Primpaws Pet Grooming

I’ve really fallen off the bandwagon of posting pictures. Trying to remember to do this more frequently.

I’m the past year I’ve been doing more continuing education focusing on senior dog handling and handscissoring.

Not taking any new clients currently but thank you for your support and interest.

I have not posted in a long time, sorry about that! A few updates from Primpaws

- I am not taking on any new clients of any type expect wirehaired dachshunds.

- I am currently booking into October for Saturday appointments and September for weekday appointments. I strongly suggest people begin thinking about their Christmas appointments now.

- my card reader was on the fritz and I’m so sorry for the issues it has caused. I’ve ordered a new one to arrive this week.

Every single one of you guys are amazing. Thank you so much to my incredible clients to have played with Melody, commented on the grooms, and just made my day a little brighter by bringing your dog into my home. Thank you everyone and have a great week!

Woohoo! I finally finished my full year of Master Grooming School from Pets Icon Grooming Academy in November of 2022. It was a bit of a slow start but I am super happy with how much the course improved my grooming. I’m so much more confident with using shears over just clipper combs and I absolutely love handscissoring now. It’s been a fun year full of amazing critiques from Miss Valerie herself. I’m pretty proud of myself for doing this 🥰

I will continue to push myself to learn more and try new things, but I can finally confidently call myself a Master Groomer 🤩

I’m going to try to be better about posting pictures this year! If you don’t want your dog posted please comment “delete” on your photo and it will be removed asap.

Primpaws pet grooming is not taking any new clients at this time! We appreciate everyone’s interest in our wee little salon and we will announce when we are ready to take new clients when the time comes here on Facebook.

So proud of our little standard wire chocolate boar puppy and his mom! They finished all the requirements for their Canadian championship. This puppy was bred, owned, handled, and prepared by the show by his mom and we are so proud to have been able to watch it happen. Congrats to the little brown bear for his incredible wins across the prairies

I must kindly request that my clients please pickup on time. I provide a 20-30 minute text before your dog is finish and provide a time estimate when you drop off your dog. Some dogs are being left for 30minutes to well over an hour past their pickup times. We can no longer accommodate this, as our salon is very small and the next dog may not be friendly. It makes it very difficult for me to keep things running smoothly. Of course we will continue to allow a grace period but after 30 minutes there will be a $10 charge per half hour.

We are closed until Tuesday the 16th when we will resume normal hours. Looking forwards to a quick vacation with my family and dogs. See everyone next week!

Congratulations to our lovely client Mr. Banks who finished his Canadian Championship today! Well done little tootsie roll!

We will be closed this weekend for Easter, see everyone back on Tuesday!

There is a rising amount of kennel cough cases in Calgary. Though not inherently dangerous, kennel cough is very contagious and stays airborne for a long time. We ask that if your dog has what you suspect to be kennel cough that you let us know immediately so we can reschedule your appointment for the next two weeks. There will be no charges or fees for cancellations, we would rather everyone stays safe.

Shedding season is here! As someone with an arctic breed I feel the pain my clients do. Many salons offer "deshed packages" for extra premiums, we don't. Here at Primpaws I make sure to use the proper products for your dog's skin and coat to make sure hair comes out the healthy way, not forced out with acid or other common gimicky brands. We do this at no extra charge, because you shouldn't have to pay more to have your dog's skin cared for properly!

Always exclusive, not sponsored
