Becky had Carpel tunnel surgery mid Oct 2026 which requires 3-4 weeks total rest.
-
The surgeon insisted up to 3-4 months may be required for a full recovery, with significant weakness.
-
To accomodate all dogs and allow our valued clients to receive the best possible service during the next few months we will initially be grooming with both Becky and Tom working together.
-
If Becky recovers quicker than expected, we will open up bookings for a second groomer as soon as is feasible but will start this process with a slow introduction and ramp up to normal hours over time.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING
Note for all clients
Schnauzer and Mini Schnauzer
All grooming options should start with choosing Clipping and Styling option.
All Schnauzer grooms should require 2 or more hours.
It depends on -
-
how frequently the dog is groomed,
-
the amount of matting or tangling in the coat
-
how close to the breed standard the owner wants to aim for
- as to how long is required in the booking to achieve it.
Do not use size as the predetermining factor in how long to book for.
If a mini schnauzer is having a clip off except for the head then 1.5 hours may be sufficient time to achieve this but usually longer is necessary as many of the breed can be reactive to some aspects of the grooming process.
