Paws With Mel

Well, it's good bye from me at Lomber Hey Farm. Thanks a million to everyone who supported my small business over the years. I'll miss you all.
Laura will be starting her small business from the same premises and I wish "Tailored Tails" every success.

So June 25th was going to be my last day before retirement but due to the unbearable temperatures I have had to cancel all remaining grooms. Apologies to those affected but it would not be safe for the dogs nor myself.

I will miss each and every pup that I have had the pleasure to groom over the years.

Thank you to all my lovely humans also. Your generosity and kind words have been overwhelming and I thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart for the flowers, cards and gifts.

New adventures await. Just a wedding to get through first! 🤭 👰‍♂ # # #

Gorgeous Henry. Last groom for this pup. I’m going to miss him. # # #

Just a little reminder that June 25th will be my last day in the salon. I have no wiggle room currently and no available appointment slots at this time.

Just to let everyone know that my website and online booking is now out of action. Please call or text for appointments. Thanks

It's super cold at the farm this week. Apologies to those clients who's appointments have been cancelled due to frozen pipes. I'm tackling it on a day to day basis when I get to work each morning and so far I've had to cancel 2 days. I will still send reminders but please be aware I may text you on the morning of your appointment if the pipes are not defrosted. I'm hoping for rain and warmer weather.

I will endeavour to reschedule everyone but it's very tight fitting everyone into an already full diary.

POLITE NOTICE

I meant to post this last week but have just been so busy. If you are aware or if you suspect that your dog may have fleas, then please do not bring them to the salon. You will need to cancel the appointment, treat the fleas and reschedule your dogs groom.

I’ve had to flea fog the salon 4 times in as many months due to dogs coming in with fleas. It costs me £15 each time to do this and I have to cancel all of the following dogs that day in order to do so. This has an impact on the rescheduling of those dogs and a loss of earnings.

Thanks for everyone’s understanding in this matter.

Just giving everyone a heads up that Paws with Mel will be closed from July 4th through to August 4th. My answerphone will be on but I will not be able to respond to any calls. Next bookable appointments are the 2nd week of September. Yes, September 🫨.

Paws with Mel will be closed for a while due to a close family bereavement. Apologies to those people affected by cancelled appointments. 🙏

📢 PRICE INCREASE ANNOUNCEMENT 📢

This is never an easy thing to do and I have held off for as long as possible, trying to absorb the extra costs I have been facing. Both my electric and water bills have increased massively over the last 12 months as well as the costs of shampoo and upkeep of equipment.

I would like to inform my wonderful clients that starting 1st April, 2025 there will be a slight price increase of £3.

I understand these times are hard for everyone, and would like to say a big thank you to each and every one of you who support my small business. I’m hoping that this increase will not deter you in choosing Paws with Mel for your Pup but completely understand if this increase puts me out of your budget.

If there are any problems , please give me a message 🐶🐾🐾
