An update on getting back to work.
My son is home from hospital and resting well❤️
I will be back to work from Tuesday next week with limited slots available. We have a couple months recovery ahead where we have other hospital appointments to attend so I may have to jiggle about some already booked dates. I hope everyone understands.
Any last minute appointments will be posted to stories and be first come first served but only for existing clients and I will try contact everyone who has missed this last week or so, directly.
Happy Friday,
Sarah

A heads up to all clients booked next week!

I will be contacting everyone that’s booked for next week directly but I am having to take the week off.
As some of you may know, my boy hasn’t been well and was admitted to hospital during the week.
Until I can get him home and make sure he is ok, I will be rescheduling all appointments. He is my priority.
I will try my best to get everyone back in when I am back but until I know what’s happening I cannot commit to this week coming.
I’m sorry to anyone who feels let down and to anyone recently I’ve not got back to. My phone has been going crazy.

Thanks for reading,

Sarah

Hey all!
Just a heads up that I am back to work today (but not for long) after a glorious week off with the HP crew 👌
I have tried to answer some messages but not all
So will be trying to do so over the next couple of days.
I can only accommodate existing clients at the moment, I’m sorry, and I have very limited spaces.
I hope you and your furry besties have been enjoying the summer so far!
Thanks for reading,
Sarah

Happy Monday!

Hey all!
I am back to work, currently working my way through the mega catch up. Thank you to all that have helped me out so far with moving appointments so I can try juggle missed ones.
I feel this photo with Bets is quite appropriate as I’m just keeping my head above water 😂
Thank you for everyone’s patience and understating👌
My diary is currently closed until I get on top of things.
I will be dropping down a day due to family commitments from August so there will only be 4 prebookable days. I will prob still end up working 5 but it’s good to have a day to be flexible with.
As I say to people each year. Advanced bookings are never fully set in stone as you never know what may come about. I have been on a waiting list for a very small procedure which will require me to take a couple weeks off when it happens but I don’t know when. I’ve been waiting since Feb so I’m assuming it will now be in the second half of the year so I am booking ahead with caution.
Hoping to have caught up in the next week or so and will post to the page when I am more organised.
Thanks for reading, Sarah.

Wasn’t sure if I should put a post up but just giving everyone the heads up. I’ll also be contacting directly those who have appointments over the next few days.
Bit late to the party but I have Covid and having to take a few days off. Managed all these years without getting it but it’s finally got me. I realise this is going to a be a big inconvenience for some and I can only apologise.
I’ll do my best to get everyone back in as soon as I can but please be understanding that your appointment may have to change. The joys of working solo is there’s no one to help keep things running or to deal with the catch up if I’m not well.
I’ll hopefully be back to normal in the coming days 🤞
Thanks for reading, Sarah

Please can everyone that was in last week and pays by bank transfer check that you have done so before I contact individually.
Please remember I like to be paid on the same day as your groom as I don’t have time to chase people for money and like I say, I will forget.
If you are a repeat forgetter then please pay by cash on the day to save any hassle.
Happy Wednesday from boss-dog Bets!

A heads up to all that I think I have been hacked. (Not quite sure what the point is of doing so is but it’s very annoying, none the less) Sincere apologies to anyone that has received any random messages from the page and I am again trying to resolve the issue.
Here’s a pic of the scruffy, fluffy nightmare just for your attention.

💕How long has it been since we’ve had a furry bestie in the big red chair? Too long?
Bailey-boo here smashing the cute doggo look now and her from way back in 2014. (I really have to restrain myself from smothering her with kisses)
What a gal!

Happy Thursday!

🎉 A decade of doggos 🎉

Blink and you’ll miss it, we are here at the 10 year mark💕
10 years ago I opened the doors for the first time here at Hoochie Poochie after many months of planning, prep, training, business planning and help from others. You know who you are and I am forever thankful!
So many loves, laughs, losses and loadsa dog pics over these years. It’s easy to forget how much time passes but the photo of my son helping lay the foundations really puts it in perspective. He’s bloomin’ massive now 😂
Looking back through my hoards of photos of all your furry besties really warms my heart. A lot of you have been with me the whole time❤️and I remember every one of you who has had to go.
Thank you to all that have supported this teeny tiny business over the years and continue to trust me with your furry besties.
I’d also like to remember my Phoebs 💕 Without her this whole idea would have never come about.
Dogs are awesome and so are all you guys.👌
Thank you, thank you, thank you! ❤️

Ps I am on holiday until Monday and when I return I have a bunch of raffle tickets to win a FREE groom and a grooming goodies gift basket. All funds raised will go straight to Edinburgh Dog and Cat home.

Happy Thursday and thanks for sticking with me!

💕A heads up to all that I will be closed from 4 April - 15 April and will not be dealing with enquiries, messages or appointments throughout this time.
I’m treating myself to no distractions and quality, unrestricted time with my furry besties (and the humans in the fam of course) 💕

Self service dog wash for all your furry friends ❤️ you can even pick them up lots of yummy treats while you’re there so you are ready for bribery 👌

A friendly reminder of reasons I will not be able to groom your furry bestie -

-if they are unwell. Please let me know if your doggo is unwell. The last thing they will want is to be groomed and we don’t want to have anything that may be passed on to others.

-if they have fleas. Please ensure your dog is up
to date with tick and flea treatment. If you arrive with a dog that is infested then I have to treat the salon and move dogs due in afterwards. There is a charge for this.

-if your bitch is in season

-if they are highly stressed and I cannot settle them

-if they make excessive noise

-if they come in repeatedly matted and advice is not listened to with regards to brushing or appointment schedule.
Remember, a brush and a COMB are your secret weapons to no tangles. I have given away many a free comb/brush/ear cleaner to encourage at home grooming.

-if they are aggressive and I can’t work around it

Please try give as much notice as possible when cancelling or rescheduling. As I have said before, I am not unreasonable and rarely have charged a cancellation fee as I understand that things, out of our control happen and I expect the same in return if I am off sick or need to rearrange.

Any excuse to share a pic of soul dog, Phoebs💕 an oldie but a goodie 🥰
