I post this to support and to spread awareness! This little sweetheart has gotten himself into some trouble. They now believe that he has chewed on a battery resulting in deep painful ulcers down his esophagus.
My client and friend could really use some support and positive energy sent their way. They are asking for donations to help cover some of the medical expenses Mowsley has incurred. If you are able to help, clicking the link below will take you to their gofundme page.

We hope you feel better soon Mowsley!!💚💚💚💚

The worth of Grooming 🐾

You get all sorts of dogs. Dogs that haven’t been to a groomer in over a year. Dogs that make you cry, make you frustrated and make you sad. Dogs that are matted head to toe. Dogs that are 3 years old and have never been to a groomer, let alone been outside of 4 walls. Dogs that fight you, kick you and bite you. Dogs that that are too anxious for a brush. Dogs that are fear-aggressive and ones that are just aggressive. Dogs that are unsocialized. Dogs that treat your shop like their own bathroom. Dogs that are too frail and weak that you know should’ve crossed that rainbow bridge. Dogs that are 100 lbs that break your back and 2 lb dogs smaller than the clippers. Dogs that take longer than they’re scheduled. Dogs that are unpredictable. Dogs that make you question why you do this job.

Then the clients.
You get all sorts of clients. Clients that don’t bring their dog in regularly. Clients that complain about your prices. Clients that think their time is more valuable than yours. Clients that blame you for their unkempt dogs. Clients that complain because their matted dog was shaved down. Clients that have never taken a brush to their dog. Clients that refuse to take direction or education. Clients that don’t pick up after their dog. Clients that scream and yell at you. Clients that leave bad reviews over the simple things. Clients that make you question why you still do this job.

But then there’s dogs that…

love coming to be groomed. Dogs that have been socialized. Dogs that give you lots of hugs and kisses. Dogs that are so happy to be there with you. Dogs that are fun to groom. Dogs that are well-mannered. Dogs that come in every 4 weeks. Dogs that get brushed regularly. Dogs that don’t cow kick you for a nail trim. Dogs that are so relieved after shaving their pelted body. Dogs that make you smile. Dogs that make every hard part of this job worth it.

But then there’s clients that…
Are willing to learn how to maintain their dogs coat. Clients booking on a regular schedule. Clients who brush their dogs. Clients who understand the maintenance that comes with their dog. Clients who are willing to pay your worth and more. Clients who are kind. Clients who look forward to seeing you every session. Clients that treat you with the outmost respect. Clients that care about your time. Clients that feel awful when they’re late. Clients that understand that their matted dog has to be shaved. Clients that have become friends. Clients that make this job worth it.

So in the end, this job is never easy but it is worth it🐾

Signed- a burnt-out but strong dog groomer.

Thank you to all the clients who make this job worth while. I love what i do and the relationships ive built with many of you and your pets. 🥰

Last year, on what would have been Betty White’s 100th birthday, a simple campaign was created, asking animal lovers to make a donation to their favourite animal charity in Betty’s honour. The was a huge success all around the world, and Betty would be thrilled to know it’s become an annual event that has benefited many deserving animals.
Join us in celebrating Betty! Make a donation today!

ENVY GROOMS
2023 UPDATES/REMINDERS

Thank you to all our clients for another amazing year. We have grown so much since we opened, So much so, that we are now required to apply HST to our services. This will be effective immediately. Payment is due at time of pick up, including for e-transfers.
Please note that everyone signs off on our policies when they first become a client with us. We will be very strict going forward with enforcing our late cancellation/no show fees as well as late pick up fees. Please remember there are also fees for matting, and difficult to handle pets. This is all covered in the paperwork you fill out at your first appointment.
Please note that although we try to send out a reminder text the day before your appointment, this is sent as courtesy. You are responsible for keeping track of your appointment times and dates. We need a minimum of 24 hours notice before time of appointment if you are needing to cancel. Cancelling with less than 24 hours notice will result in a fee of 50% of the expected grooming cost and may need to place a non-refundable deposit for future appointments. As a small business we are not able to absorb the same losses in revenue that a larger box store is able to.
Clients who frequently cancel or arrive late for pick up/drop off will be removed from our client list.
We appreciate your understanding and look forward to continue making your pet's the envy of your neighbourhood in 2023.

Old, but a must read for anyone who has or is interested in a puppy!!!

There are so many red flags to watch for to know if you are getting a puppy from a responsible breeder.

1. They should be putting you through some kind of interview/vetting to see if you would be a suitable owner, have appropriate accommodations, time, and resources to care for one of their puppies. These arent just profit for them, they genuinely care about their pups.

2. They can show you the parents and/or have official documentation/lineage available for you.

3. They do health testing/health guarantee.

4. They tell you they will take the puppy back if you find you are no longer able to care for it so they can vet out another suitable owner(some will even refund the money.. not all but some)

5. PUPPIES SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN FROM MOM UNTIL 8 WEEKS!!!! Do not take a puppy from someone who offers it any sooner than 8 weeks.

These are only few things you should be looking for but the big ones that stand out to me.
