Happy Saturday !

Currently we have limited spots available for September and October is already starting to fill. We have even had messages booking for December already so please make sure that we are booking in advance (at least 3 weeks at this time) even for nail trims.

Grooming Salon update. We have hit a bump in the road which has set a few things back time line wise. We will be offering house calls for the winter of 2025 even if the salon does open sooner.

We are still accepting new clients for weekdays only in the following areas; Sherwood park and Fort Saskatchewan.

If you are needing grooming done sooner I highly recommend reaching out to...

Kylee at Pawsitively Kreative

Or

Quinn and Jackie at C&O Dog Grooming

Let's talk flooding !

❓️First off what is flooding ?

🐶Flooding is a method where you "forcefully expose the pet to stimuli that triggers it's fear." Example being holding a dryer at the dogs face as it continues to snap at the drier.

❓️What is the big deal? Why don't we use this method at Gracefulwhiskers?

🐶During this process your pet is no longer learning. They are in a fight vs flight mode. Showing them hey this isn't scary by holding it to them for the next 30 minutes is not teaching them anything.

🕷Think of it like a person with a spider phobia. If you leave a spider on them will they go oh see not scary ? Unlikely. It's more likely they try to shoo the spider off, run or even yell in fear. Now. We forcefully leave the spider on the same person. We hold them down as the spider crawls up. Likely this person will throw their head around, cry or yell. This is the same thing for your dog!

🐾As always we understand that there are many methods that may work for others, we do not judge others or tolerate hate on our page. 🐾

Matting comes in alot of forms from small mats to tight pelts that feel like a turtle shell.

In the event your pet is matted, as a groomer, it is our job to get the mats out by taking the longest blade that can get UNDER the mats and shave the mats out.

Once shaved often we see redness and bald spots. This is from the mats actually pulling at the skin as the pet is walking.

This means that your pets fur was left for too long.

After the shave is complete you may notice swelling, redness and/or your pet bothering at the area; scratching and/or licking for the next couple of days.

In this case put a cone on (that you can buy from a pet store or vet clinic) to avoid them from bothing the area.

If your pet is not getting better or they just won't stop bothering it then it is best to contact your veterinarian to get something to help assist with the healing process.

This picture is from a severe case of matting. The blades never got hot, they also do not just bald a cat like this. The unevenness is from the matts pulling at the skin over time.

As always this is a safe space for learning and pictures are for learning purposes.
