Hello everyone!

I’m pretty awkward recording myself but thought it may be a bit easier to explain this way! I have a new policy in effect immediately 🐾

Due to the unfortunate uprise in late cancellations (less than 48 hours) I have had to implement a new policy. Upon booking your appointment, I will now ask that you send 50% of the service as a deposit in the case you have to do a late cancellation or a no show occurs. In that case, I would keep the deposit so I am not losing out on 100% of the income. Upon rescheduling, I will ask for another deposit. I hope you all understand this new policy, please reach out if you have any questions or concerns! 💜

Good evening everyone!

Here are August’s days ☀️

✨Cedar/Cinnabar-August 10th (Morning)
✨Nanoose/Parksville-August 18th (Morning/Early afternoon)

As mentioned in my last post, spots are filling up fast for August so let me know if you’d like to book in 🐾

07/13/2024

Goodmorning🐾💜

Just wanted to give a heads up that I will be going away on an Alaskan cruise August 20th-27th, therefore August is already booking up quite quickly! I highly recommend prebooking to ensure you get your preferred day/time, otherwise I may not be able to accommodate! 💅🏼

Have a lovely weekend 🐱🐶

Hi everyone! 💜

Some of you may already know this but I haven’t officially let everyone know!

I am starting to offer mobile grooming services for dogs! The only thing I require from you would be access to a bathtub with a detachable shower head and a space to set up my portable grooming table.

Alternatively, you may choose to bathe your dog the day/morning before the groom and I will offer a $25 discount.

Since grooming takes a lot longer than nails, my days/times available for grooms are Tuesdays for 1pm and Saturdays for 9:30am!

Pricing depends on the size of your dog and condition of coat, plus an additional mobile fee.

Let me know if you’re interested in booking your dog in for a groom to look their best self this summer 🐾💜🐶

Good afternoon! Hope everyone has enjoyed this beautiful weather we have been having with their four legged friends! 💜

My cancellation policy is currently set for less than 24 hours notice, which you are then charged 50% of the service.
I’ve had quite the increase of cancellations lately, meaning I have unfortunately lost out on income.

24 hours does not give me ample time to fill the spot(s), therefore moving forwards and effective immediately, my new cancellation policy will be at least 48 hours for rescheduling.

I will please ask that the 50% of the service be sent via e-transfer on the same day as the appointment.

My hours of operation as still the same:

🐾Tuesdays-1:30-6pm
🐶Wednesdays/Thursdays-4:30-6pm
🐾Saturdays-9am-12pm

July is filling up fast so don’t forget to prebook! 💅🏼💜

I wanted to give a reminder of the discount I offer for homes with 4+ pets! Instead of each additional animal being $15, I charge $10 after the initial $30!

I have a few last minute spots left this week in case your animal(s) is in need of a trim! Otherwise I’m booking into the second week of July!💅🏼

Sweet Memo! 💜(pronounced mee-mo, like nemo!)

Memo is such a sweet, cuddly gal. She doesn’t love her nail trims, however with some emotional support and love from dad she tolerates them so well! Memo is also very forgiving and appreciates the many pets given before and after her nail trim💅🏼
She’s often a bit squirmy for her nail trims but with each visit she gets more and more comfortable with me! Today, Memo did so well and just let the nail trim happen 💜

06/01/2024

Good evening everyone!

Thank you to all who shared and referred clients my way, you guys are the best 🐶

With spring also comes sap season-meaning more sap potentially getting stuck in our furry friend’s paws! Sticks, rocks, dirt and other debris can also get stuck in your dog’s paw pads! Getting a paw pad shave as an add on to your nail trim is a great idea just in time for the warm weather coming up! I offer this add on for $5, after the initial $30 nail trim fee💜 Depending on the type of coat your dog has as well, matts can form in the paw pads-making it very uncomfortable for your dog to walk!
Take a look at this before and after-what a difference! 💅🏼💜

05/19/2024

A common question I get asked is-
How often should I get my dog/cat’s nails trimmed? 🐶🐱

Short answer is every 4-8 weeks, however for both animals the answer can vary. Factors include quick length, activity level and personal preference💅🏼

Many dogs who are younger and more active can get away with their nails being trimmed less as they wear them down more naturally on rough surfaces compared to a senior dog who may not be as active. Certain breeds such as dachshunds tend to have longer quick lengths, meaning they often need nail trims more often🐩

For outdoor cats, I recommend leaving a bit of length for self defence. However if you have an indoor cat and would like to save your furniture, I would recommend every 4-6 weeks🐈

Message me or text 778-269-2712 to book your animal’s next pawdicure! 🐕

Did you know there are benefits of using a dremel on dogs’ nails? 💅🏼

First of all-What IS a dremel?

A dremel is basically an electric nail file for dogs! It allows you to round off the nails on the top, bottom and sides, making them as smooth as possible. By using the dremel you are also able to get the nails as short as possible without hitting the quick.

By using the dremel regularly (at least every 3-4 weeks) you are also able to gradually shorten the length of the quick. Every dog is different, however I have seen a difference in quick length in as little as 4-5 months with regular use! 💜 I offer this service as a $5 add on, after the $30 initial nail trim charge!

Pictured below is Tucker, who gets to go longer between nail trims as he get his nails dremelled!! 🐶

05/14/2024

Goodmorning everyone! ☀️

Just wanted to share that I now have business cards! I will always have them on hand when I’m out and about doing nails, so if you would like a few to hand out to family or friends, just let me know! 💜

A reminder that if you refer a family member or friend and they book in with me, I will offer an add on of your choice ($5 value) on me! 💅🏼💜 This includes a paw pad shave, dremel or sanitary trim. Simply message me to let me know who you have referred and I’ll make note for next time to include an add on!

05/13/2024

It’s time for an educational post about muzzles!! 💜

I do not provide muzzles as there are far too many sizes and different types for me to have the right size for your dog. If your dog is reactive to nail trims, I highly recommend a muzzle to keep everyone involved safe. Taking your dog to the pet store with you to be able to fit the muzzle on them to ensure it fits properly and comfortably is key. A basket muzzle is a fantastic option as pictured below on sweet Dexter. Basket muzzles still allow dogs to pant and take treats comfortably, with their entire muzzle still being contained. I am not a dog trainer, however I know that muzzle training is an option for dogs who aren’t too comfortable with having a muzzle on quite yet!

Let me know if you have any questions about muzzles, I’m happy to answer them 💜

Nora the cane corso/english mastiff mix and Tucker the boxer 🐶

First off I want to start by saying that Nora is an extremely intelligent, driven dog. Often, fearful dogs take longer to gain their trust, however it only took one nail trim with me for her to gain my trust and realize that I am indeed a friend, and she now associates nail trims with lots of love, praise and snacks. The first time I visited Nora she was very anxious and fearful towards nail trims. She wasn’t particularly fond of me even holding her paw. The second time I came to do the nails Nora didn’t show any signs of fear or nervousness, she even greeted me at the door with a tail wag and a couple of kisses! What a good girl Nora is💜

Tucker is such a cute man with his underbite, he can be wiggly for his nail trims however he’s pretty tolerable, if there’s food involved he could care less what’s going on 😂 He sometimes tries to give emotional support to Nora during her nail trims which I think is adorable, he likes to think he’s helping😂 I’ve always loved boxers for their funny and goofy personalities💜

05/12/2024

Hope everyone has been enjoying the lovely weather we’ve been having! 🌞

Just a reminder that I’m accepting new clients for dog, cat and guinea pig nail trims 💅🏼 My refer a friend/family member offer is still redeemable for a free add on of your choice ($5 value) of adding the dremel, paw pad or sanitary shave! 💜

Here are June’s dates:

🐈June 8th-Parksville (Morning)
🐈June 16th-Nanoose (Afternoon-I don’t usually work Sundays however Saturday the 15th I will be taking off for a grooming seminar)
🐈June 22nd-Cassidy/Cedar (Morning-limited spots left for this day)

Message me if you’re in any of the above locations and would look to book in! 💜

My second time volunteering at Helping Paws Nanaimo Community Animal Clinic was another success!! 💜

So many grateful dogs and cats-and even happier owners!! The gratitude was greatly expressed from all the owners🥰

I got to see a few repeat clients, and meet lots of new human faces and furry faces as well!

I was thrilled I was able to help out with some
nail trims and I will be back May 23rd for their monthly clinic! 💅🏼🥳

I thought it was about time I introduced my own animals!! 💜

Earl is on the left, he is a tabby/siamese mix who will be 3 in July. I’ve only had him for 4 months and I adopted him from the Kitties & Cream cat cafe!! My vet told me he is the absolute chillest cat he has ever met, he purrs at the vet 😂 He’s a very simple man who enjoys toys from the dollar store the most! Earl lets me do his nails no problem!!

Roxy is on the right, she is a chihuahua, pomeranian, shih tzu, toy poodle mix, but mostly chihuahua! Roxy has been by my side since I was 10 years old, making her 14. She is my first dog and such a sassy diva lady 💅🏼💃 I’m so thankful that she is in such good health for an old gal!! I have my friend hold Roxy for me while I do her nails, as she’s a typical chihuahua who doesn’t like her paws touched 😂💜

My sweet, sweet Rocky💜

When I first met Rocky last summer, I was amazed by how well he was doing for a senior boxer at 13 years old. He showed me his favourite sun bathing spot and it was so cute. I’ve never met a boxer over the age of 10! His owners have taken such good care of him evidently! Rocky is such a good man for his nail trims, whether it be on the couch while he’s taking a snooze or laying down on the floor. I always give him belly rubs before and after which he goes over the moon for, he’s just a big teddy bear! I have become very close with his mom, Robyn, who is an absolute sweetheart! 💗

The last few times I’ve seen Rocky, Robyn has let me know that he is slowly declining. This makes me so sad to hear, however I know he has lived the absolute best life possible. I’m so grateful I met this ever so sweet guy, and am able to help trim his nails! He holds a very special place in my heart💜
