Hey everyone!! It has been a while but I just wanted to wish you all a Happy New Year and update you on some upcoming changes!!

I will soon be offering daycare and boarding again! I have not yet set a date as to when this will be back but I’m hoping by the beginning of February! I have a feeling that this is going to book up quite fast, so if this is something you are in need of or are interested in please message me as there will be very limited spots each day!!

There will also be a slight price change coming with the new changes as prices for everything are getting higher!

Please message me with any inquiries, needs and questions! ❤️

Okay friends… it’s that time. The muddy, wet, stinky weather for us dog owners 😩 anyone else wish we could just skip spring?

But, worst part about it is the dirty, stinky, crusty, wet collars and leashes 🤢 I have completely switched my boys collars and leashes to biothane! Specifically Simon’s Lead. Simons Lead is a small business in Edmonton, Alberta. She sells different lengths, widths and PLENTY of colours for every product! Collars, leashes, training tools, keychains etc.

We are so happy to be apart of her team and tell you all about her product! You can use our code Shilo10 to save on your Simon’s Lead orders! Fast turn around time and shipping, flat rate shipping, and such amazing quality.

It is soooo easy to clean, literally just run under warm water and wipe it! No more stinky, stained, dirty dog gear!

I absolutely love having Sloan in my care, it is my dog, my fiancé and my favourite part of the week! She is so quirky and fun and so well behaved for a 9 month old pup!! 🎀🐶

Some things I work on with Sloan when I have her are Socialization, Exposure Therapy, Down/Sit stays, Heeling and more. These are all important functions in a dogs life! It is important to me not just as a business owner but as a dog lover to continue the training the owners have been doing at home when their dogs are in my care. I want to see every dog overcome any obstacle and succeed!

A Girls Best Friend isn’t just about dog sitting, walking, boarding, etc,. It is about showering your babies with love, treating them as I would my own, and helping them succeed! Having a dog is not easy, it can be frustrating and messy. But I do everything I can to make it a little easier and as an option for people to feel safe and comfortable leaving their dogs with someone!

Well unfortunately COVID found it’s way to me but I am better! This page has grown so much and I’ve had so many messages! ❤️ I appreciate it so much!

So a few things I would love to announce are that I am looking into adding a person or two so I can help more people outside of my regular clients that take up most my time. So if you or a friend know anyone, let me know!

Prices may be going up just slightly due to gas prices, or I may charge an extra fee for gas, amount depending where you live. No more than $5 charge.

Anddddd last but not least I am working on a giveaway ❤️ I appreciate the support everyone has given me thus far and just want to show my appreciation back! 🥰 stay tuned

Got to love up and take care of this handsome boy! Welcome to the pack Finley ❤️☺️ can’t wait to see this guy again he’s just full of love ☺️

The page is almost at 300 likes!
Maybe it’s almost time for a giveaway?! (Stay tuned!)
I’ve been experimenting and doing some planning on my spare time and have some products that I’d LOVE to bring to the table. As much as we all love our pups us humans need some self care too!

So I have started making the following:
-Lotion Bars
-Sugar Scrub
-Epsom Bath Salt

My goal is to create these products and create the least waste as possible! The lotion bars omit the plastic bottle, and the scrubs and epsom salts will have a small discount if you return the container unbroken! 🙂 and to top it off they are made with limited, and gentle ingredients!

These photos in order are

-Lavender Coconut Sugar Scrub
This scrub is PHENOMENAL I have sensitive skin and this scrub worked amazing before shaving my legs to create and oil barrier for smoothing shaving, it’s hydrated my skin so much and my skin hasn’t been this soft in so long! It is so creamy and smooth and has a light lather with a bit of water!

-Lavender Epsom Bath Salt with Dried Rose Petals
This is the perfect bath soak combination for relaxing, and help ease some pain! The Epsom salts are great to ease pain, relieve inflammation and more. The lavender is a great addition for a calming scent and to relieve anxiety, stress and help calm down! The rose petals are a great addition for helping anxiety, and relaxation. And the look of rose petals in the bath is just so pretty!

-Lavender Lotion Bars
Made from all natural and limited ingredients these lotions bars are great for moisturizing and adding healthy oils to your skin! They warm up from your body heat, rub a bit where you want the lotion and finish by rubbing it in with your hands

This old Percolator is the perfect addition to my small business. It makes my paw balm process so simple! Throw all the ingredients in and let them melt over low/medium heat and simply pour into the tins! No making a bunch of dishes anymore.

Such an awesome antique find from Vintage Games 'N Junque go check them out for lots of little antique Knick knacks, collectibles, games, and more!

Shilos favourite days are the days we have little miss Sloan ❤️ he loves having a friend at home sometimes 🥰 these two melt my heart every time they’re together!

Hi all!! Things have been pretty busy over here! I just wanted to share a post for our new followers informing them of the services and products we offer!!

First off, our paw balms have been getting amazing reviews and have even made a big difference on my own dogs paw pads! The balm is amazing to moisturize, soften and heal damaged paw pads and to protect them when outdoors! The cold and the heat can cause dryness and cracking on the paw pads so it is good for all seasons!

And second, I offer dog walking, sitting and boarding services! I can provide many references, my page has only 5 star reviews, I am truly passionate about working with animals and dogs especially! I am looking into expanding and hiring a couple people as I am one person and can only do so many things at once but I want to be able to provide services for everyone that needs them. This type of business is so hard to find in this city and I want to help change that!

So, message us for any of your needs! I also do some personalized items like mugs, shirts and stickers etc!
