Please be aware of the construction on the 121 and add at least 15 minutes to your travel time for your appt times. How nice the road will be when it’s all done though :)

If anyone would be interested in an appt tomorrow please message me!

I’m away until Sunday! I’ll get back to everyone for appts then I promise. Trying to be in the moment as much as possible and keep screentime for work hours ❤️ I will get everyone booked in. Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

I got to meet the one and only Mr. Higgins who also has an alter ego! What a special boy he is and so very loved! He is all sunshine and love ❤️

I hope everyone is enjoying the Sunny afternoon! I just have to take a minute to address no shows :( unfortunately it’s becoming a regular occurrence and I have had to enforce my fee for not showing (well attempting to enforce it)
It’s a loss of income for myself and losing money at the end of the day with expenses when I could have filled the spots will inevitably force me to close my doors at some point which of course I do not want to do!! So as much as I hate to be a stickler on rules this is one I have to be firm on. Thank you everyone who has missed and been so amazing and I do understand when emergency’s come up and I will always be someone who is reasonable! ❤️🐾

I am now booking July :)
The baseball season is in full swing already so my appts after 3 and Fridays and Saturdays are almost extinct 🙃 but I’ll do my best and if I can’t help you I can recommend other groomers who might be able to!
Once things settle in the fall it will be back to business as usual! My vacation this year will be a week in august and I will give notice before it happens :)

Have a wonderful week everyone 🐾❤️

I hope everyone gets to get out and enjoy some of this beautiful sunshine today!! I will be getting back to everyone’s messages about slots throughout the day and evening as I get caught up from being away :) ❤️❤️🐾🐾🐾

Some food for thought today,

We all have to start somewhere ❤️ we all have goals.
For instance for myself, I would love to someday have a free standing shop of my own. Never judge a book by its cover, maybe a rough exterior produces the most beautiful results. It just takes one person to believe in someone 💜🐾

So please feel free to talk to me about any concerns or if you haven’t seen me in awhile and just want to chat and catch up!

It’s time again to get on top of the flea and tick control :) thank you to everyone it’s been going smoothly so far and just to put your minds at ease I treat mine all year round since so many animals come inside our space :) ❤️🐾

Notice to clients that we had out 3rd case of lyme already this year as well as 1 case of Anaplasma (this dog was also one of our lyme positives so has both diseases) We recommend starting tick preventatives asap!

Enjoying the last days of March Break and the sunshine. I will get caught up on messages and requests soon I promise. I do know that next week is full and the week after is almost full so keep that in mind when booking it might be two weeks to get in 🐾💜 and we are heading into muddy season once again!
Enjoy these cuties pictures as much as I enjoy spending time with them all 🌷🐇

Pricing is never a topic I enjoy as most of you know and yet it is something that weighs heavily on me lately. To balance keeping things as low as possible since the boat we are all in seems to be taking on water more often lately than not, and yet making sure my own personal seat on the boat doesn’t sink first. So I’ll try to make this clear but I’m sure once I’m done everyone will still be scratching their heads lol because I’m about as clear as mud!
Small dogs - NO price change as far as groomings and bath and tidies. This means if you are a small dog. Shih tzu etc it will STAY $50.

the Medium and Large and Giant Breeds will see a slight change BUT only on a case by case basis. As some of you are already paying what I feel is fair for the size.
It’s the dogs that take me two hours plus that will mostly see a change as the amount of work is greater. Please don’t panic it won’t be a huge increase I promise! it’s hard enough with food prices and utilities, and I don’t want to be another kick in the backside for anyone. I hope this makes sense to you all and I hope things level out for all of us 🤞❤️🐾

See you all soon
Kat 🐾

Good morning everyone 🐾 I can’t believe it is February already! Although I’ll be honest I’ve been counting down to baseball 🙂

A few things I just wanted to talk about as the year is progressing.

We have been so lucky in this area to have so many talented groomers and new ones coming up and graduating from the course and it gives the area so many wonderful choices because I’ll be the first to tell you that sometimes through no fault on either side it might not work.

So when you are looking for your next groomer just keep an open mind 🙂

Because we all have different personalities and we all have unique ways of grooming for example I know that I always lean toward round faces as much as I tell myself square square I have my own style of faces or sc******ng that is different from others. 🙂

Find someone that enjoys the trade. Not every dog will love their groomer or a bath and that is ok! They don’t like leaving you because you are their safety blanket but I try to help them feel safe here too but I know I fall short of mom or dad!! But they learn to tolerate us lol believe me I’m thinly tolerated and receive side eyes constantly and I love each dramatic encounter as they express their unique personalities. But in the end I always make sure it is a comfortable tolerance and NOT a stressful one because I won’t continue if the encounter is in any way harmful. Because there may be a different groomer that they feel more comfortable with and that is totally ok too. It’s about finding the safest and most comfortable way to get your pet through their grooming experiences.

So I’m very very happy to share this love of grooming with all the amazing groomers in the area. And I’ll be honest if I can’t do something such as stripping or carding - I can help you find a more experienced groomer here 🐾 I’m very excited to be meeting new clients and their dogs lately and I’ve been blessed to have my regulars who I now call family.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!
