**IMPORTANT**
There is currently a parvo virus outbreak in London. Please try and potty your dogs at home before you bring them for their groom and do not walk them around my property. I don't want to risk any of my groom clients or my own dogs contracting it as it could be deadly especially with puppies. I have experienced it many years ago with a 9 week old just vaccinated litter of puppies and one of them puppies died from it.
Now is a good time to make sure your dogs parvo virus vaccine is up to date.

**NOTIFYING NEW CLIENTS**

As I prepare to retire in the next couple of years, I've made the difficult decision to close my books to new clients. My existing clients mean the world to me, and I want to ensure I can continue to provide them with the highest quality grooming services without compromising on quality or availability.

I appreciate your understanding and gratitude for the trust you've placed in me over the years. I'm committed to making my remaining time in the industry just as exceptional as ever!

Existing clients, please don't hesitate to reach out to schedule your next appointment. I'm looking forward to continuing to serve you and your furry friends.

Thank you for your loyalty and support during this transition.

Regards Heather

I only have a small handful of large dogs left, I've been doing them for a long time. This ole boy "Erie" has been coming to me for 11 years, since he was a puppy. He's decided he's no longer confident on the table so today he got a little spoiled getting his brushout on the floor....love this ole boy.

I'm taking a few days off to enjoy a quick adventure before the November/December busy season starts. December only has 3 spots available and November is rapidly filling up so if you want a spot don't wait.

Im back from my week off.
Don't forget your dogs fall appointments. If you want to grow out their coat for winter it's even more important to maintain your grooming regime so your dog doesn't come in matted in December, January or February when it's cold and require a matted shave down!
Also prevent a badly matted coat that can irritate the skin in winter and gather ice and snowballs.

I will be taking a week off from grooming to enjoy some beautiful fall days from the 21-30 so I will return your messages when I'm back to work. Everyone needs a complete break away once in awhile!

We have been made aware of a potential intestinal virus/infection affecting the canine population of Norfolk. In light of this, we kindly request that you reschedule your dog's grooming appointment if they have been showing any signs of illness. This precautionary measure is necessary to ensure the well-being and safety of all dogs in our care. Please contact us to arrange a new appointment time when your dog is fully recovered.

We would like to inform you that we have received multiple reservations from our regular clients for the months of August through December already, with December being nearly fully booked. To ensure your preferred December date, we recommend making a reservation at your earliest convenience. As Christmas falls on a Wednesday, our availability will end on December 20th, and we will be closed from December 21st to January 5th. Only a limited number of spots remain for December. If you wish to schedule an appointment before Christmas, please do so now, as we will not be overbooking or working weekends.

The deer and lone star are the ticks to worry about. Dog and wood ticks seem prevalent in spring early summer and deer ticks more in the fall. Not alot of lone star ticks around but they are out there and can give you a host of evil problems as can deer ticks.

‼️ATTENTION‼️
For all my snowbird clients or anyone who travels to the USA. There are new rules being put in place for dogs going across the border. No longer is a rabies certificate good enough.
I am keeping an eye on this and will post more as I get more information. I know there is a big panic over this by people who go south for dog shows. It's not just a vet check. It's got to be stamped by government officials. This will put a halt to alot of dogs being able to accompany their owner across the border even for day trips.
**This is for ALL dogs going across the border, not just dogs being imported!

Starting on August 1, 2024, dogs entering or returning to the United States must meet new, specific requirements depending on where they have been in the 6 months before entering the U.S. and where they received their rabies vaccines (if required).
