Let’s talk no shows! The amount of no shows and last minute cancellations has made me question if offering private appointments is something I can keep doing. I simply can’t move on to the next dog, my shop is empty & income is lost.

I had to reduce my hours earlier this year due to my health. Trying to accommodate too many clients by adding to already full days, left me from 1 to 2 & now 3 dozen trigger point injections monthly. Please, if you can’t make your appointment, please reach out. It’s so easy to switch you to another day in your scheduled week. I am now unable to switch dogs to already full weeks.

My new policy will require dogs to wait until their next scheduled appointment unless I get a cancellation. Your standing appointments for the year will remain the same. There will also be a fee for no shows & possible prepayment for appointments if it’s happening multiple times. Payments are due the day of services. If you have been reminded for etransfers more than the occasional time, please pay in cash at the time of groom.

I appreciate ALL my amazing clients & hoping these changes will allow me to love your amazing Dusty Dogs for many years to come. Thank you all so much!

Bobi ate human food his whole life. Is that the secret for a forever dog? Science says yes it’s a big part of it and you need to read The Forever Dog.

The Forever Dog by RODNEY HABIB G & DR. KAREN SHAW BECKER with KRISTIN LOBERG is an international #1 best selling book and is a must read for every dog owner.

“Surprising New Science to Help Your Canine Companion Live Younger, Healthier, and Longer”

Best gift ever for all dog owners!

Happy birthday Bobi!

Kennel Cough is rampant in Pictou County and we will not be enforcing our 24 hr cancelation policy. If your dog has any signs of a cough or had in the last couple of weeks, please reschedule. We ask you to potty your dogs at home and wait in your car until we come get your pet. Dogs can be contagious and not show symptoms so we want to limit as much exposure as possible to keep your dog and my own dogs safe. Thank you for understanding. -Tanya

Kennel cough can be really tough on a dog. Dr. Sara Bledsoe explains kennel cough treatments and symptoms.

Happy National Purebred Dog Day! Curly Coated Retrievers are a very rare breed, especially here in Canada. They need minimal grooming & share many of the traits of other retriever breeds. They are however rather aloof with strangers which make them greater watch dogs. They are the oldest of the retriever breeds originating in England. Currently there is only one registered breeder here in Canada. Dusty Dog is proudly bred by Mistcurl Curly Coated Retrievers.
