She’s a well-known expert in pet dental care and shares her knowledge about keeping pets’ teeth clean and healthy.</p><p>They chat about why pet dental hygiene is becoming a hot topic. Anastasia recently spent time at <strong>Crufts</strong>, where she noticed more pet owners are asking about dental care for their pets, especially dogs. This growing interest means groomers have a real opportunity to add dental cleaning to their list of services.</p><p>Bill and Anastasia also talk about how groomers and vets can work together, not against each other. Groomers can look after the day-to-day dental needs of pets, while vets can handle the more serious cases that need anaesthetic. It’s all about teamwork and making sure the pet gets the best care.</p><p>Anastasia shares tips on how groomers can get started with dental cleaning. She talks about the <strong>Emmi Pet system</strong>, which allows groomers to clean teeth without needing anaesthetic. It’s a great way to boost your business and help your clients' pets at the same time.</p><p>If you’ve ever felt unsure about offering dental services, Anastasia has training and webinars to help build your confidence. She wants groomers to feel ready and supported when adding this to their services.</p><h3>🦷 Key Takeaways</h3><ul><li><strong>Pet owners want dental care.</strong> Anastasia has seen a big rise in demand for pet teeth cleaning – people are more aware of how important it is.</li><li><strong>The Emmi Pet system works.</strong> Anastasia made extra income in her first month using it, and you can too.</li><li><strong>Be clear with your clients.</strong> Grooming-based teeth cleaning isn’t the same as a vet’s full dental – and that’s OK. It’s about offering regular care, not medical procedures.</li><li><strong>Work together with vets.</strong> Groomers and vets can both play a part in keeping pets healthy; it doesn’t have to be one or the other.</li><li><strong>Support is available.</strong> Anastasia’s course covers everything from dental health to using the Emmi Pet toothbrush – plus lots of useful tips.</li><li><strong>You don’t have to feel nervous.</strong> Trying new services can feel scary, but with the right training and tools, you can grow your business and help more pets.</li></ul><br/><p>If you'd like to learn more about Anastasia and see if you can earn extra income, visit: <a href="https://www.dogtoothfairy.co.uk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.dogtoothfairy.co.uk</a> and don't forget to use the Promo Code: <strong>BILL10 </strong>for 10% off the courses.</p><p>As always, I'd like to thank the podcast sponsor, <strong>Lopay</strong>, the low-cost payment platform that helps you keep more of the money you earn!</p><p>You can find out more and sign up for Lopay here: <a href="https://merchant.lopay.app/ref/PETPASSION2500" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://merchant.lopay.app/ref/PETPASSION2500</a>, where listeners of this podcast get <strong>£2500 of fee-free transactions</strong>!</p><p>And of course, if you feel like you could benefit from <strong>Bill's business programs for the Pet Grooming industry</strong>, visit our website: <a href="https://petpassiontoprofit.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://petpassiontoprofit.com/</a></p>]]></description><content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>🎧 This Week’s Episode: Talking Teeth with The Dog Tooth Fairy:</h3><p>In this episode of the <strong>Pet Grooming Business Help and Support Podcast</strong>, Bill Betts is joined by <strong>Anastasia</strong>, also known as <em>The Dog Tooth Fairy</em>. She’s a well-known expert in pet dental care and shares her knowledge about keeping pets’ teeth clean and healthy.</p><p>They chat about why pet dental hygiene is becoming a hot topic. Anastasia recently spent time at <strong>Crufts</strong>, where she noticed more pet owners are asking about dental care for their pets, especially dogs. This growing interest means groomers have a real opportunity to add dental cleaning to their list of services.</p><p>Bill and Anastasia also talk about how groomers and vets can work together, not against each other. Groomers can look after the day-to-day dental needs of pets, while vets can handle the more serious cases that need anaesthetic. It’s all about teamwork and making sure the pet gets the best care.</p><p>Anastasia shares tips on how groomers can get started with dental cleaning. She talks about the <strong>Emmi Pet system</strong>, which allows groomers to clean teeth without needing anaesthetic. It’s a great way to boost your business and help your clients' pets at the same time.</p><p>If you’ve ever felt unsure about offering dental services, Anastasia has training and webinars to help build your confidence. She wants groomers to feel ready and supported when adding this to their services.</p><h3>🦷 Key Takeaways</h3><ul><li><strong>Pet owners want dental care.</strong> Anastasia has seen a big rise in demand for pet teeth cleaning – people are more aware of how important it is.</li><li><strong>The Emmi Pet system works.</strong> Anastasia made extra income in her first month using it, and you can too.</li><li><strong>Be clear with your clients.</strong> Grooming-based teeth cleaning isn’t the same as a vet’s full dental – and that’s OK.

The discussion also highlights the lack of time available to strategize and enhance business operations, which is often a consequence of an overwhelming workload driven by inadequate pricing.

        <p>I speak to a lot of pet groomers who say to me they cant physically do any more dogs in a day and they still need / want to make more money. Well they can put their prices up but also look at adding on a valuable service! <br>
<br>
Teeth Cleaning can help your business in so many ways. It is a great service to offer your customer and look after their dog. It adds money to your business for not a lot of extra work. <br>
<br>
So I speak to Anastasia Waugh The Dog Tooth Fairy all about the Emmi Pet teeth cleaning system. This was recorded in July and talks about an offer however that expires in July. <br>
<br>
You can find out more and get in touch with Anastasia on Facebook. Search The Dog Tooth Fairy.&nbsp;</p>

        <p>Emma and I have run a Pet Groomers for 16 years now and have always employed staff. We pulled contracts off the internet and struggled with holidays, policies and generally made it up as we went along. I even tried to write a handbook for our staff. I spent days and day and days writing this thing and never published it! I got so frustrated when ever we called the chamber of commerce HR support line with questions and problems they would ask what our "Handbook" said!!!!<br>
<br>
When we started our mentorship journey we soon realised we needed to outsource and this is where we met Megan. Boy did we meet her at the right time. Megan has been invaluable when it comes to help and support. She has also supported our staff too.<br>
<br>
If you employ staff, rent a table, have an apprentice or thinking about doing that then this is a MUST listen. It was recorded Feb 2021.<br>
<br>
If you would like to speak to Megan or check out her services go to<br>
