My Story

About Salon Cherie

I have a wealth of experience in Styling, Clipping & Grooming

I have been grooming dogs and cats now for over 43 years. I became aware of the need for dogs and cats to be groomed when I worked in shelters. I was exposed to dogs and cats being so neglected that their coats had to be shaved right down to their skin just to free parts of their bodies so that they could move again. I had to remove parasites, clean sores, and so on, sadly I continue to see pets in these conditions today. I also gained my experience in grooming when I worked in salons that serviced the pet dog industry and some of these dogs such as poodles would not only go home in perfect fashion but have their nails painted! These experiences have shaped my grooming style today and have made me aware of why all dogs and cats need not only to look good but more importantly, to feel comfortable and clean. Lots of animals find it difficult to relax when being handled, so I have always been as gentle as is possible when grooming so that they are able to feel comfortable and enjoy the experience. I achieve this by working at the pet’s pace – that is why I need sufficient time. I have always been and continue to be a Low-Stress Groomer/Handler. My background in Vet Nursing and Dog Behavioral Training has been at the heart of my success. My wonderful clients acknowledge my passion and that is what keeps me motivated😊

Checklist

1. If your dog is suffering from a chronic serious medical condition or does not appear well today, have you confirmed with your Vet that it’s safe for you to take your pet to the groomer?

2. Emptying anal glands – if glands aren’t full and I empty them I might cause a problem so please check with your Veterinary Surgeon before asking me to empty them then I will be only too happy to oblige

3. No matter who recommends the groomer, have you or your friend/family member visited the grooming salon and had a good look around at it and seen what is in it, asked lots of questions about the procedure, how much experience the groomer has had in the gentle handling of Dogs and Cats and most importantly checked to see how secure the premises are – you don’t want to get a call saying your dog has escaped!

Conditions

  • For most dogs it is in their best interest for you to leave them here alone with me because this reduces their stress levels but for some that are too old, have medical or behavioral issues you may find it kinder to stay with your dog. Some people would prefer to wait in their car, you are more than welcome. For ALL cats it is best that you stay with your cat.
  • Please tell me if your dog is allowed to eat treats and socialize with strange people/dogs
  • I aim to do the best for you and your dog/cat so if I notice that there is something that is wrong with your favorite I will always point this out to you in the hope that you will seek advice from your Vet
  • Some fur kids find the grooming experience absolutely intolerable, there is a number of reasons for this i.e. his skittish, his had a very bad experience in the past; the owner has not socialized him to life experiences, even car drives, or not got him used to be handled in/on sensitive places on his body. For these fur-kids I suggest that you stay with me just for the time that it takes to complete that task I also recommend that you consider joining my Dog Training Course, I have had some excellent results with fur kids that have completed the course then being able to be more relaxed when I groom them
