Dog Grooming By Alex

My apologies for such a long time not posting. I'm currently out in the Sault showing my puppy for the weekend. If u need me send me a message and I will get back either by Tues or if I have time I will schedule you in asap as I do have my book with me. In the meantime enjoy this cute picture of my boy. This is Calcifer's very first show and he's doing so good for a 5 month old. He's loving it and all the attention .🧡

Hey guys, quick post on some changes being made within the shop. I will be upping my prices within the next couple months to offset the oncoming inflation. I will start to overlap dogs throughout the day so I can squeeze in a few more on the schedule. For clients who prefer private appts there will be an extra 50$ fee on top of the price of a groom to accomodate the time. If that's not something you prefer, your dog will be in with maybe 1 or 2 other dogs to keep the costs down on your part. On another note I have been lenient with my noshow/late fees and I will be strictly enforcing them going forward, please read the post to make sure you are aware of the costs of a missed or late appt.
I love what I do and I want to be able to offer both options and I think this is the best way to go about it. Thanks again so much for your continued support! I appreciate each and every one of you! 🧡

***CANCELLATION/NO-SHOW/LATE POLICY***
°Please give 24 hr notice to reschedule your appointment to avoid rebooking fee.
°Last minute cancellations will be charged half price of a grooming appointment to be paid via e-transfer prior to rebooking.
°No-show, no-call/text will be charged full price of a grooming appointment to be paid via e-transfer prior to rebooking.
°15 mins past appointment time will result in a rebook (unless discussed otherwise) and will be charged half price of a groom to be paid via e-transfer prior to rebooking.
I am a one-on-one groomer meaning there are no other dogs during your dogs appointment. I block out a specific amount of time for your dogs appointment. Being late risks running into another dogs time. I count on you to be here and on time for your appointments to keep my business running smoothly and efficiently. These are strictly enforced policies.
Thank you for your understanding and consideration! 😊🙏

Hey guys just popping on here to talk about the respiratory virus going around our furry friends. Apparently it's like kennel cough but worse. If your dog has any symptoms please let me know and we will reschedule to a later date. I don't want anyone catching this for the holidays as it's pretty severe and because of the nature of my home shop I want to keep it away from my own personal pups aswell as all my furry clients. Now I'm off to a dog show to learn all I can! Stay safe everyone and have a great weekend!

Hello everyone! I just wanted to pop in real quick! Unfortunately (im also very fortunate) I will not be taking on new dogs for the forseeable future! Ive gotten quite busy in the past couple months, which of course, I am so greatful for all the love and support from my current clientele. It means the world to me! 🙏
I'm hoping to open the list back up by mid fall or winter. But as it's looking it might now be opened back up until the new year. I may still consider taking on small (under 20lbs) just bath dogs to fill up any small gaps I may have in my schedule, but please inquire anyways for dogs of all sizes, and of course for nail trims, as I can get you on a list and let everyone know as soon as I open the clientele list up again!
Thanks again and ill be back with some updates on availability👋😊

Hey guys, i have a 530 available on thurs the 13th for a bath and shed out, small dog bath and tidy or small dog groom. I am currently booked about 2 weeks in advance, my next availability will be the 26th.
I'm over the moon to say that i am booking up weeks in advance . As you know i am 1on 1 which means my spots are very limited to only 3-5 dogs a day depending on size and requirements. If you can prebook, please by all means give me a shout, if not we can put you in the next available spot and on the cancellation list should anything become available sooner.
My main focus is on giving your pet the best experience possible while grooming, which may mean that the haircut is less than perfect until they are comfy with me and my process. I strive to set your pup up for success as they have a lifetime of grooming ahead of them, why not make it enjoyable!? Im a big believer in continued education and im always learning about new techniques or tools to use for the benefit of our beloved puppers! I look forward to bringing many new practices and wonderful tools into my shop so keep your eyes peeled for some fun things happening in the future!
I just want to say a quick thank you to all who have supported me thus far, I'm truly greatful for each client that walks through my door, and im honored that you trust me with your pup.
This is truly a labour of love and im so lucky that i get to do what i love in the way that i want to. So thank you! Enjoy the beautiful, cool, breezy weekend! 🐾✂️🐩

Hey guys. So today is a heavy day, I say goodbye to one of my sweet lil babies. I'm determined to give him one last good day filled with all of his favorite things before he crosses that bridge. I'm sure gonna miss my little Gino and my home will not be the same without him 💔
I will be pretty out of sorts in the meantime so I will get back to msgs either tomorrow or the following day. I thank you very much in advance for your patience and kindness with me during this time. 🙏

Hey guys, ive suffered a slight injury to my eye today so my end of week clients and possibly beginning of the week clients may need to be rescheduled. My apologies for the inconvenience and i appreciate your understanding 🙏😊

Hey guys just coming on here with a quick update of the ongoings of the shop.
The people are starting to find me and as you know i am one on one, meaning i block out time for your dog and there are no other dogs in shop. Which also means my spots are very limited and im starting to book up 2-3 wks in advance. As more and more ppl are starting to find me it'll become increasingly difficult to get your dog in. If you can and have the means to prebook ur dogs appts in advance i am more than happy to do so. That way it solidifies your spot on the clientele and you dont run the risk of waiting 3-4 wks for an appt. I feel so lucky and blessed with the influx of recommendations and referrals i want to make sure everyone can get in and be seen in a timely manner. Thanks so much for your patronage and consideration. Now, back to work i go! 😁🙏
