Price increases. Many groomers dread this moment as inevitably there are clients who either become angry or try to guilt their professional groomer into not increasing their price. Neither of these responses are warranted nor should they be tolerated. Your professional groomer doesn't raise prices for the fun of it, it is a necessary part of staying in business. Here are some things your professional groomer needs you to know:

1. Price increases are necessary. Just like any other profession, price increases are a necessary part of running a successful business. No small business can continue to exist without ever increasing their prices.

2. Inflation affects your professional groomer too. The costs of power, water, gas, and rent have all increased. Your groomer must increase prices to cover these expenses.

3. Salon expenses you may not be aware of have also increased. Shampoos, conditioners, clipper blades, scissors, sharpening services, the list goes on and on...all of these expenses must be covered by increasing grooming prices.

4. Professional groomers must be able to make a livable wage. They cannot operate a professional salon for minimum wage. They must be properly compensated for increases in doing business as well as their skills and education.

To sum things up, if you expect your professional groomer to stay in business and thereby care for your pet, please do not complain when they increase prices. Remember that if they cannot earn a proper living, they may decide to close the doors...which leaves you searching for another groomer.

🚫🐾 ATTENTION PET OWNERS! 🐱⚠️

Declawing your cat might seem like a fix for scratching issues, but it comes with serious consequences for your furry friend. Here's why you should think twice before declawing:

1️⃣ It is Inhumane: Declawing isn't just removing the claws; it's actually the amputation of the last bone of each toe. This can lead to chronic pain and discomfort for your cat.

2️⃣ Behavioral Issues: Cats rely on their claws for natural behaviors like stretching, marking territory, and defending themselves. Removing their claws can lead to behavioral problems such as biting, avoiding the litter box, or aggression.

3️⃣ Health Risks: Declawing increases the risk of arthritis and other joint problems as your cat ages.

4️⃣ Lifelong Consequences: Once declawed, your cat cannot retract their claws anymore. This alters their balance and can cause long-term physical and psychological issues.

Instead of declawing, consider humane alternatives like regular nail trimming, providing scratching posts, or using kitty claw covers.

My girl Zora 🥰 I've been grooming Zora for a little while now. She has some health issues that make her produce more oily skin and this results in more knots and matting. We've finally got it under control, and she is living out her days happy and comfortable.

I was so sad to learn yesterday that one of my sweetest kitties passed away 😥 My heart is breaking for his mom and brother, Arnold.

Sly was a great example of how important building trust between a kitty and their groomer really is. When we first met, he would hide under anything he could fit under, and it took 3 meat tubes to get him through the whole bath and blow dry process. After only a few appointments, we were able to get him down to 1/2 treat for the whole thing!

It was an hinour to get to know Sly. He was such a sweet boy and I'll miss him terribly.

RIP Sly guy 💔

Much like regular visits to the vet, regular grooming not only allows your beloved kitty to maintain their overall health, but it also allows trust to build between us, and this is absolutely essential to the process!

For the small amount of current clients that request a once-a-year groom/shave, I am no longer fulfilling these requests.

Thank you for understanding. 🙏
