Since I have retired from grooming I am now managing the office at Wild Tails

We are doing a donation drive for the local SPCA

If you have any doggy items you would like to donate you can drop off at our salon on 4512 Wellington road or contact me and I will pick up.

Thanks for your support over the years, I do miss grooming but love seeing some old clients at Wildtails, we are taking new dogs for grooming and we groom cats as well.

Obviously I am no longer doing any daycare or overnight dog sitting, but I can recommend some people.

It is with a heavy heart that I have decided to close down the Pooch Parlour grooming salon.
After breaking my ankle in 2018 I have encountered complications and feel it necessary to stop working in the salon.
I will be contacting all my clients personally in due course, but thought I should make the announcement as soon as possible.

I would like to thank all my wonderful clients for their years of support and friendship. I have become quite attached to you all and, of course, all the amazing dogs I have had the privilege to groom.
If any clients would like me to make available the grooming information for their dogs, please feel free to contact me.
Miranda at Animal Magic on Metral Drive has kindly taken on some dogs and have been happy with her work.

I wish you all the best and for those that have become my friends personally, I hope we can stay in touch.

Hugs from myself and Jackson 🐾🐾

So touched to receive a Christmas gift from a long term client despite the salon being closed for the rest of the year.
Thank you

I’m sad to say I’m taking another two weeks off work after picking up another fracture to my ankle (how is a mystery)
For those that cannot wait for my return please refer to Animal Magic for an appointment.
I plan to be back in January fingers crossed.

Merry Christmas to all my furry love bugs 🎄❤️🐾

Thanks for the awesome bottle of wine. Christmas is going to be fun 🍷

I’m feeling a little guilty this year as I’m not doing Christmas presents for my grooming dogs, the broken ankle stifled my shopping abilities. Next year I will make up for it 🎁 🐕

That didn’t stop an awesome client from showering me with gifts today. Thank you Kelly, I’m overwhelmed by your generosity.

Pooch Parlour is back in business

Thank you to all my understanding and patient clients.
I am taking bookings for mid January 2019 onwards.

Upcoming appointments may take a little longer as I’m still hobbling around in my aircast. Safety first for my fur babies 🐾🐾

Ankle update

I am healing slowly, thank you all for your patience.
It will be a little longer before I return to the salon, I have managed to move most clients to new slots and thanks to those who have made alternative arrangements.
The girls at Animal Magic on Metral drive have gladly provided appointments whilst I'm laid up.

Please note that I have no availability until mid January. Priority will be given to existing clients so I will not be taking any new clients until I have caught up with everyone.

If you have any queries regarding your booking I can be contacted on 250-797-2264 or via Facebook messenger or emailed on [email protected]

Howdy clients
I fractured my ankle this week and will be rescheduling some grooming appointments.
I’ll be back as soon as I can put weight on my foot.
If you have a grooming appointment coming up please expect a call from me.
If you are prepared to wait for my return that’s great, otherwise I can recommend an alternative groomer if your dog needs urgent attention.
Thanks for your patience and understanding.
