Did you know that pet grooming is not regulated ? This means that anyone can go on YouTube buy some clippers and start a buisness.

At Graceful Whiskers we believe in learning and that the learning never stops!

🐈Currently there are only a handful of certified feline master groomers in Edmonton and surrounding area, I am one of them.

🐕I am fear free certified and do many extra courses a year to learn more about how to improve your pets grooming experience.

🐈I have taken a variety of different first aid courses including a week long course at olds collage and I also worked at a veterinarian clinic as an assistant for a handful of years.

✅️Another fun fact! I make sure that every year I do some sort of course to further my training. Whether it is grooming related, behavior, medical etc. There is so much more to grooming then just getting your pet looking and smelling pretty.

*UPDATE: Man you guys are amazing!!! I will be doing another order for next month! We are SOLD OUT for this time. I will do another post next month when we get the new order in. 😊 *

Some new things will be introduced to Graceful Whiskers starting this fall.

As many know I have a passion for animals, I have many of my own, groom, teach horseback riding lessons and rehab horses.

Lately we have been getting more and more rehab horses. While we absolutely love what we do it can be extremely draining.

Graceful Whiskers will now be offering T-Shirts!

All shirts are $25 and orders can be made by either private message or by texting Arianna at 780-975-4731. ALL money will be going back to the horses.

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

In the event your pet is pelted as a groomer it is our job to get the mats out by taking the longest blade that can to get UNDER the mats (unless a cat then 10 is the only option) and shave the mats out.

Once shaved often we see redness and/or bald spots.

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. This is due to the tightness of the mats being left for so long.

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

If your pet is not getting better or they are at the point of bothing it that you see an open wound contact your veterinarian to get something to help assist in the healing process.

I would say the number one question I am asked in the summer is how often should I get my dogs nails trimmed?

This depends.

🩺For the average dog it is veterinarian recommended every 6 weeks. This being said there are cases where it might be shorter.

➡️Dogs with curled over or long nails we recommend every 2 weeks until the nails are at the desired length.

➡️Every 2-3 weeks is recommended for dogs with nail trimming anxiety so that we can get them on a routine and hopefully help them lower their stress.

➡️For regularly maintenance every 4-6 weeks is the average recommend depending on how quickly your dogs nails grow.

Let's talk curled nails as I have been seeing more and more lately.

✅️In the case that your pets nails are curled this is a groomer issue that can be solved by cutting the nail. We will cut the nail as short as we can.

⏳️We will then recommend that we start your pet on a 2 week nail trimming schedule to try and push the quick back. Once the nails are at a length where they no longer touching the ground, as a result, putting extra pressure on their joints we can move to a 3-6 week schedule depending on owners preference.

Being said...

🚫If your pets nail is curled and sitting IN THE PAD this is now a medical issue and needs to be cut and seen by a veterinarian as things can get infected and trimming nails out of paw pads hurts. Graceful Whiskers will not do anything that causes pain to your pet which includes plucking ingrown nails out of paw pads.

Please take a minute to do a quick review of our polices. I will really be starting to crack down on them.

-We do NOT accept etransfers unless it is for a missed appointment ONLY cash, visa, debt or Mastercard.

-I get it things come up, mistakes booking happen but canceling day before may result in a late fee and in order to rebook $25 must be paid prior to. This is my main job, while I do not want to be charging a fee unfortunately I cannot always fill the spot and this isn't just a hobby but it is how we pay the bills and put food on the table.

-If you forget / cancel last minute once that's one thing, stuff happens but multiple times and unfortunately we will no longer be able to offer our services to you.

-Neglected animals (severely matted, nails in paw pads) will be photographed before and after, owner and I will be having a discussion, if the animal is neglected again additional fees will apply. If your animal was pelted watch for licking, scratching at the area which is extremely common as mats HURT if this occurs put on a cone and see a vet. Leaving them to scratch/lick is once again a form of neglect.

-I will no longer be "fitting people in" please make sure you are booking in advance, especially for weekends.

With the heat I have been seeing more and more pups with burnt paw pads. Just a friendly reminder that if you can't keep your hand on the pavement then it is hot to walk the pups on it !

07/15/2024

Just a reminder that currently I am booking about a week in advance for weekdays and 2 to 3 weeks for weekends. Sometimes I have random times pop up throughout the week, I will let you know if this happens.

I do NOT work evenings as I have an evening job.

Please book in advance, I have had a few grumpy messages about not being able to fit people in sooner. I am trying my best.

Due to working 6 full days a week and not having any employees sometimes my nights run later and I cannot do call backs that night. I may not be able to get back to you that day but I will get back to you. Texting is always best as I can send a quick message between clients.

Thank you! Happy Monday. 😊

07/06/2024

Please note that we are closed this weekend for a family get together therefore my response time might be slower then normal but I will get back to you.

Thank you everyone for your patience, enjoy the lovely weather! 🌸☀️

Sometimes it is best to just stop...

If your pet is showing signs of extreme stress I won't just call it.

✅️I will try a few things first; treats, happy hoodies, giving more space, giving less space, using a towel, etc.

🐶However if the anxiety/stress does NOT get better, I will stop. This could mean you have an uneven cut or a wet pet or not all of the nails done or sometimes they all get done just not perfectly.

💲I will chat with you on how your pet did and give you a discount but I will not continue and please don't be angry, trust me I do take pride in my grooms. But a beautiful cut or perfect deshed is not worth watching an animal be terrified for those extra 10 minutes.

Do you know how to spot when your cat is stressed ?

👎Panting in cat grooming is a no go. If your cat starts to pant the grooming process will stop immediately this is because your cat is now at the point passed worried. Think stressed vs panic attack; panting is in the panic attack category.

🚫To avoid this we must watch for signs of stress such as flat ears, tail swishing, dilated pupils or being in the crouched position and figure out how to make the cat more comfortable.

✅️In the case where a cat is showing signs of stress we have a number of methods we can try such as towel wrapping, body contact, space, happy hoodies or medication as a last resort.

With spring here so is puppy adoption season which brings up the question, when should my puppy see a groomer ?

As soon as possible. The younger we start the better. Puppies are learning, if we can start getting them use to baths, brushing, nail clipping, etc before they start learning what they are afraid of and growing their own opinions it will be easier for everyone and less stressful.

The most common question that I have been asked lately is do I see all breeds?

Yes! Being a bully breed owner myself I do not discriminate any breed. While booking I will ask if your pet has been groomed before; I ask this to all pet owners no matter the breed. This is to give me an idea on how your pet will be for the process as I know fearfulness is not breed specific.

04/14/2024

Happy Saturday!

Next week is booking up, thank you everyone for the support; booking, liking posts and/or sharing with friends it has made a great impact and I truly appreciate it.

Currently I have 1 appointment left for next week on Friday April 19th at 10:00am, next grooming appointment after that will be Tuesday April 23rd.

That being said I do still have nail trim openings!

Did you know that matting is not just a cosmetic issue?

If your pet is matted it can actually affect them physically.

Matting is hair, dirt, dander and oil all clumped together, alot of the time it is right down to the skin meaning that the mats may actually be pulling on their skin! Matting may also cause skin redness and irritation and could be hidding other issues.

In order to keep your pet happy both mentally and physically it is best that we keep our pets mat free by getting them in for regular grooming.

Noro for a bath deshed.😴

Let's talk fear free ! It's been a bit. As I have said over and over and I will continue to say it fear free is not just treats! However treats can help some pets. Lets remember fear free is recognizing the pet is scared and trying to help to decrease and eventually eliminate the fear. Giving the pet self confidence and trust in the groomer. I had a lovely pupper come in. Prior to the owner had warned me that he can be funny with his feet and quite often needs an extra hand to get them trimmed. I told the owner this is definitely an option however I wanted to try on my own first. During the bathing and drying process I really focused on the feet. Holding them how I would if I was doing a nail trim and being sure to give treats. 1 this gets the pet use to having his feet held in unnatural positions so it becomes a second nature not just during nail trimming time. 2 giving a treat rewards them that this can be fun and rewarding the calm behavior. 3 and this is big, keeping a calm tone! Notice how when I praise I don't use a high pitch super happy voice? I want nail trims to become a normal thing not somthing to get excited about. There is a time for happy excited voice this is not that time.
