It's been a busy time
here at About Town Dog Studio, and we have been excited to see our
customer base grow substantially over the past year. We know you have a choice in
this industry. We are pleased to see so many long-term customers who
appreciate the skill of our team, and the quality of care that we provide to your
pets.

Grooming Tip #1:
Clips vary depending on the season
Colder Weather:
As it gets colder, you may want to keep your dog's coat
longer. To maintain coat health and length, regular brushing is vital.
We can assist you with our Wash & Tidy service which includes washing,
full-coat grooming, face, feet & groin tidy, nail clipping and ear
cleaning. For an additional charge, you can spoil your dog with an
aromatherapy treatment.
Warmer Weather:
In Adelaide we enjoy long periods of
warm weather which can have an impact on your pet if they are not
regularly groomed. Your dog will continually seek cooler areas such as
tiled floors, and bathrooms. This is a clear sign they are overdue
for a clip to keep them cool. We can provide a range of different clips
at various lengths. Just speak to one of our friendly staff to
discuss the options available for your pet. Keeping your pet comfortable
during the hot weather doesn't mean they have to be bald! |

Finding us:
Our Blackwood salon is located in
the Blackwood Plaza at 170 Main Road - opposite our good friends at
Rubens Pet Food & Accessories. We have chosen a location with
plenty of pet-friendly parking available, set well off the road in the back
corner of the plaza.
Blackwood is open
by appointment only. Please remember when
booking to let us know that you would like to book in to the Blackwood
studio as all bookings are made via our central booking number:

For our customers in
the Northern suburbs, our Paradise studio at 723 Lower North East Road
(opposite Paradise Motors) is open Wednesday,
Friday and Saturday by appointment. We are part of a group of shops set
slightly back off the road with plenty of parking available. This is safer
for the coming and going of you and your pet.

Grooming Tip #2:
What to look for when selecting a grooming studio
Selecting a pet groomer is just as
important as selecting your own hairdresser. You should be able to
communicate with your groomer, and trust that they understand your
specific instructions. Important questions your groomer should ask you
include:
- Does your animal have any allergies or skin conditions that we should be aware of?
- Is your pet vaccinated?
- Are there any special medical considerations for your pet?
(eg. moles, lumps & bumps, heart conditions etc.)
Always check for cleanliness where the
animals are groomed. If it's not well maintained, chances are your
pet won't be either.
The caring staff at About Town Dog
Studio are proud of our standards in grooming and with our hygienic,
modern facilities. Speak to us if you would like to know more. |

Please remember to book well in advance for
special occasions such as Christmas and Easter to avoid disappointment, as we
are always extremely busy at these times.

What our customers are saying:
A huge thankyou to the beautiful girls who worked so hard and so
amazingly skillfully on Lolly our little poodle. She tip-toed out
looking so very special. While I was waiting for you to complete her
I just heard how beautifully you spoke to her and how patient and
kind you were with her. I promise we shall do lots of touching her
feet and lots more stroking her nose and praising her (we do but we
obviously need to do a lot more and it will help your time with
her.)
Kind Wishes,
Elizabeth |

Looking Forward:
Next time you visit, why
not try our forward-booking system to help you
to remember when it's time to come back for a clip or wash. If you would like
to take advantage of this service, just let us know how regularly you would
like to visit and we will call you a couple of days in advance to remind you
of your next appointment. This service helps to make life easy by taking
away the need for you to remember when you have booked your visit.
