming before Christmas.  Thank you Sandra”

….. and here is the Shah in his recently acquired cat house  ….. he’s just checking it out !

A real pleasure to work with the young man, Tony.  Looking forward to our next visit already !

cheeky charlie

Meet Charlie.   At around 2 years old he’s quite a solid young man, with a big attitude !  He’s been with his current mum about a month, and obviously now thinks he is in charge of the household !

Charlie is an indoor cat and his nails were in need of attention.  As far as we know, this was the first time Charlie had had them trimmed, and it’s fair to say he didn’t think highly of the situation.  However, a few Dreamies helped along the way …

herbie and jasper

These 2 beauties are 1 year old Herbie (white) and Jasper (tabby), who is almost 3 years.  Both lovely, mild mannered boys who enjoy mum combing them each day.  You really can tell, as their coats were lovely and knot free.  They just needed a good comb through to rid them of excess dead undercoat.

Herbie’s coat is so silky and although a little nervous to begin with, with mum’s cuddles and sweet talk, he calmed and lay patiently whilst we worked through his coat.

Jasper’s coat is much thicker and he really did loose an enormous amount of hair … His tummy will really benefit and no doubt he will feel so much better in himself.  Here he is – relaxing and  smiling away – after his groom. 

Here on the left is the dead hair that came away from Jasper’s coat.

A few days later, mum Claire from Stockport, Greater Manchester said :

“It was their first time being groomed and they had both had a fairly stressful week with Jasper having an overnight stay at the vets due to poor breathing.  Needless to say they were both fairly anxious and Jasper proved a little difficult to handle.  I’d like to say thank you for your perseverance with him, he is now much happier and calmer and his breathing is back to normal with without all that excess fluff.  Herbie looks as though he’s been washed in Daz he’s so white !  Once again thank you for your professional approach and attention to detail.  I look forward to seeing you soon.”

Thanks for the feedback, Claire … Can’t wait to see your boys again !

sweet as soda

Soda from Blackburn, Lancashire is a handsome 11 month old Ragdoll cross who had developed a few tangles under his armpits, and on his tummy/trousers.  We clipped away what couldn’t be saved.  The rest of his coat was in tip top condition as mum regularly brushes him through.

It’s fair to say that Soda was a little fidgety – think he’d rather have been playing out with his brother Whiskey – but we’re sure he’ll reap the rewards and feel much better from the session.

Look at that fantastic tail ! ……..

naughty and pb

A couple of our favourite babes here – Naughty (black and white) and PB (aka Pretty Boy).

Both quickly settled into their session, remembering from last time what it’s all about.  Although Naughty is short haired and is groomed regularly, she lost a lot of dead undercoat during the session.  PB’s hair is much longer.  We teased out some small tangles and gave him a serious brush out.

Both are bound to feel so much better after their grooms.  Well done Naughty and PB !   See you again soon ….

pretty pat

This handsome Persian called us in to give his coat a real good work through.  Some mats and tangles were clipped away, and the rest of him benefitted from losing lots of dead undercoat.  Together with a nail trim, his eyes and ears cleaned, he’s feeling much happier about himself now.

The session took some time as his coat was so thick – but apart from the odd grumble, Pat behaved very well  indeed.

Mum Barbara from Blackpool, Lancashire later said :

“Delighted with the job that you did for Pat.  He’s a happy kitty again and, despite a couple of necessary bald patches, he looks wonderful.  More importantly, you were kind and patient with him and went above and beyond spending hours to make sure his coat’s matt free.  Thank you 🙂 “

Thanks so much for the feedback Barbara, it’s great to hear that Pat is happy with his new bod !
