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).

Just a heads up when planning your bookings. I will be taking the last 2 weeks of May off and the first 2 weeks are already getting bookings because of it so if you think your schedules for grooming may fall in May or even early june you may want to pre book your May appointments early or even now to hold your preferred date/time.
