Valley Fairy Tails

Hey guys!🐶🐱

Here’s the last squeezes for January! We’ve had some cancellations today and with wiggling around some appointments we can take some extra grooming appointments today.
1pm and 3pm are available for full grooming, if you have multiple pups we can always accommodate so they can come together, and as always walk ins for nails and small services are welcome! 🤗

Another reminder that we do charge $50 for cancelling an appointment without at least 24 hours notice. If it’s an emergency and you tell us of course we understand and there’s no fee. In the winter if the weather is horrible never risk it, we can reschedule and we might even close on that day as well!❄️❄️

Happy January mobile day!
Follow us along our route here. 🦔

We’ve got about 30 stops today starting in Mackey now. We’ve lucked out with another pretty great day to be driving around the valley!!🤩

Pictured: The little dumbo ratty (ears on the side of the head instead of the top like a fancy rat) that sat in our tree to watch a Christmas movie! Who even needs ornaments. 🤣Dijon who will be 2 in march, loves chilling with us no matter what we are doing! Even camping!! 🏕️

Hey friends!
With the holidays and new year just finishing up, I thought I’d share some info on how crazy I am for the pets! (Most of you already know my obsession with helping animals 🤣)

For those of you that know me on a deeper level you know I hate the spotlight. But I’ll never take the platform I have for granted. I am horrible at technology and I should definitely post more about all the good I’m able to do by just doing what I love and having followers to share on these social media pages. Thank you to each and every one of you because even a simple like helps!

Usually when starting up a new pop up/ fundraiser/ or anything else it’s a slow start until word gets out there and people start getting into their routines. On December 11th we had our first pop up at the Pet Valu in Deep River! I had a great time with the gals and learning about what their days in the store look like!

🥰We had 8 pups for nail trims. This is pretty good for a first go! But I really want to show you what only 8 trims and some extra donations as simple as not needing change can do.
This cart of shavings and hay for a rescue that doesn’t see as many fundraisers. They help bunnies, and small animals don't get the same love as cats and dogs tend to get.

Thank you to everyone that supports VFT, it means a lot to me that we can help so many animals together!🧡💚💜

Hey friends,❄️
I'm so sorry, I've been so slow getting back into the swing of things!

❤️My holidays were restful, but I am still having a tough time with my health. This is the norm so I am just taking it day by day. Some slower grooming days and some closed days for appointments and rest. With that being said you may notice a closed day where you have requested an appointment or have a standing appointment, I will reach out and give you some options so we can sort it all out! And I really appreciate all the patience and understanding while sorting out so many appointments for myself!

💙Now to some of the stuff we have going on this month!
We opened back up on the 6th and had a pop up for nails at the deep river pet valu on the 8th. More info to come on these pop ups and where the proceeds go coming soon!

💜Cheryl will be in for the rest of the Wednesdays this month taking cats and some smaller pups by appointment only no walk in nails with her please and thank you!

🩵Another pop up at the petawawa pet valu on the 19th $15 per pets nails, all pets welcome, and all proceeds go to the local spca.

🧡The 16th we have private massages again! If you are looking to just try it out for your pup as they are too high-strung, needs help trusting humans and touching spots on them, mobility issues...ect i will have 20,30,or 60 minute time slots.

💚Mobile day is this Sunday the 12th and we will send out the message hopefully today and will have the route sorted out by Saturday in the evening!

Hey friends!
There’s still some spots left for some teeth cleaning over at hidden oak in Pembroke. Your pets oral health is so important, I’ve seen bad teeth kill so many dogs and cats! Get their teeth cleaned and brush their teeth!🪥🦷

Sometimes I hear people complain about their dogs breath, that smell is not brushing your teeth for years so ya it smells. Or the scent is actually rotting flesh as the teeth rot and so do the gums! Periodontal disease is no joke and can actually get so bad it eats away at the jaw and splits their mandible bone!🙃

Comfy healthy pets cost less at the vet 😉

Some spots remaining !

For our visit with the Kissable K9 ladies!!

January 27th from 9am-8pm
Sedation free , teeth cleaning clinic ! This is a great way to maintain your pooch or felines oral health !

To book please send a message or comment on this post :)

If you have more questions please reach out :)

Share with your friends! 🦷🪥

Hey friends check out this little tree one of my awesome clients gifted us!
We’ve got a pretty big route today with 50+ pets and stops in deep river, chalk river, pembroke, petawawa, Westmeath, beachburg, eganville, and some extras along the way!

Please have patience with us! Just a reminder I am in the shop this week Monday to Saturday 9-6, Wednesday is closed but I will be in doing some friends and family pets so I will cut nails if anyone needs. Sunday the 22nd I will be at pet valu in petawawa from 11-2 cutting nails for the spca $15. Then I am off for the holidays! ❤️💚

🛻Mobile is a service we offer once a month on a Sunday all over the valley. For $20 first pet/ service and $15 for any additional pet/ service!

One last post of the last squeezes before Christmas, again this is just me opening my books last minute so the availability is limited to what we can fit but you may be able to get in with just a longer time, etc.
When these appointments are gone there’s no more availability until mid January and our first day back is the 6th!

12/04/2024

Hey friends here’s some availability for next week!
Remember some of these are already getting scooped up faster than I can even post them!

12/03/2024

Absolute last squeezes this week!
We may not be able to fit your pet in during these times but send us a message to see 🥰
🦮🐕‍🦺🐕🐩 all pupper appointments!!

12/03/2024

Hello friends!
☕️I hope everyone is getting ready for a peaceful holiday filled with cuddles with your pets!!

Here is the December calendar…

🐶🐱🐹🐰We’ve got 3 pop ups this month!
I was at the Petawawa Pet Valu this past Sunday from 11-2 but if you missed it don’t worry because I’ll be back on the 22nd from 11-2 as well!
Starting next Wednesday I’ll be at the Deep River Pet Valu on the 11th from 4-6pm. $15 cash (Or e-transfers to me and I will add the cash for the rescue)

💅As always when I’m in the shop I’ll cut some nails…. Punch cards($100 for 12, $50 for 6), $10 cash, $11.30 on the machine, 4 items to the food bank.
If you need a quiet time text me and I’ll text you when the last appointment is done and I’ll stay after. (I stay until the last appointment is done sometimes 5pm sometimes 8pm)

🚗Mobile is $20 first pet/service $15 any additional on the 15th this month!

🎄This year I kept my appointments simple and so I do have some last squeezes for the holidays just for the people wanting to get in before Christmas! With this being said your pet should still be on a schedule so we don’t get hit with an appointment that should be 2 hours but takes us 6 hours. My heart however, has such a hard time saying no to pets that are so incredibly uncomfortable before the holidays so we may be able to work something out!

🎁friendly reminder Cheryl doesn’t take walk ins but you can arrange an appointment time with her as well for $20.

11/10/2024

Hey there mobile friends!

Today’s the day, we are headed up to Mackey to start!
We have a packed day with over 50 pets to service!
Please remember with traffic, nervous pets, ect there are no set times. Please have patience and remember all the ways to get your pets nails done include
🧡pop ups at pet stores; a few other groomer do these too and most of the time 100% of the funds go to local rescues! $15
💜at my shop I will cut nails every time I’m in the shop as a walk in service. Unless I’m in a private groom or the last groom of the day cancels/ reschedules last minute or doesn’t show up then I go home early! $10, $11.30 on the machine, or 4 items to the food bank!
💚mobile day for myself is once a month on a Sunday at $20 for the first service and $15 for any additional services or pets.
❤️there are a few other people that do nails in your home, other groomers that will do nails by appointment, and last but not least the vet for usually $30-40.

No more excuses for long nails!!

Happy Saturday friends!

🌞Sorry for the late upload, been tweaking some things so that I can take a much needed vacation! I am beyond excited to have some time off so far away that I can't possibly take more grooms on my days off lol!

Some fun stuff going on this month...
🎉🎁🍷The holiday sip and shop! At the best western in pembroke from 5-9:30pm, grab a drink and get your christmas shopping done! going to be super fun and theres so many great vendors to support small businesses this holiday season!

🚙Our mobile day is tomorrow the 10th! And there are lots of saturdays this month to drop in for a nail trim as well as any other days I am here just not our wednesdays with cheryl!

🎄Also lets talk about december grooms! If you want to have your dog groomed at christmas time It must be on a schedule. Everyone wants their pets looking their best at christmas but it really shouldn't be 4-12+ months of work for us at the busiest time of year. We can accomidate 1 70lb matted, or impacted(shedding dogs that have shed stuck in grease) groomed twice a year or up to 4 of the same dogs that are kept on a schedule and maintained at home and it's really not fair to the humans that keep up with their pet 365 days a year instead of just the holidays. A dog and cat skin cycle is 21 days a humans is 28 days, keep that in mind when you are showering and washing your hair!

Good morning mobile day friends!

Follow us along here, starting in point Alexander today!

As always thank you for your continued Patience with construction, taking our time with a nervous pet, helping find a pet, setting up the table…ect

We have about 28 stops today and so far it’s been a beautiful fall drive so far!

Good morning friends!
ITS OCTOBER!!!!
As many of you know (or can tell if you’ve been in my shop) October is my favourite month, fall, spooky, Halloween…. I love it all!

⚠️deep river road is under construction! To access the shop from the highway easier; take ridge road, turn onto deep river road from the post office, and come into the parking lot by the value mart!
Other things to discuss…

❤️‍🩹I’ve been putting this off for a really long time and I’m very sorry! I didn’t post a September calendar as I’ve had a bladder/kidney infection for a little over a month now, trying 3 different rounds of antibiotics, emergency visits, running to the bathroom, throwing up, passing out the works. I’ve been taking it day by day and didn’t want to post availability if I wasn’t going to be able to be at the shop. I was supposed to go to the New England groom show at the end of September and I ended up staying home just in case.

👩‍⚕️An update for after the endometriosis surgery I had in April:
After seeing my organs covered in endo tissue I finally had doctors tell me that I wasn’t faking it for 10+ years! I had 2 cycles of minimal pain, this “minimal” pain means taking opioids for one day in the month, now that we are 5 cycles out from surgery I am the same if not worse than before. I lost the weight I was finally able to gain after surgery and the hormones (birth control methods)to take after the surgery all made me violently ill and threw my cycle for a loop!
You may be thinking what does this mean for VFT: WELL nothing right now because to get into specialist we all know the wait so there’s no update for a bit on where my health will be.

💛I’ve taken time with it and it’s been excruciating to come to terms with but there’s nothing I can do right now. I can’t keep living my life the way I want to because my body simply can’t handle it. I am taking it day by day and it’s no different than before of living every day either in pain or waiting for it to hit me like a bus! I am honouring all appointments, unless I absolutely cannot but I will take a sick day over my dead body which if you know me is exactly how I operate. I will put animals over myself every second of the day…. Which is also maybe my problem. Availability in the new year will look a little different, as well as booking moving forward.
