mr red
We called in to see Red again in Smallwood, Cheshire as he was due his maintenance groom.
Red is a 1 year old Siberian, and quite a big lad. When we arrived for our morning session, Red was flaked out on his cushion as he’d been out gallivanting all night. See the piccie on the left of Red, before his session. He looked shattered .. it must have been a good night out !
Red’s coat is really beginning to grow back nicely now (we clipped away significant areas back in February). When we met up again in March, Mum had been able to comb, and today again in May, Red was knot free. Fantastic ! We had a good brush through to work through a few small tangles, and remove dead hair from his coat.
We played some soothing music for Red, and think he enjoyed listening whilst he was laid on the grooming table. After the session, Red looked bright eyed and bushy-tailed … and went off again into the garden to check out what he’d been missing.
Well done Red … Such a good boy and see you again in a few weeks time …
through the good and the bad …
These 2 chicks will have seen a lot together over the years !
Do you have any piccies of yours – when they were little ones, and how they look today ?
Why not come over to our facebook page and let us all admire … !
lovely lemmy
Meet Lemmy.
Lemmy is such a sweet 2 year old boy who lives in Blackburn, Lancashire. His Distinguishing Mark – as noted on his grooming card – is “Super Cute”.
We were asked to call to help Lemmy with a few mats that had developed on his sides, and around his rear end. Lemmy wasn’t afraid of the clippers as we set to work on his sides. However, he wasn’t as keen while we were working around his rear. Some sweet talk from mum helped distract him whilst we got to work.
After the clipping, we brushed out the remaining hair, which Lemmy didn’t mind at all. In fact, he loved his ruff, head, neck being combed. He sat quite proud with his chin in the air. He obviously knows he is handsome !
Good boy Lemmy – well done – you’ll feel so much more comfy now …
hurry, to avoid disappointment !
Appointment slots for June 14 are quickly being booked up !

Then you be smiling all the way … Like our Edward in Liverpool !!
our ollie
We were delighted to meet up with lovely Ollie again in Liverpool, Merseyside. Ollie is 3 years old and quite a big boy. Apart from a small tuxedo, his coat is black.
Ollie was holding on to a lot of dead winter coat, which was in need of a good work through. As Ollie is very tolerant of the comb, we were able to tease out many of the tangles and tufts that had developed. Some small areas were too tough and needed to be clipped away. See the piccie of the dead hair that was brushed out.
The session was very relaxed – to the point where Ollie had his eyes closed and was dozing. We think he enjoyed it !
Following the session, mum Barbara said :
“It was lovely to see Sandra yesterday and to see my Ollie after the session with her. Ollie had a few bad knots and clumps which I have tried to brush out without much success only receiving cuts and scratches off him. Sandra comes and what do you know – he’s a little angel for her. It just proves with her loving and caring manner our babies have true confidence in her and I can’t recommend her enough. Sandra you’re amazing – what would we all do without you ? Thanx again and see you soon love from us all x”
Thanks so much Barbara xx ! – and good boy Ollie …. See you again soon …..!
purrfect free range eggs
We called on one of our customers in Swinton last week, and met up again with James the cat.
James’ story and piccie will follow, in a few days.
For now, just want to say “Thanks, James”, for the lovely eggs you gave us from the chicks in your garden. They were v. tasty ! xx
handsome luigi
It’s only a matter of weeks since we last met up with Luigi, an Exotic with semi long hair who is 3 and a half years old. Luigi lives in Windermere on Bowness, Cumbria.
Although Luigi’s coat isn’t that long, it is extremely thick and needs to be brushed regularly to avoid mats forming. Luigi isn’t that keen on mum brushing him, which makes it a difficult task.
Today, his coat was quite clumpy and took some time to comb through. This was Luigi’s third session and although he is a little nervous by nature he obviously remembered previous get togethers, and was evidently more comfortable with the grooming. He was a little fidgety on 2 or 3 occasions, but for the most part lay quite patiently whilst we got to work.
We removed an awful lot of dead hair from his coat and there’s no doubt he will feel more comfy now. His coat looked gorgeous !
Really well done, Luigi. Such a brave boy and we’ll see you soon to keep on top of your coat….
gentle cleo
This gorgeous young lady is 5 year old Cleo who lives in Stockport, Cheshire.
Cleo is a Maine Coon, and as such is a large girl but quite slender with it. We were asked to meet up with Cleo as she had developed a few mats around her body which she needed some help with.
It took Cleo just a couple of minutes to settle on the grooming table and then she relaxed, listening to the soothing cat music we played for her, whilst we set to work on her coat. Cleo was really chilled and a model customer !
After the session, dad John said :
“Our first time using EssentiallyPurrfect and I was extremely impressed with how well the session went. Pro level grooming at its best 🙂 I couldn’t be impressed more with EssentiallyPurrfect after seeing the patient and meticulous care of Cleo. And the finished job was perfect. I’m sure Cleo will be feeling a whole lot better now relieved of the mats. 10 out of 10.“
Mum Amy told us :
“Yes, we were very happy, have used a few groomers before but weren’t very happy. She’s like a different cat now those matts have gone! Can’t believe how chilled out she was in the session too !”
Well done Cleo … Such a clever chick. It was nice working with you and so pleased you’re feeling happier with your coat !
